Thursday

Thursday 

Today was our last day of the medical clinic and VBS.  There was something of a feverish pace to the clinic as we tried to finish seeing patients from earlier in the week. 

Several people prayed to receive Christ with Cynthia and Bill.  One woman came by their spot today to thank the team and give us a gift: an African mother doll and two avacados!

I was able to have a remarkable conversation today with Shadrack, a man who had become a Chistian last year with Carter and Sue. Shadrack was in a gang at the time, and we had prayed that he would be able to withstand the pressure that would inevitably come.  After we left he was beaten by the gang and threatened with death if he continued to come to church. As a result he hasn't been coming, but is trying to be a Christian.  He wept when I told him that our church was praying for him.  He is now married to Agnes and is expecting a child. He shared that if it's a boy, he will name him Carter and is a girl, Susan.
Blessings,
