The clinic continues to function well

The registration and evangelism tents were full all morning.

We had a smoothly running clinic once again, now that everyone has been trained in one or more of the stations. We saw 421 patients, many of them were Muslim once again. Word is spreading that we are showing one and all respect and love. It is giving the church a good name. Three different men came through registration this morning saying they were considering becoming Christians. Our evangelists alerted me and we made sure that I worked with each one. After finding out what their medical needs were, I directed each conversation towards what a wonderful church that Springs of Life Lutheran Church is. I told of how I had done these clinics at least six times before here and what a good place to grow their it is. I mentioned the Bishop, the Evangelist and the Chair of the congregation before praying over them. All of them were interested in attending worship next Sunday. We brought Bibles with us to be distributed at the Bishops discretion and I mentioned to him that these new believers might be a good place to begin.  Thank you Jesus!

We helped Bishop Bakari's niece with her vision.

Around 2 pm, Elizabeth and Ken took an Uber to the airport to make a last Dutch effort at retrieving their lost bags. As they got to the airport,  our dear Catherine got a call that Ken's luggage would be delivered today. They spent the afternoon at the Kenya Air desk and when that failed, they tried British Air, since that is where the fiasco started. No luck. They returned to Little Daughters in time for 7pm dinner. Sandra and Elizabeth are now headed to the Hub, a nearby mall to get Elizabeth more clothes. This has been such a shame.  She has been an incredibly hard worker, distributing eye medications and working with our doctors and patients with joy and professionalism. To have all of this happen on her first mission with us saddens me. We have all saved every receipt related to this and will be filing claims, but it doesn't help in the moment. 

We are expecting large numbers of people tomorrow since it's a national holiday.  In my experience,  people sleep but then fill our registration tent by mid-morning.  Pray for us for strength and joy that we will be able to care for the people and live out the Gospel among them.

Stay tuned, I will post next as I am able. We are having our nice dinner with Catherine and Mama, her mother who dearly loves me tomorrow after the clinic. Blessings to all!
