Medical Camp

Today George left for a trip to Kenya. The ministry we worked with in August (Agape Project International) is doing another medical camp in Kenya and invited us to join them again. Unfortunately, Eli and I weren't able to go because it costs a lot for us to travel as a family and being out of his routine is challenging for Eli (which means it's challenging for his parents!). I am bummed to miss this ministry opportunity, but am happy George is able to go. Plus, we are all planning on joining them for the following medical camp in August. The camp is put on by a team of Americans and Kenyans and will occur for five days in remote locations where there is a lot of need for medical help. There will be doctors to see patients and medications available, at no cost to them. Most important, they will have the chance to hear the gospel and pray with local pastors, if they desire. At the last camp, many people came to know the Lord and over 1300 people were given medical treatment. George will be there to do lab tests as well as fill in where needed (such as in the pharmacy and injection area). Medical missions will always have a special place in our hearts and we are honored to be apart of API's extended family. Please pray for George and the rest of the team as they work all day (early morning to late at night) to give much needed help to the community. May the Lord clear the way of obstacles and speak to each person that comes.

(Eli and I would love your prayers too. Our family isn't whole without George with us.)
