Clinic Has Started!

Headed out from Phnom Penh to Svay Rieng to set up our first clinic.  The first clinic was at Paum Pnoe Methodist Church.  We arrived there around 1:30 and set up our clinic and started seeing patients immediately.  We have a dental clinic, eye clinic, 2 doctors and a Cambodia doctor joined us on Monday.  We also set up a children's area and a prayer corner.

People of all ages were already lining up to see us and we went straight to work.  Day 2 we continued the process of seeing patients.  By end of Monday we had seen over 600 patients.  We were exhausted but also uplifted.

We found the needs enormous with diverse issues which we need to address and regret that we can never meet all the needs. The Cambodian people are so open hearted, warm, friendly, gentle spirited and humble.  It is such a joyous experience helping these people.

The team has become a family.  We all work very well together.  It is amazing how God has brought this group together!

Because of the number of patients and the communication problems, we have a large number of Cambodian team members that have joined us.  They have merged with our team helping not only with communication but with people control and all the other clinics.  What a pleasure it has been to get to know these enthusiastic young Cambodian Christians.

We are having a few technical difficulties, but will upload more pictures as soon as we can.

We ask for your continued prayers for our team and those we will be seeing.
