The SMI Traveling Clinic Hits "Downtown" Teshie!

Greetings from Ghana!

Things have been going great here. Fast and crazy, but really great. Today the team went to downtown Teshie and set up a medical clinic. It was hectic but went very well. Many patients were served and many good conversations happened. There was also a children’s ministry where the leaders made “Gospel bracelets” with the children. They are bracelets with different color beads that represent the truths of the Gospel. If the medical clinic was hectic, that was pandemonium! The kids loved it and were sporting their Gospel bracelets all over “downtown” Teshie.

An evangelism outreach team has been going out each day and that has gone well. Also today, different teams went two-by-two to different public schools to lead a devotion/teaching out of the Bible. The public schools here are surprisingly receptive to the Gospel being taught in their classrooms.

Every evening the team meets and recaps the day and also does a case study of a patient from the day. This is led by Morgan Wills and other doctors to help the medical and nursing students gain experience in diagnosing illnesses and in how the Gospel and spirituality are not only integrated, but central in the healing/treatment process.

The Wills and West children have been a great addition to the team in our children’s ministry. We are thankful they are here.

It is difficult to get pictures up here, but I will keep trying.

Keep praying! Thanks!
