On September 19, 2012 we had our first of three medical teams arrive this year. This team comes from a sister state, Tennessee. This amazing team came out of Sullivan Baptist Church. It was a joy and a pleasure to serve beside our brothers and sisters from Tennessee. They came organized and prepared to see 200 patients a day. There was two doctors and one Honduran doctor four nurses and others who felt lead to help this medical team. They were unified from the very beginning. Their first stop was Piedra de Agua. This Baptist Church was nestled upon a hill surrounded by mountains. The team got set up and started seeing their first patients around 8:30. The Hondurans would come check in and wait to be seen. There would be around twenty five awaiting to see a doctor. Before they saw the doctors the doctors took turns sharing the plan of salvation with each group. The team rotated between the pharmacy and check in so everyone got a chance to do something different throughout the week. After seeing the doctors they went outside and around the church to the back door to the pharmacy. This procedure really helped keep down crowd control. Pastor G headed up both locations. Pastor G set up a tarp outside the door of the pharmacy so those waiting could stay in the shaded area. The team treated each patient as if they were the only patient there. They spent as much time needed with each and every Honduran person. It was a beautiful sight to stand back and observe how each day was orchestrated.
As it is written: How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news." Romans 10:15b
