Day 2

The disciples went out and came to the city, and found it just as He had told them; and they prepared the Passover.

Mark 14:16

Dear Saints,

Friday was a good day. Our large team had settled into Dona’ Esther in the early hours of that morning, and were able to sleep a few hours before we walked to the church. At the church, each of our four units (VBS, dental, vision and medical) repacked and reorganized our supplies in preparation for the days of service ahead. The floor at the church was like a beehive, covered with supplies and busy workers. We pulled out old supplies stored in the supply room from 2019. Kim and I placed some supplies in our trunks, while other items that were expired were discarded. Everyone worked well together, assuming different roles. We were the Body of Christ. The portable dental chair was assembled and powered up. The nine member medical team was readied. The pharmacy, with its myriad of components, was efficiently prepared by our pharmacist, Jessica Marsee. The VBS team (our largest unit) was wonderfully organized, and excited to get started.

That afternoon, Kim and I attended to a few patients, all members of the Galilea church. Those people are so patient, tolerant and welcoming!!  One long time friend, Luis, had suffered a partial amputation of a finger on his right hand ten days earlier while working. I was assigned the difficult task of removing all six sutures from his fingertip. We finally accomplished that task, and will see Luis again on Sunday.

God is providing for health, safety and His guidance and purpose. We know His abundant blessing in all things.

Sincerely,

Dr. Tim and Dr. Kim
