Day 7: Lita

Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness; you will be enriched in everything for all liberality, which through us is producing thanksgiving to God. 

2 Corinthians 9:10-11 

Dear Saints, 

The day serving Lita had many components. Most of the team worked in the dining area of the Liebenzell Center. The vision unit had four people serving, and they served many people every day. The dental unit consisted of dentist Johana from Ecuador, Jan Moore as hygienist, and Carson McGill as assistant. That unit used our most technical equipment, and required electrical power. Aaron from Galilea served as our physical therapist, and was very popular Missionaries Kevin Bruce and Andy Shaub performed intake duties, while Kathy Bruce served as translator for Awa speakers. 

All of these people worked very hard every day, as did the medical providers (Kim, myself, Dana and Leah), translators (Shelia, Kathy, Joe, Impact group), helpers (Charlie, Carson, Rory), and pharmacy (Jess, Corey). The team worked very well together, and demonstrated a strong Christian witness. The 75 people served that day in Lita were very grateful. 

That afternoon the team travelled for three hours back to Otavalo, where we each appreciated getting a hot shower. That evening, before and after our regular evening devotion time on the roof of Dona Esther, we unpacked and repacked in preparation for the journey to the Intag Cloud Forest on Thursday. 

With dependence on His love and mercy every day, 

Dr. Tim and Dr. Kim
