Quito Medical Team Day 2

We returned today to the same church we were on Tuesday,  Iglesia Luz del Norte.  When we arrived we had patients waiting in line for us.  I was so proud of the way our mission team worked together to see so many people today.  Our final count was over 400.  So far in two days we have seen over 700 people.

One highlight of the day was accompanying Dr Butcher to a home of one of the members of the church.  This lady (Gladys) has an adult son who is crippled and homebound.  It was a blessing to see Dr. Butcher treat him and then I was able to pray for the family.

Another highlight was accompanying Dr Stewart and our excellent translator Abner Monterosso as we got to visit the local hospital (clinic) sponsored by the christian radio station HCJB.   We were able to meet with one of the doctors and have a long conversation about their ministry.  We were then given a tour of the facilities.  They were open to our request for allowing patients that we see to come over to their clinic for additional medical services, ie, xrays, tests. etc.  I am so amazed at how God continues to open additional doors of ministry for our teams year by year.

We are enthusiastic about our plan tomorrow as we are to travel 2 hours north of Quito to the town of Cayambe.   We anticipate a large group of folks waiting for us as we arrive in the morning.
Thanks to all of you who continue to pray for the team.
