The three guys plus S and his son Z left Monday morning for the 3 day hike. We hiked nearly 40 miles over some very steep terrain. Having Dr Aldrich along with us open many doors that have been closed to the Message before. When we came to the first village, we simply asked "is anyone among you sick?" The quick reply from one of the village leaders was "we are all sick". Then the man invited us in and we spent the next hour checking blood pressures and having Ryan visit with many folks who came to the house there. Word quickly spread that a Dr was in town and soon a crowd began to gather. This gave us a chance to pray for them and show God's love by showing concern for their physical and spiritual well being. For the next 3 days we made several stops and many contacts with people there.
Jasmine stayed behind and she and N had some wonderful visits with many of the local ladies.
Jasmine was allowed to share her testimony several times. She was well received by all those with whom she had a chance to share.
We will begin our journey home on Thursday and return to Shawnee by Friday night. Thanks so much to all who prayed for us. This truly was a blessing to share God's love in this spiritually dark place. Continue praying for the work here and especially for S & N and their family.
