Children's Lifeline

Will we have electricity? What about clean water? Is there a shower? Where will we sleep? Can we wash our clothes?

These were things many of the team members were concerned with when planning to come on this mission trip. How would it compare to being at home? The answer to all of these questions is yes. The mission house has most modern amenities...minus just a few luxuries (air conditioning) staying here at the Lifeline mission house is much like being at home! We have learned that all of these things we were all so concerned with really don't matter at all. We have yet for one moment to ever feel unsafe or unwelcome. The truth is.... we are so appreciated and so welcome here you can almost feel guilty for never having been here before.

Today we visited two different schools and treated 180 children.  This is just a fraction of the people here who need our care - but maybe, we have touched at least one life and made a difference.  Mary Jane led the devotions this morning at the prayer rock and spoke of ordinary people doing extraordinary things through Christ -  well we are here through Christ and for Christ and we are receiving  a much larger blessing than we are giving. What an extraordinary experience!
