First Clinic Day - A Great Success!

We thank the Lord for giving us a wonderful first clinic day in Delhi. Dr. Satish Rao worked with local government leaders to plan for this medical mission camp based on last year's successful clinics conducted in the Rohini section of North Delhi. This year we worked with the Noble Human Welfare Organisation to conduct a combined clinic (all 5 teams together) in the Bansal Bhawan Community Hall. It was an exciting opportunity to minister to the neighborhood and build strong ties with local community leaders for future medical mission opportunities within the state of Delhi. We were also privileged to have a visit from the Industries Minister for the state of Delhi. Dr. Janet Merrill guided him on a tour of the clinic and hosted high level meetings to discuss future cooperative opportunities for medical missions in the area.

Before seeing the first patient each team prayed for God to do a mighty work today enabling each of us to show the love of our Lord, to enable His healing power to touch these wonderful people and most importantly to allow each of us to demonstrate His love for this community. Praise the Lord! We can report with great excitement that we saw every patient that came through the clinic door which totaled nearly 400 over a 5 1/2 hour span.

It was also a terrific opportunity for the new teams and team members to get to know one another. At the conclusion of the day the Noble organisation members gave our team a wonderful departure ceremony and each team member was given a gift.

Please be in prayer for us tomorrow as we travel from Delhi to Bhubaneswar, Orissa. We begin clinics in the Orissa area on Friday, January 5th.
