Fishing for the Lost

Today we drove to the Puri region of Orissa (near Konark) to a new fishing village location for us called Chandra Bhaga situated on the coast where all five teams spread out through this active vibrant village and setup our clinics. We saw some of the most dire medical cases that we have experienced so far on this trip and people with the greatest health & personal needs overall. Days like this make us feel both rewarded and insignificant. While there were a number of short term needs that we meet, we had a sense that these villagers did not have access to even "less than" adequate care.

We were excited to learn that there was a church in this village (one of the teams used their facility as a clinic location) and that it had been in existence for 30 years. We pray that our medical work with this village exalted the name of Jesus and gave the local ministry a springboard for further outreach.
