We were in the Kudvumisa Clinic today which is lovely and very practical. We ended up having a very busy day with a lot of different illnesses. We also were able to see some kids from a children’s home for orphans. It was started several years back and have raised 8 children. They came […]
Today was another good day. We saw about 180 patients. What I learned today I learned 2 people on the team know sign language. I learned this because we had a wonderful patient with a great smile. She had 4 children her husband had died and she has HIV and TB. And to top it […]
We are here in Swazi and doing well. First Day First day of clinic was busy with most of the team being new to our clinic system. The day went smoothly except for me misreading the time and being an hour ahead all day?! What Stands Out The story the struck me was from […]
I have a lot of thoughts about Kenya this past week. The people we met and the promises we made. The things God showed us and the ways He answered prayer. I thought you would be interested to hear some of the ways God worked. First, due to some generous donations we were able to […]
Today was the last day of clinic for our 2019 Kenya medical mission trip. Today we saw some wonderful elder community members. One particular woman was bent in half at the hips and using a cane to walk. After Dr. David examines her he found a large amount of water on her knee. She also […]
This is my first trip with CMO and it is an experience that can scarcely be described. I’m going to try, with just one example of the kind of ways God uses the team to minister across the world. Today began with a mother at the front of the line who said her baby was […]
Our week verse is Micah 6:8. Pastor Gregg is taking us through it and ended our devotion with a statement by Rabbis. The point of it was yes there is suffering. We have not been called to fix all of it but we have been called to work on some. Work in justice, be merciful […]
Day 1 was great. It started off calm which then brought some storms. Thankfully we got the clinic set up and running and had a relatively calm morning. We had some new examiners so we were having them settle in. But after lunch the rains and the issues started. We have quite a bit of […]
Our team arrived after nearly 30 hours of travel to the same hospitality we’ve come to know from our Kenyan hosts. After collecting our luggage – and we cannot overstate the importance of this: all our luggage arrived with us – we were taken to our accommodations for the night. It was 12:30 AM when […]
Dr. Lara Yoblonski shares her stories from Kenya. Cheerful Special Home Today was a bit different. Instead of doing clinic we went on home visits to provide medical care and food. In the afternoon we went to a school/orphanage for special needs children. The school struck a special chord with me because I’m a Pediatrician. […]
