Medical Team Day Two at Shai Hills Manya Village-1

Video clip: Day two is here! Day Two has arrived. We drove about 1 hour North to the Shai Hills Manya Village to set up the free outreach clinic where the Chief welcomed us and allowed us to used his own private home which was still in the building process. It was absolutely perfect for our needs.

The night before our arrival the Chief sounded the "gong-gong" drum to alert the village and the nearby town that we were coming. Both Muslims and Christians came to receive care. In the end we saw over two hundred people and each one was prayed for by our local New Life GO pastors!

I took notice of one man in particular,Muslim, 90 years old. To look at him was like getting a glimpse of the past...he was a tall, thin, and graceful individual, wearing a traditional woven cap and long tunic. He had a small limp and used his thin wooden staff to support himself as he gently ambled over to the chair. As Dr. Haithcock was interviewing him the man asked for the doctor to pray for him to which Dr. Haithcock replied "I will pray for you in the name of Christ, is that fine with you?" The gentle man said, "yes, please pray for me in Christ's name because I can see Christ in you...". What an opportunity...and there we were with opportunities all around us...brought to us by the sound of a "gong-gong" drum. Do you have these opportunites? Can you see them all around you? At the shopping mall...in your school...on your sports team...at work? They are there, open your eyes, your spiritual ones, and you will see.
