Medical Team and Seeds for Swaziland Team Join Forces

Our medical team participated in it's first Luke Commission bush clinic on Monday and they were joined by members of the Seeds for Swaziland Team. Everyone had to get up very early on Monday morning so that they could drive to the upper north-east corner of Swaziland. The clinic was being held east of the city of Mhlume, near the boarder with Mozambique. (see map below)



On the drive from Manzini to the clinic site, the team saw gazelles and giraffe. As they pulled into their destination they were greeted with cheers and waves from more than 250 people who were waiting to be treated. In addition to providing medical care and distributing glasses and wheelchairs, the team also had the opportunity to pass out gift boxes to all the children. The boxes were part of the Operation Christmas Child program sponsored by Samaritan's purse (http://www.samaritanspurse.org/). As people waited to be seen in the clinic, they were able to view "The Passion of the Christ". Team member set up a viewing tent and were on hand to answer questions and pray with people.

Many lives were impacted through that clinic. How humbling it is to be the hands and feet of Jesus; addressing the spiritual and physicial needs of our brothers and sisters in Swaziland. Please continue to pray for the medical team as they will most likely be conducting clinics again today and on Friday of this week.
