Thank you Team March!

What an amazing two days in Canaan!  We planned to see about 65 people over the course of the two day clinic; we saw 94!   What an awesome team of people this March team has been.  We continue to see God’s hand in designing these teams over and over.  Team March worked so well together to make this clinic happen.  We were also able to take 3 different girls from The Good Samaritan Girls home who have an interest in the medical field and give them the experience.   
Team March treated some things we see on a regular basis like scabies, high blood pressure, intestinal worms, etc.  We also had some bigger problems come to the clinic; a young man with an abscess, a young lady who after 6 months of pregnancy had to hear that her baby was no longer developing and viable, some with reoccurring problems that we see month after month due to circumstances.  There are no words to explain the importance, the need, and how much this clinic means to this community!  There are things that are so hard to see and hear and some things that truly lift spirits.  We are blessed to be able to give this service to the people in the Bethanie Canaan community!
In the clinic, we also had two team members praying with people.  God was working and moving in many hearts.  For some, peace and comfort was given through prayer.  With some of the team’s project money, bibles were purchased and were available for those that needed.  Bibles were left for Pastor Nathan to give to new Christians and new church members.  We also purchased a handful of song books for the church.   What a blessing this is to Pastor Nathan and his ministry!
Team March also raised money that helped finish some ongoing projects in Canaan.  The office/storage building now has exterior siding and the church was able to discard the dilapidated benches that were still being used when all other new benches were full because more new, sturdy benches were built!

Thank you Team March for your willing hearts and hands and for putting yourselves out there for the sake of others!

Team March is in Haiti this week to spend a few days at Freedom House Bethesda Girls Home working on projects, doing medical checks, teaching self-image and development, playing games and two days in Canaan running a medical clinic and doing some light construction.

Today was  a fun day at the Girls home giving the girls letters and gifts from their sponsors, making a craft, and writing letters back to their sponsors. 

Please pray for the week as this team serves!
