March trip 2015 - clinic day 3

     I’m at a loss for words today.  I don’t think any of my words can do the beauty experienced today any justice.  Brenda and I joined the medical team to run a clinic in Belot, an area at the very top of a mountain.  This area is all farm land right up the sides of the mountain.  There is nothing else there. 
     Pastor Reginald has been ministering to people there for 5 years, he really knows the people of the community.  He has worked with his own resources to build a small office and the foundation and walls of a church/school.  There are ragged tarps over a portion of the building that can’t withstand the wind and rain this area gets almost daily.  
     Medical care is almost non-existent.  They must travel a very long way, which means they don’t go unless absolutely unavoidable.  They have never had dental care or education. It shows.

     With all that lacks there, beauty remains.  Faith is evident.  God is moving.  My prayer for this community is that God’s word is spread all over that mountain!
