Tuesday surgeries.......

Another full day of surgeries and all continues to go well!

The three operating rooms have continued to go full blast performing hysterectomies, removing gall bladders, repairing hernias and other procedures that patients need. This is Barb and Karen from Columbia, MO leaving after their full day in the operating room. This is Barb's first time and Karen's fourth!

In the evening, many of the staff went from bed to bed sharing and praying with patients, giving Bibles and encouraging them to talk about their needs. This young guy, Melvin, was enjoying his Bible. He told me that he likes to read and he was excited to have one now!
Karen has been here four times and this is Tony's first time. They were talking to this patient about Jesus and later one of the men from the local congregation was going to follow-up with this patient. The patient expressed a desire to really change some things in his life and to know Jesus more. Isn't this something that we should all learn from?
Sherry takes a quick walk with this patient. She went from bed to bed walking patients tonight.
Seventeen surgeries were done today..........many people are feeling better physically but we also hope that some have been healed spiritually.
