Well my friends today was the first official day of the clinic. As we woke up to prepare we saw a line had already formed by the gate with people eager to get treatment. After a hearty meal, we all began setting up our stations, from registration to the prayer tent everything started to come together. Once the gates opened people began filing in quickly, and our team was just as quick in getting them processed. As they waited under the canopy we had several speakers set up where they could listen to gospel music, as well as hear preaching from some of the Teen Challenge members. We also had Vacation Bible School set up for the kids so that they could color, do crafts, and of course learn about God as they waited for their parents. One thing that was new to M.A.S.H. and has so far been an incredible hit is the sno-cone stand, where patients and M.A.S.H. workers alike can come get cool and refreshed. The continued to go well as our team and the local team worked in perfect sync together getting people cared for and truly personifying what it means to be a servant of God.
As the day wore on and the crowd began to thin out we all got together for a brief meeting to discuss the day’s events and to see if there was room for improvement. We agreed that although there is always room for improvement overall things had gone outstanding we had served a total of 213 patients, with about 130 of them going to medical and 83 seeing dental. We were also informed by the prayer tent that 15 had given their lives to Christ. It was indeed a good day but now its time for some well deserved food and fellowship to close the day out.
