Wednesday – Day 3

Today we were in Triniteria.

Today had a different feel to it than the previous two days. On Monday, we were forced to run a short clinic so we didn’t see as many people as we’d like to. On Tuesday, we were trying to make up for Monday’s short day by working extremely hard on very little sleep. And then came today; Wednesday.

I had spoken to several people on my team on separate occasions about the lack of a spiritual attitude in our clinic. Sure we were seeing more people than we had planned on and that was great, but were we pushing back darkness?

So today, now that we are somewhat rested, and our numbers were back on track, we wanted to slow down our pace and pray for the people we treated. We made it a point to pray for every patient that we saw. Patients were prayed for by the doctor, nurse, translator, pharmacist, and eye tech’s. We wanted to push back darkness with the Light of Christ. And the strangest thing happened…

Philippians 1 is correct when it says that multiple people laboring diligently in the gospel begin to work in a unity of mind and spirit that is supernatural. Our team grew today. We didn’t grow in number, we grew in depth. When we wanted to focus on praying over our patients, it was truly for their good – not ours. However, Philippians 1 IS true! As we prayed and labored in our clinic today, we began to form and mesh into not a team of 20 individuals but to one team with one mind, one spirit, and one purpose: showing and proclaiming the gospel to those in need.

I am stoked to see what God allows us to be a part of tomorrow!
