Back to the ministry marathon...We are going to be in 4 different mountain areas in 10 days.
First to Ha Rapase to a brand new area where we are checking it out for an airstrip and health post. It will be Sally and I, Brad and Angie, Christiaan Haak (MAF Pilot), Pastor Safiri, and three from the District Health Management Team. We will hold a pitso (gathering) to discuss it with the chiefs and community as well as hold a mobile medical clinic. Healing the body and soul will be our goal, as well as seeing if the land will be good enough for a future airstrip.
Next we will be flying to Matsaile Village Health Post where we will do our usual medical clinic, but this time we will have the opportunity to minister to people waiting to be seen by the doctor team. In addition to medicines, this time we will have reading glasses as Brad is coming with 27 dozen pairs!!! Obviously we won't use all of them in that village. That evening we will show the Jesus Film. It is the first time any film has been shown in this village. When I told people this last week, they were so excited about it. The next morning we will be doing training of Village Health Workers in how to use the HIV/AIDS Cube to teach about HIV prevention (see the Facebook video http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=101856129831097).
Next we will be driving to Mokhotlong District to meet up with the Flora family at the land that the chief has given them to build on. We will do a mobile medical clinic there as well show the Jesus film and do village health worker training. We will drive back to Maseru on Sunday.
Then Monday and Tuesday we will be at another of our health posts (Matekane) to do a similar program (clinic, Jesus film, training). There is a small group there that meets as a church (about 8 adults) and we will be there to encourage them as well.
Finally, Wednesday (27th) we will drive the Stoners back to Johannesburg so they can get their flight back to the USA. Sally and I will return to Maseru on the 28th.
Please pray with us for good weather in order to get in/out of the mountains; for the eyes of people to be open to the beauty of the gospel of Jesus Christ; for safety as we travel many miles by truck and small plane; for good health as we eat and sleep in the mountains; for joy in serving others for the sake of the gospel. We'll be sure to post things as we can to share with you the great and mighty things that God is going to do.
All for His glory...
