Our ministry was super slow this morning due to a Catholic church fiesta being held today, so we prayed and sang and walked around town talking with different groups about the clinics and the church we were working with. By 11 am we had quite a crowd of interested and hurting people. One man in particular comes to mind. His daughter had heard of our presence, so came to the clinic to ask about her father who was bedridden at home due to a paralyzing injury twenty years earlier. We sent a few people with her to the home and checked him out, prayed with him and presented the gospel to him via the Evangicube. In the end, with tears in his eyes, he accepted Christ. In the afternoon we sent the pastor with another delegation to him, this time with medicines for a few medical problems but also with a device called the Proclaimer that has the New Testament on cassette. It is solar powered and requires no batteries or other power for operation. He cannot read due to the accident´s effect on his vision, so this aural Bible will be a real blessing. The pastor will continue visiting him to help him grow in his faith.
By the end of the day we had seen many patients with the usual variety of physical complaints, all of whom also received the touch of the Gospel message in the counseling and prayer. The day has been an emotional roller coaster with the spiritual warfare of the morning.
We are all functioning well together as a team. The relations with the non-Bay Area people has been a tremendous blessing as we have been mutually encouraging to one another. (Steve Belton)
