Day 203: Provision

For a few weeks now, I had been growing anxious as our humanitarian assistance (HA) supplies were starting to dwindle. I had noticed that the mail runs, for weeks, had been without boxes labeled "Community Clinic". The medics and I had been working so hard sending loads of e-mail and snail mail in hopes of finding fellow Americans who could help. Perhaps it was the economy, or the boxes were lost in the mail, or the mere fact that no one really cared. I even wondered if maybe God was trying to divert my energy to other things. The situation was rather discouraging until....


... the mail run became a complete opposite of the theme from the last several months. In the midst of a drought came a flood of overwhelming support for our clinic as a result of our Christmas letter writing campaign. Almost 800 pounds worth of donations in one mail run! What an answer to prayer.


The sudden influx of supplies allowed us to have a successful humanitarian clinic as over 60 patients were able to be cared for this week. I just wanted to say thank you to the many families and organizations who have continued to make our clinic a success.

"...the Lord will provide, as it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it will be provided." Genesis 22:14 NASB
