Medical Mission To Malawi Underway

Forgive the delay in updating the blog. I have had my share of internet snafus in the last three days.

After more than 40 hours of international travel, our team finally arrived in Malawi, Africa on Tuesday, April 28th. Upon arrival we were greeted with an immediate answer to prayer: the arrival of all our luggage and medical supplies. In addition we were greeted by Bishop Love Kaphesi and Professor Yohane Kaphesi. Both men represent the heart and soul of Finish Line Ministries Africa. They are great brothers in the Lord and it was a joy to see them again.

Today we traveled to the village of Meja to launch our first medical clinic of the week. The travel entailed tricky mountain roadways, river valley flatlands, and dry and dusty dirt trails. Upon arrival, the pastor of the Meja church raised his hands and clinched his fist in celebration. At that moment, it was confirmed in my heart that the Lord was going to change lives in Meja today.  

Heat and humidity ruled the day, but did not affect the determination of our doctors, nurses, and ministry team.  Nor did it deter those waiting all day in line (90 degree heat)for the chance to be seen by a doctor.  Medical stations within the clinic included triage, exam, first aid, and pharmacy.  All told, our team was able to provide care for more than 150 men, women, and children today.  In addition our outreach services  and the Jesus Film Project saw more than 65 people surrender their lives to Jesus Christ and pray to receive Him as Savior.  What a powerful start to the week!



Tomorrow we will return to Meja for day 2 of our ministry there.  We anticipate seeing 200+ patients tomorrow.  Pray for strength, stamina, health, healing and hearts that are open to the Gospel.

I look forward to sharing more with you in days to come.
