Welcome Back Trinity Pres!

We were excited to welcome back Trinity Presbyterian Church from Tuscaloosa, AL.  It is always fun to have friends return for a visit.  This year they brought an energetic 14 people to host medical campaigns in our poorer neighborhoods.   This team worked tirelessly for 4 straight days.  We started in Parque Industrial and then held a clinic in our Arevelo church for 3 days.  It was a wonderful week of serving God's people through the mercy ministry of medicine.  Many people were introduced to the church and provided much needed medical help.  The physicians even made some house calls to house bound patients.  Finally, we were able to share the gospel through evangelism activities and visiting a school one day for an impromptu VBS.  Overall, it was a great week with our friends from Tuscaloosa and we look forward to their return next year!

Jose and Pastor Steve (who entertained our kids with balloon animals and hats such as this one!)

Me and Karla, the red-headed triage team (she was the nurse and I translated)

We even were able to administer breathing treatments in our make shift clinic.

And our pharmacy run by some friendly smiling faces!
