Last week we had a visit from Bethany Covenant Church in Berlin, CT.\u00a0 We have partnered with them before doing a medical caravan 2 years ago in Quevedo, Ecuador.\u00a0 Last week we partnered to do another caravan in Las Delicias which is about 30 minutes outside of Santo Domingo.\u00a0 It was in fact a triple partnership working with Iglesia Misionera de la Valle in Sangolgui as well as with a church plant they are working with in Las Delicias and Pastor Hugo and his family, Bethany Covenant and The clinic and project in Cayambe.\u00a0 The medical team saw around 111 patients in 2 days.\u00a0 This is an area with very minimal access to quality healthcare.\u00a0 Most of the adult patients, probably 90% had high blood pressure, two patients, high enough to send to the hospital.\u00a0 With no ambulances or emergency medicine (we were in the middle of a plantain plantation) it complicated matters.\u00a0 Annalea (our nurse working with the Santiago Partnership) and I (Kim) also got lost on the 2nd morning of the caravan.\u00a0 We took a wrong turn and were an hour late for the start of the caravan!\u00a0 We got lost in a plantain plantation!\u00a0 That was a first!<\/p>\n

We had a pediatrician and psychiatrist with us who were able to care for patients in different ways than a lot of our caravans usually can.\u00a0 We were so thankful that both were busy almost the whole time.\u00a0 Other team members were doing VBS and crafts as well as a pilate\/yoga class and educational classes as well.\u00a0 There were many working parts to this team and they embodied what 1 Corinthians 12 and Ephesians with many parts but one body all working together.<\/p>\n

The theme T shirt for this team was “love needs no translation”.\u00a0 They lived this out in each interaction they had with each other and with those they served.<\/p>\n

Thank you so much Bethany Covenant for allowing us to partner in your ministry and service and for allowing God to use you.\u00a0 Thank you also for your support and encouragement of our family as well as The Santiago Partnership!\u00a0 We can’t thank you enough!<\/p>\n
