Taking Advantage of the Opportunities…
If there is one thing that has been evident on this trip - and I’ve mentioned it before - it is that God has been opening every door for us. From miracles at customs, to vital in-country contacts, to the patients that our doctors have seen, we’ve been jumping through those doors just as quickly as we can.
I’m not a doctor, but my lack of medical expertise has not stopped me from seeing the blessing that our medical staff has been to these Iraqi refugees. They’ve seen a multitude of illnesses, from the chronic to the acute, and prescribed dozens of medications (and donated thousands of dollars worth to vital local ministries!).
But I think the most important thing they have done is to pray for each patient. These men and women need so much more than medication; they need the healing and the peace of the Great Physician, and we have prayed for each one, child and adult alike. Their smiles and tears have made sure we know that our work is not in vain.
And we have pictures!

Lori is not just a nurse, but a friend to all she comes in contact with.
