Wow. How time has flown these last few days. We arrived last (Wed) night in SiemReap after a 3-hr drive from Poipet. SiemReap attracts tourist from all over the world, and therefore I'm able to choose non-Asian food for the first time since arriving. Today we are turning into tourists for the rest of our time before heading to the airport Friday evening. I am heading to Angor Wat with the majority of the team. This is a HUUUUGE temple that was actually lost for centuries. I will post pictures to facebook when possible. Some of the team that have here before will take a
To backtrack once again, our clinic site on Tuesday was at Pastor Timothea’s church. This is the first established church in Cambodia founded in the 1920’s by CMA missionaries, the Ellison's. We see approximately 350 cases, and there were definitely some challenges. There are traumatic eye injuries, broken bones, large tumors, traumatic loss of hearing, long-term and severe/acute back/leg problems. One young man has all the signs of ligament tears (ACL/MCL) in his knee, but walks with a very unusual gait. We do what we can for all of these, and trust God will use the results of their experience here for their good and His glory. The prayer team reports restorations of hearing, healing of pain, and a number of salvations. As soon as possible, there will be links posted to a number of video testimonials.
After Tuesday's clinic, we travelled to the city of Poipet on the Thai border. This is an area devoid of morals and is quite dangerous due to drug trafficking and other similar evils. Our clinic Wednesday was at a nearby village. We saw another 350+ folks come through and praise God He is still working through us to minister to these very needy people. Due to the high number of mines in the local area, we see several dozen amputees including a former General of the Cambodian army that is now a local official. I will post more about the day when possible.
