Mobile Medical Clinic

God showed His working in many ways yesterday during our trip to Pum Koh for a medical clinic. It workded best to do only a one day trip and not stay overnight.  Koh Kong hospital provided transportation—one of their ambulances. Three people from their staff went also, so we were a team of nine people. The mountain roads were rough. Motion sickness was an issue and we held on with both hands much of the way to stay in our seats. Hubert rode his motorcycle with one passenger. After three hours we arrived at the remote mountain town.

The room available for the clinic was occupied by lots of ants which we battled first and then set up tables for consultations and giving meds. Mr. L. preached at the beginning of the clinic in the morning and again in the afternoon. We provided care for 108 patients. Hubert and the four Christians from our church talked one-on-one with many waiting patients and families. Many people heard the gospel.
On the way back, about twenty minutes from the town where the clinic was held, we had to ford a wide river again. It was shallow because of dry season and rocky, but the far bank was steep and sandy. Our vehicle got stuck in the river trying to go up the bank. It took about 1 ½ hours to finally get out. Watching, we knew God would accomplish it but wondered how. We are grateful for the help of people from the town. We reached home at 7:15 pm. We continue to pray for God’s working in hearts of people who live in Pum Koh and in the hearts of the team who went up. May God be glorified.

“…Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?” John 11:40
