Last year, our team had the pleasure of working with Dr Ebel Saavedra. As we were preparing this year, Dr Ebel was in a remote part of the Jungle working as a one women clinic and was not going to be able to join us. Just prior to our arrival, Dr Ebel was able to get some time off un expectantly. She decided to come and work with us and took a two hour horseback ride, a ferry across a large river, a car, a plane and then a 24 hour bus ride from Lima to Tacna; all in all, she travelled 48 hours "on a whim". We were thrilled when she showed up and the clinic was immediately blessed with her talent and local contacts for follow up patient care.
Then just as un expectantly, within two hours of the clinic opening, a women showed up for treatment and Dr Ebel began to sign out with joy. The woman was her maternal grandmother, whom she has not seen in 25 years! The last Dr Ebel knew, her grandmother was in Lima but it turns out she was in Tacna and just happened in to get some medical attention.
God is good!
And still more to follow...
Thank you for keeping us updated! Praying for all of you and praising God for all that He's doing through you.
