Today we visited the village of Los Montones. O.T and P.T set up a clinic in the church, while P.A attended to a few house calls in the surrounding area. The Briarwood Fellows went door to door sharing the gospel and evangelized to the children and patients of the clinic. O.T and P.T had a busy morning with patients that had various needs such as stroke rehabilitation, back pain, knee pain, and neck pain and we were able to minister to them both physically and spiritually. We were amazed that something as simple as joint mobilizations and exercises would make a patient stand up and immediately declare they felt better already. We are sure with continued exercises and prayer they will continue to improve. We were moved by the eagerness of the patients to share what Christ meant to them, even with a language barrier. Our translators helped us communicate, and we heard beautiful testimonies that renewed our passion and energy. The PA students began their day with Dr. George at a beautiful and colorful home seeing a stroke patient who was bedridden for 12 years. He and his wife were a Christian couple and allowed the team to pray with and over them. One of the PT providers who specializes in neuro rehab later visited the couple to provide more care. They moved on to the other homes and helped, prayed, and connected with multiple families while spreading the goodness of Jesus.
The Briarwood Fellows spent the morning going door to door evangelizing to different people in the village. We connected with one of the leaders of the church who sent us to the houses that he knew had at least one person in their home that was not a Christian. Even though none of our conversations led to an immediate conversion, we were encouraged by how easy it was to connect with the people that we evangelized to. Seeds were planted today, and we are full of hope and prayer that the gospel will impact the individuals we connected with. After door-to-door evangelism, we went out and played games with children and had an opportunity to share bible stories with at least 30 children. They were very engaged and at the end of our time, many prayed to receive Christ in their own life! Overall, today was an amazing day that impacted all of us just as much as we impacted the village.
