Medical clinic


The church that the Germain's attend was having a free medical clinic on the first floor of their building this week. They needed volunteers to come and pray for the sick, so we decided to take the older kids and go help out. When we arrived there was less than 50 people that had come to be seen by the doctor. We prayed for a few people and then started helping everyone get more organized. It was only the 2nd time they had done a medical clinic and were still in the learning phase of how to make it run smoothly. Steve helped direct people to where they needed to go and Joe set up another spot to take blood pressure since there was only one person taking BP and alot more people were showing up. Ann Marie and Ethan as well as some of the other kids got involved in praying for the sick and sharing the Gospel with colored bracelets. Ethan said once he got used to talking with people it was actually alot of fun and he was disappointed when the bracelets were gone! Over 150 people were signed in to see the doctors by the time we finished and they had to stop there otherwise the doctors would have been there all night.

There is such a need to just know primary health care to be able to help out with simple medical needs.
