LORRAINE KOEHN
Our first week we spent in Nai Soi administering medical care to 167 people. We saw people of all ages; from 6 months to 80. Only one woman was 80 and she still climbed the mountains.
The next week we traveled 5 hours to a small village called Hoy Sai where there were 128 people in need of medical care. We saw hypertension, diabetes, colds/allergies, skin conditions, UTI’s, stomach problems, backaches and arthritis. The team encircled the people before we left, praying for wellness and protection for them all. It was an unbelievable moment with God.
Our last clinic was ministering to the “Sewer People”. These people had built their ‘homes’ on stilts over the raw sewage that flowed 8 inches beneath them. The smell was unbearable, yet they had nowhere else to live. We set up our medical clinic in a church that was comparable to our storage units. We saw as many people as we could in 7 hours.
The 2 weeks were full of laughter and tears, time with God praying over people and watching God at work everywhere. For me, it was a time of drawing closer to my Creator and renewing my faith.
