I went to El Salvador for
two with weeks through Global Health Organization (GHO) which is
affiliated with Christian Medical and Dental Society (CMDS). Our
group consisted of 24 people from accross the States and Canada.
We had nurses (Katie, Maxine), a pharmacist (Darryl), medical
doctors (Bob, Don, Donna, Ross), students (Treena, Kristy, Andrew,
Rebecca, Nikki, Jenn, Samantha, Amy, Rachel, Sarah-Marie, Mike)
and people from other proffessions with hearts for medical
missions (Nancy, Jon, Jill, Pat, Damaris, Marcia).
Our time was
split in two communities in the vicinity of San Salvador, the
capital: Ilopanga the first week and Colonia Dolores the second
week. 2,866 patients were seen for general medicine, obstetrics/gynocology,
dental or opthalmology over the two weeks and a total of 3,457
prescriptions were filled. The Oasis Churches in San
Salvador provided us with translators and ran the logistics of the
medical clinic setup as well as evangelizing through music, drama,
testimonies, and Christian counselling. In two weeks, 366 patients
came to accept Jesus as their Saviour. The people on our team were
amazing and all of us will be forever affected by our time spent
in El Salvador. The passion for Christ that our El Salvadorian
brothers and sisters shared with us is hard to describe in words.
I miss El Salvador already and eagerly anticipate an opportunity
to return.
Dios te Bendiga!
