She puts the "compassion" in Caregiver

Laverne Watts

he
difficulty of having a baby born with cleft lip and palate. For years she longed to go on a medical mission trip to encourage parents in that same situation. This year she got her chance.
She took a little home-made book with pictures of her daughter from infancy up to adulthood. Not one to let Spanish defeat her, she visited each parent and child waiting for surgery. With pictures, gestures and a few translated words, she expressed her empathy and encouragement to the fearful families.
Hugs and tears verified that she was understood.

Tomas Finds His Tomorrow

Six thousand one, six thousand two, six thousand three...how far will you walk in search of your tomorrow? Tomas ran from his past, hid from today and drowned his sorrows in one bottle after another, but today he seeks his tomorrow. Step by step, trudging along more than a mile to the community of Chuchipaca to see if it was really true, could there be a medical clinic and a healer who might help him?
He finally arrived, waited his turn to see Dr. Lisa Dunham and told her of his search and of his problem. "I've been throwing up blood since I began drinking again, I want to stop, but the evil spirits talk me into drinking and sexual sin...I can't get away."
Tomas is almost completely deaf and Dr. Lisa struggles to hear him and to communicate clearly, but she treats his medical issues and tells him, "come back next week and I will have someone to help you."

I have some special pictures I want to share with you! In the picture to the right you see Noe Chan. He is a former ABC student, scholarship recipient and now our new Physical Therapy practitioner.
The little boy in the picture with Noe is Nicolas, an eight year old w
ho came down with Bell's Palsy this year after a bad dental infection.
Noe has developed a special wire to help the muscles of Nicolas' face to get them to return to their proper place while being stretched and exercised. We thank God for Noe and his skills to help little Nicolas.

Meet the MET Students
|
 |
|
Our Medical Evangelism Training interns arrived ready to soak up culture and learn about evangelism in the health care world. We have 12 students every year from different universities around the country come together and live with families in the two regions of Guatemala where Health Talents works. They recently finished a long weekend of missiology orientation time with Roger McCown and our Guatemala medical evangelism team at Clinica Ezell, and have since completed a week of language training Quetzaltenango.
They are a great bunch and we look forward to getting to know them better over the next four weeks.
They are: Jonathan Eledge, McKenzie Evans, Kimberly Hanners, Justin Hunn, Jessica Joy, Jonathan Miller, Morgan Parson, Miranda Prints, Ethan
Ricketson, Brittany Schaake, John Simmons and Kaitlin Uchida.
