They arrive early in the morning and while some are setting up, others are filling bags of beans and rice to give out to the families. Then the lines begin and they work all day long at that one church. In all, we visited 4 churches in 4 days.
This is an outreach to the people of that community. Some are members of the church we are visiting while others just live in the neighborhood. There are two evangelistic teams. One group goes out into the neighborhood and the other stays at the church. The first place the people in line go through is the evangelistic team where the gospel is presented.
From there they go th Triage where the determine the reason they are there. Some only come to see the doctors and others only for the dentist, or to see both.
While the parents are with the doctors, the children are taken aside to dance, hear the gospel, and play with the clowns, and of course, piñatas.
After they have seen the doctor or dentist, they go to the pharmacy where they collect their medicine. It´s a hard week, but worth every minute.
The last day is spent at the beach relaxing and saying good bye. We lookforward to seeing them again next January.
