We have enjoyed sharing our knowledge with the Elim Students in the Community Health Tract. It is clear that there are many people around the world with limited or no access to medical care. But so much of health is so basic that having such trained people in a deprived area could literally save lives. Starting with a hish school education I see these future missionaries being able to render first line care and saving lives with sound advice and treatment. In the past, some have gone on to become nurses and doctors, as God has called them.
We have done some lectures about common health problems. We have shown some videos. But most importantly they are shadowing us and then learning to take a history and do an examination, identify the problem and then work toward a solution. Next weekend we travel to El Mosco where our mountain base for outreach is located.

Classes are held in the Clinic Commodore.

Saul and Lorena, key workers in the Clinic.

Students do the initial intake on the patients in the Clinic.
Next weekend the students will have the opportunity to shadow, to check in patients, to distribute medicines, and to do children’s ministry in the mountains.
