  • FORTH DAY!!!

    We woke up to the same early rhythm, but this morning carried a different weight—our last full day of clinic. Karen and Jeff led devotions from Psalm 88:18, reminding us to ask God to walk with us so that we would not fear, because the Lord is with us in every step and conversation. With that promise on our hearts, we headed out at 9:00 a.m. to a new mission area for one final day of serving. Our new location, Ministerio Internacional Jesucristo Viene Ya, a Pentecostal church, welcomed us with open arms and a pastor who was genuinely joyful to provide a place where we could care for his community. All day long people streamed in—by the time we packed up, we had served 155 people there, and Natalie had helped 54 children find the glasses they needed. When we totaled the week’s numbers, the reality sank in: God had allowed us to serve 542 people in all. Our hosts and helpers were incredible, working tirelessly beside us, and our gratitude for them runs deep. As we said our goodbyes, we circled up in prayer, parting ways with hugs and tears flowing, knowing this chapter was closing but the impact would continue. Back at home base we shared dinner together, then ended the night with devotions and planning. Arlo shared from Galatians 3:28, centering us on the truth that we belong first and fully to Jesus Christ—and, in Him, we belong to one another. Before heading to bed, we quietly sang “Jesus Loves Me,” a simple song that suddenly felt like a benediction over all we had seen and done. As always, God bless!
