1/2 Way Thru

Hello Everyone. Everything is going really well. We have just left from the church in Mathare Valley where we were having the free medical clinic. We had from 3 to 7 doctor's volunteering their time to help us. We saw around 1200 people. The missionaries wife said that she had never seen this many sick, 85% of the people seen were sick. A mother brought her 2 year old daughter in yesterday, they fastracked her thru the line to see the docs ASAP. The doctor diagnosed her as anemic, having malaria, de-hydrated, and pnuemonia. They started her on an IV, distributed anti-biotics, and gave her a mission note to allow her to go the hospital. We were told that if we had not been having the free medical clinic that mother would not have been able to have a doctor see her baby. The doctor said that the child would have died that night without help. T
If this was the only reason for this trip then that was worth it all to save a child's life.
We are on the way to Nakuru now.
The reason for no pics, slow internet, and not much time. Will post when able.
Keep the prayers coming.
Steph and Gabbi, I'll be home soon.
Thanks to all.
Daryl

Take Off!!

Hello Everybody,

A Big hello from Charlotte Douglas Airport in Charlotte, NC. The first leg of our trip on the way to Chicago. Three hours layover there and then onto Heathrow Airport in London. Fourteen layo ver there and then on Tuesday night at 8 PM we will board another flight for an eight hours flight into Nairobi Kenya. Please pray for a member of our group, her father lives in New York City and he was attacked on Sunday by a gang and set on fire. He is now in a coma and they are un-sure about the outcome right now. She is still going on this trip so please say a word of prayer for her father and for her. Pray for her peace of mind.
We made it through check in and security with no problems. No fun leaving Steph and Gabby Ray, but I know God will watch out over them while I am gone.

I'll post the next time I have wireless available.

Till next time,
daryl
