Meat, Medicine and Message - beggar friends


Dear Friends,
On 3rd December, we had Feeding the Poor for our beggar friends. Menu- Vegetable rice, chicken curry (for the first time), sweet and water. They are so happy to see us again. Previously, we used to give them food once in a month. But now, we are providing food 3 to 4 times every month. Thank you Impact and all the friends that are supporting us so faithfully.

This time, we did Mobile Medical Clinic for the first time to our beggar friends from 2 p.m to 6:30p.m. We had Plenty of Medicine, one Doctor and 2 nursing staff to assist us apart from our team.The Clinic went on like this, First we asked them to line up, then to the Doctor, then Medicine, after wards it is the food and then message was preached and prayed for every individual. Some places, it is preaching first, then medicine and Message.

They are so surprised to see a Doctor coming and standing in front of them. They could not believe that Medicine was for free. Almost all of them are sick with fever, T.B, diarrhea, vomiting, arthritis, Vitamin deficiency, Mal-nutrition and so on and on. We are surprised to see lots of infants for the first time, babies from 2 weeks to 1 year, we've come across more than 50. They brought them to us may be because of the Doctor. They never heard of vaccination.
We gave enough Medicine to all.

Totally we treated 126 patients and gave food to all. Still so many are waiting and standing, but we have to leave because it became dark and it is not safe to stay after wards.

What a joy it is always to help our friends. Many are saying that they are praying regularly.

We are doing whatever we can with what ever we have. Thank you friends once again for being with us and supporting us.
