MWIMUTONI VILLAGE, KENYA 2009

In addition to the medical clinic, we hosted a Men’s Conference with 47 men in attendance. We shared about biblical leadership in the Home, Church and Community. There was a very positive response and lots of questions. The ladies hosted the first ever women’s team and served 37 women of the village. These women work hard and get very little respect so it was a privilege to be able to treat them to some special love.

We are planning to take a team for an eye clinic next year and we are excited about giving quality eye care to the village. Be in prayer as we plan for this trip. Thank you to all our supporters for your continued faithfulness.

A THOUGHT, A FEELING, AN ACTION IN PUNTA GORDA, BELIZE

First two teenagers went down a week early and totally gutted the OR. We then proceeded to completely remodel the Operating Room in the Punta Gorda Hospital. The faith on the part of the Dr. Marenco to let people whom he had never met before come and destroy his OR and then proceeded to completely rebuild it was truly an act of God. We went on to rewire the hospital, put new ceilings in and then rebuilt the delivery room. This was the first major project for HIS Servants Ministries.

Chiquimula, Guatemala March 2009

They came before sunrise over 1000 people came with a single desire, to see better. The people from Chiquimula, Guatemala filled the yard outside of the Clinic. The line was long and stayed long all day. Several people needed medical attention due to the heat and lack of facilities. The American Optometrist from Glasgow, Kentucky and students from Indiana University School of Optometry were on the front lines as they battled blindness and debilitating eye problems. The complaints ranged from blurred vision to life threatening tumors. Simple tasks such as being able to read or sew were made possible by the team from HIS Servants Ministries. The optometry students and Dr. George Rooney were sharing their faith in the best way possible. They were walking their talk. They left the comfort of their life in the US and provided care for those who could only pay with their heartfelt love for these missionaries.

Though Dr. Rooney speaks a little Spanish he always uses a translator when he is in Chiquimula. When it came time to be interviewed by the local television station about the eye care project not only was he fluent a Guatemalan physician expressed surprise at his local accent. His translator later asked him why he needed her since his Spanish was so good. After the interview it was very apparent why he needed a translator. God will get the message of Salvation out to everyone.
