Exciting things are happening with the Global Aid Network team in North Africa, as American volunteers perform medical and vision clinics for the public, demonstrating the love of Christ for them.
On Monday, April 30, the team reported that the vision clinic saw 45 people in under four hours. The medical team saw double that amount in the same timeframe. Staying busy throughout the day, three of the physicians volunteering with the team met with 15 local doctors and hospital staff discussing various treatments and western medical techniques. These same local medical personnel have volunteered to work side by side with the Global Aid Network team the remainder of the week.
On Tuesday, May 1, the pace stayed heavy with the vision clinic assisting 93 patients, and making 43 pairs of glasses in under four hours. And again, the medical team was inundated with people as over 200 patients came through in the same four hour time frame. The team leader reports, “The people are very friendly and appreciative. This outreach helped our friends here reach out to their friends and help them in tangible ways and offer hope to many!”
Please continue to pray for this dedicated team as they let the light of their faith shine bright through their actions and love towards the people.
