On my day of arrival, I walked and prayed the path that was mowed for payer walking and was greeted with a multitude of grasshoppers (like thousands) who parted the way as if confetti going before me (I was incredibly grateful they were moving away from me). It reminded me of the passages I read of the sea parting for Moses and oddly had a feeling of excitement of the upcoming week. Mission Report A report from Debbie Griffith’s recent time on mission working in the dental office at Chanku Waster A little back story would be I was well under attack in the upcoming months prior to this trip with “busyness”, “feelings” and “circumstances “ too much to go into other than to say my ladies' group was a large support in prayer for me and for encouragement to keep moving in the direction I knew I was to go. I am grateful I was able to redirect and set my eyes on our Lord and to complete the task I know He had for me to do. It was a great pleasure to serve. I was able to see kids at the camp, locals, and camp personnel. I had 24 patients, 11 were campers. Some of the campers remembered Franney (my stuffed animal assistant) and happily came in and grabbed her first thing. Most were not afraid like last year and were much calmer. Along with screenings, cleanings, X-rays and fluoride application, I was able to place 25 sealants which is a true blessing and will hopefully help prevent decay on those 25 teeth 😊 With my first patient of the week, I had issues with the computer and then had issues with remembering how to take the X-rays with their computer system. I was frustrated and took a minute and stopped to ask my small group to please pray that I would get it worked out and within one minute I was able to clearly remember the steps to do to take X-rays and when I turned the computer on the issue with the computer was cleared. Praise God because I actually said that and told her my people were praying and now, I could proceed because He answered our prayers. She followed up by asking me if that’s how prayer works. I said, “Yes sometimes it’s immediate and sometimes it takes longer, but we were blessed and were answered immediately.” She was very curious and said she had been reading her Bible. This conversation led to discussing God’s Word and how it is a Living Word. It was very cool.
Thank you for your prayers for my time on mission at Chanku Waste. Debbie Griffith
