This is
the part of the Bible Worker team. God was continually with this
group as they befriended the people and spread His love and truth
to people's homes.
The
Bible Workers went into the village every day, where they presented
Bible studies and invited people to the evening meetings. Many
times one of the participants was asked to present the Bible study
only minutes before the visitation! But God always gave them the
words to say.
As the
Bible workers presented the Bible studies, parents, children, and
neighbors would cluster together to listen to the special truths of the Bible.
This
happy little girl is sitting in the doorway of her house, listening
to a Bible study, and clutching a
craft that she made at the children's evening meetings. It was a
very special thing to her.
The
medical missionary team went into the town every day to check on people's health
in the community. They began by doing blood
pressure screenings. This opened the way to help people with their
other health needs. They cleaned and bandaged open wounds, and treated
fevers, stomach aches, and infected eyes. They also distributed supplies
to those in need so that they could
continue their treatments.
As
the medical missionaries did their work in the village, many people and
children would crowd around and stare at them. We could
all count on children following us around everywhere we went.
It
made us sad to realize that we couldn't cure every ailment we saw. We
were amazed at some of the health problems these people live with
because they don't have money to see a doctor.
