Barangay Punta Tay-tay
When we went out to our site today and saw the long lines waiting for us to arrive and set up the clinics Brother Arnel (from Hawaii) said: “Brother, What an awesome God we serve!” People walked from miles around to get to be seen by our team members.
You all must be praying for this team to be fired up because they sure have been. On our fourth site (Barangay Punta Tay-tay) which means end of the bridge. Over 700 people were treated and over 460 accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
The Team has been pushing the envelope to the max. The dental team even got some of the pastors to pull teeth. Amazing! The dental treated over 160 people averaging two to three teeth extractions per person. That’s a lot of teeth pulled in one day. If you want to know the total, we have served over 2200 people so far and have three sites to go.
We have seen many miracles take place. It is great to serve the God of mercy and grace. There was a woman who had a hip problem and the team prayed for her and the pain went away. She was pain free as she left to go home and show her family. In the Evangelism room there was a woman with cramp like pain and she asked if I would pray for her because she had cancer. I prayed over her and her pain recited on the spot.

One of the biggest miracles we saw was that many of our team members had to leave and catch their flights back home and we saw those 700 people before it was time for us to return to our hotel. God is showing us that He is bigger than any mountain or a shortage of people.

God has also stretched the medicines for the past four sites. We only need to purchase a few meds at a time to supplement our supply. We praise God that there are sponsors that have donated financially so that we can purchase more meds as needed. Please continue to pray for more strength. The heat is getting to some of the team members, but no one wants to stay back.
You can really see God calling on this team and this mission. Because everyone is assisting everyone in every area of need. We truly have became one united body working in Christ Jesus. This is exactly what God wants...
