Partnering with local healthcare workers and churches in medically underserved countries, Odessa, Texas-based Mercy Trips Healthcare Outreach provides free medical clinics and surgical care as an outreach of Christian love for our fellow man.Prologue/January 11, 2010
The 2010 journey to Uganda is about to begin. With 28 team members there will be more patients seen than on any previous trips. Of course the more patients the more medicine and surgical supplies are needed. Mercy Trips has been blessed with many donations including those raised at our annual New Year’s Eve gala.
The task at hand may seem a little overwhelming but God has prepared the way for the team. The clinic sites have been chosen, the patients needing surgery are being screened. Due to the short amount of time the team can spend in Uganda only a small number of people will be able to have surgery. Many of the patients have been waiting for the American doctors to arrive. A few things to pray for are…the team members as they finalize details before their departure on January 23rd, for Dr. Patrick and his wife Helen as they make preparations for the arrival of the team. Pray for safe travel, not only while on the airplane but also while they are in the country as they take vans to the hotel and the hospital and clinic sites each day.
Each day I will post an update of the daily happenings. Feel free to leave a comment if you would like and I will pass them on to Craig and he will then pass them on to team members. Thank you for all your prayers. May God bless.
