ChristWalk recap

Hi Folks,
I am taking a second of your time to express our gratitude for the hard work that the ChristWalk Church Team displayed during their very successful "Vision Team" clinic, during the week of June 25th.
Puertano's (residents of Puerto Cabezas) were treated to a standard of care and service that is NEVER seen here on the Atlantic Coast. Dr (and Pastor) Jim's team were thoroughly professional, and caring beyond belief in the manner in which they interacted with my precious Miskito people. The smiles on peoples faces were the only payment received by Pastor Jim's wonderful team!
Despite the hard work which the team endured, they STILL found time to minister to the Spiritual needs of our little community as well.
On Thursday night, the entire team was able to attend services and speak to the host church, The Iglesia de Dios Central, with Pastor Adrian Lacaya. One by one, the team stood up and explained why they felt called to serve our Miskito brethren. As each of the six took their turn, we received a different insight into the call of the missionary heart.
On Saturday, Pastor Javardo Jones preached a sermon at the San Judas Iglesia de Dios which was right on target. I had several people come up to me the next day to remark upon how needed that message was. Pastor Jim Chamberlain was able to get a few words in at the end of the night and impressed everyone with his testimony of how a "little Kentucky boy from nowhere" was blessed by God to become not only a Doctor, but a Pastor too. His testimony clearly hit the mark with our brothers at the church.
On Sunday the entire team was able to make it to the Iglesia de Dios, Nuevo Jerusalen for a morning of prayer and preaching. Pastor Javardo Jones once again filled our minds and hearts with Spiritual food. The altar call brought EVERY SINGLE PERSON in attendance forward to be ministered to. What an astounding service. I wish each of you could have been there. The Sunday evening service was conducted by both Pastor Jones, and Pastor Chamberlain at the Iglesia de Dios Central. They really work well together, their friendship is evident in their partnership in ministry.
During the clinic, as each person passed from the last phase of the site they passed into the more than capable hands of Pastor Javardo Jones...who prayed, loudly and faithfully, and with the expectation of answers...for each and every person the clinic saw on Saturday. What an awesome experience that was! We were busy taking care of patients, but the occasional shout of JOY, could be heard throughout the day. What a powerful tool of ministry that was!
Even though the team was working long hours, they found time to conduct an interview with the Nuevo Diario newspaper (the link: http://impreso.elnuevodiario.com.ni/2008/07/02/departamentales/79875 ), be interviewed on Channel 5 television and conduct an entire 40 minutes of radio sermon...all of THIS, on top of the clinic, and the preaching in various churches.
The team left Puerto, tired, and happy on Monday morning. Praise God that they came, and our prayers will see them safely return to Puerto Cabezas in October.
