REport

No pictures today, other than the clinic staff, most of the rest of the staff are off until January 2nd.  That allows for catching up on a lot of office things, and planning.  

One thing I didn't anticipate was the report coming from Jose Luis in the clinic, "EVANGELISTIC REPORT" from his work as the spiritual emphasis coordinator in the clinic.  

I'll spare you the cool details, but the church next door (ICCC TGU) is now actively helping Jose Luis, and just from patients coming into the clinic, we are up to six different cell groups, and 11 of those attending those in-home meetings are now attending the church.  Pretty cool.

I've also been working on a sheet of tasks to be done here on the campus, mostly for Jeffry and Jorge to coordinate.  There are at least 17 items...not counting some that will have to wait for groups to be here to help.  And not counting another eight that Eduardo from the clinic will coordinate.  

Plenty to do!  Plus...on the 25th walking the campus, trying to pray and take some hard looks at different things, to think outside the box...we might have some possibilities for building the clinic ambulatory surgical wing...with moving the containers elsewhere on campus (but for good, not temporarily) where they can still be used.  (this could be much cheaper for construction...and still allow us to build at least two floors.  

Plus before leaving to visit her family in Amapala, Maria left me the list for food needs for the Milk Project for January, and the list of anticipated clothing and toy needs for Children's Day and Christmas 2026, so I have some work there as well.  

Daunting was probably the word I would have used yesterday.  But...in the highs and lows, knowing...really knowing...God is in control helps lows from getting too low, and ego from going to high.  Did I mention 17 groups also?  Three road work projects?  Projections/talks for the next Milk Project location?  A new clinic medical student scholarship?  

It is daunting in one sense, but today I am just pumped to see what God is going to do, and how He is going to keep it all going, and all of us going.  Because I am here to tell you...I can feel, people are praying, because there are times when it should be crushingly overwhelming, and it can be...but it never is fully, and for that reason. 

So, send a prayer or two up for His Eyes...for decisions, for planning, for faith, for strength, and in gratitude for all He has done, does, and will do!  Amén y amén!
