We arrived a few minutes early. Tables and chairs were already set up like we had asked. Crews of Thais and Americans from the Medical Team began setting up the pharmacy, filling bags with tracts, and setting up the tables for the doctors to examine patients. At first, the Thais were slow to come. However, Thais began coming once they found out about the Western Doctors and the free “colorful” medicine from America. It was a busy day with three doctors seeing 278 patients. Medicine was distributed for problems related to skin, muscle ache and diabetes. Since the clinic was held at an elementary school, a program for the children was held teaching them good dental hygiene, physical health and English.
Witnessing to patients resulted in 25 Thais expressing interest in God and 10 others saying they had accepted Christ as Savior. One of those saying he believed was a 72 year old Buddhist monk from a temple across the street from the school. However, only through follow-up will we know for sure whether or not the Thais that visited the clinic really believed. We have begun visiting those who received treatment at the clinic.
