Youth Camp & Missions News

Dear Update Readers,

Youth camp begins tomorrow. Please pray for Bro. Stroup as he ministers to the young people and for Bro. Doug Derscheid as he leads the camp. Oh for an outpouring of the Spirit of God on these great young people.

Here, too, is a great note from Becky Keep in the Philippines.

Hi Bro.Parker,

Hello, This Is Becky here. Tim is still in Isabella
with the Team. I drove home last night over the
mountains with the kids. They have school today.

The medical mission was a smashing success. We treated
1266 people in three days. It was grueling and hard
but so much fun and so rewarding. We started here on
Campus on wed and along with 9 doctors from Manila we
treated over 400 in 5 hours. We were up and gone by
6am the next and traveled to Balaaban. We hiked in
there and that afternoon treated another 350. We left
there at 7am on Fri. and traveled to Umilog where we
hiked in and treated over 500. We had a Dentist a
surgeon two adult doctors, and four pediatricians. All
the nurses had tons to do and we even had to teach
some of the non- nurses on the team how to take B/p's
and give shots. Tim assisted the surgeon in removing
cysts and doing circumcisions. I took pictures knowing
that no one would ever believe it.AFter treatment we
had a prayer room where we had people to pray with the
patients about any needs that they had.

The team will be doing two more "nursing clinics" as
the docs had to go back to Manila. They'll be giving
out vitamins and de-worming medicines, taking b/p's
and treating minor illnesses and infections.

This was such an awesome experience and so needed!!! I
hope that we can do it every year.

I know that Tim will want to update you when he
returns.

Please pray for the team.I know that they are
exhausted!

Thanks and God Bless!
Becky
