HOPE!

We've made it to HOPE Clinic. Yesterday, we flew a pretty small plane the 1 1/2 hours and landed on a dirt airstrip! That was a first for me. We flew into N'Zerekore, a city of about a million people. They've just recently gotten 1 flight in and out per week.

They gave us a tour of the place, we had a great dinner with all of the staff last night, and today we start work in earnest.

Mark Fischer and I have elected to hang doors instead of do surgery! It was a tough decision, but one that I think will have the best outcome.

So far everyone is feeling well, but perhaps a bit tired. The dogs, chickens, and party-ers keep the night alive around here.

Thanks for the prayers....we have felt them and continue to covet them.

As I walked over to the compound this morning, dozens of the sick, halt, lame, desperate people were already lining up. Scenes remeniscent of the days when Jesus walked dusty roads.

Peace to all who are reading, and we'll keep posting as we go along.
