The team split into two groups; six went to the AIDS/HIV Centre to assist with more work and the rest of the team stayed to host what turned out to be the largest immunization clinic of the trip – 183! In the afternoon, we all went back out to the Centre to write scripture verses in each of the rooms. Even though the writing will ultimately be covered with tile or paint, we wanted to bathe the center in prayer and praise.
On Thursday morning, we hosted our final medical camp. The unique feature was the rain! Brother Henry assured us that it is a very rare occurrence to have rain in the month of January, but rain it did. Also a first, Andrew was asked to autograph three cricket bats, even after assuring the local children that he was neither a cricket player nor a good baseball player
In several of our photos, as with these taken on Thursday during our final shopping excursion, you have undoubtedly noticed that the colors are remarkable and are in such contrast to the otherwise dusty and dirty living conditions.
We are within 24 hours of our departure from Chennai airport. Today, Friday, will be spent preparing to leave. We stretched out each day just about as long as possible without getting totally wiped out, but now the reality of departure is sinking in. Without a doubt, there will be some tears of sadness as we leave such dear friends and servants of the Lord here to carry on the Good Work in. Yet rest assured, we will be very glad to be home with you, our families and wonderful prayer support team.
