Working in Rural Medical Clinic in Tactic

We were given the opportunity to work in the new medical clinic built by Impact Ministries-just finished this year.  Interesting technology and much nicer than I expected.  Technology such as a computerized finger print register linked to a online medical file...because a large part of the population is illiterate, not knowing even the letters to spell their name.  However, the resources were basic and minimal.  Limited prescriptions to give and no lab testing or xray or further testing, just use your knowledge, skills, hands, and strength of the Lord.  This is the only medical clinic available in a large rural area, next closest is an hour away by vehicle (which majority of people don't have).  We found we were treating people with a hardworking ethic and high threshold of pain.  People endure in this society.  Perseverance in all things, because you have to-there isn't another option.  I definitely was able to put my physical therapy skills to use.  Treating and evaluating through an interpreter for all patients was new and challenging.  Strange that three exchanges between patient and interpreter with many words results in a three word answer back to me!   Also educating these people, relating to them, showing compassion for them and their situation, recognizing their pain-that it is real, and praying with some of them to emphasize that God is greater than any physical problem- He is greater and He is the Healer.  I realized after my four days in the clinic that God wants me to use my physical therapy skills to be more glorifying to Him.  I don't have a true picture of what that looks like, but I know that God has grown my heart to pray for my patients, and I imagine that I need to be bolder in my prayers and have no fear of man, and God will show me the way.
