Screening

This is a difficult post to write because all it brings are tears to my eyes and ache to my heart. Today, was our major screening here in Freetown, Sierra Leone. It started early for most of us as we arrived at the stadium to set up for hundreds of people already waiting in the line. We saw people for the first part of the morning to schedule for surgery. However, the crowds got out of hand by mid-day and the crew had to pull out and return to the ship. Our hearts are heavy tonight for many reasons. We are trusting that Lord holds us in His sovereignty. Please pray that the crew and the people of Sierra Leone- that our faith will not fail, but be strengthen by each passing moment.
