Wednesday

It's been a good day here in the DR. Breakfast early and then a time of devotion and prayer in groups of three. We then packed up bags for the maternity ward and sick children's ward. We went to the public hospital where people go who cannot afford anything else. they don't have sheets/towels or anything like that unless they bring it with them. We gave out probably around 40 bags to new mothers. we prayed over babies and mommies. I prayed with a young lady whose baby died. Please pray with me for Marleny. She was heartbroken and in a ward with probably 7 ladies who had their babies with them. The moms keep the babies in their bed, there are no baby beds. All were very appreciative of the gifts. We witnessed to soem through interpreters and we left gospel tracts in Spanish with all of them. Some took gifts to the sick children's ward as well as baloons which they loved.

We went to visit an orphanage that is ready to house 16 boys when they get house parents to take care of them.

Not much time for blogging or facebook, sorry. I have to take my computer and go to the lobby for internet.

Looking forward to Dana leading worship again tonight and Ellen Vaughn speaking again. God is blessing. Thank you for your prayers.
