Today we headed back to Malony to do our weekly satellite clinic. It had been two months since we have been able to go so I didn’t know what to expect. The whole place is brown and it’s a bit like a ghost town. During the rainy season, it serves as a cattle camp. When the dry season is here, the cows and their owners go to greener pastures. Because there is no way to tell the people we are coming, we just showed up. Normally we see between 70 and 100 patients, however, today we only saw 12. I don’t know if it’s because the cattle camps are gone or because people didn’t know we were coming. Since it was so slow, we had a lot of down time. I had a chance to discuss the idea of one wife with a group of guys. They thought the idea was ridiculous. One man offered his hand in marriage and I politely refused. Later I had the chance to share the gospel. A group of guys hang out under a big tree where we do the clinic so I thought, I might as well use the opportunity to encourage them. Slowly I have been reading through the Old Testament. Now I am in Judges and recently read about Gideon. It’s a really good story and one I thought they might like so I told them about it. I find that telling stories is a good way to reach the people here. Since it seems like their lives are a bit like it was back then, they can relate. I told them about Gideon and how he started with 32,000 people to fight the Mideonites, but God decreased the number to 300 so Israelites couldn’t claim credit for the win. In our weakness, He is strong. I told them through God we can overcome any obstacle. Although we had low numbers, it ended up being a great day. I’m sure next we’ll have more people next week once the word spreads we are back and I hope I’ll be able to share another story from the Bible.
