Clinic in Ilparakuo


Over Ngong Hills and down into the Great Rift Valley we traveled. The road is like a long winding snake traveling through the dry rocky land. The clouds were still covering Ngong and the mist was thick as we traveled. Today was our first clinic and we were headed for the little village of Ilparakuo near Lake Magadi. Rain had come to the area and the acacia trees were green, although there was no grass below them.

After we arrived and had prayer with the lay workers we set up quickly in two different rooms and we were ready to begin. Medical/Wound Care treated about 170 people yesterday and Dental treated 39. It was a busy day and we had to turn many away at the end.

On the way home we stopped to give out water to those waiting for us by the side of the road (they knew we had extra, so had brought their containers to the road). We got back to the East Central Division Guesthouses just in time for supper! It was a great day - and everyone one seemed to enjoy themselves!

Monday we are heading out to the Kenya Marble Quarry area to do our second clinic. It will be a very busy day! Please ask God to give us the extra strength and health that we need to do what He has asked us to do!

Why not consider now joining us next time?

Appreciate all of you so much!
