Medical outreach and chicken coops

Medical Outreach in Ntchisi with Berean Baptist Church
The queue of patients

My mom with part of her team of childrens workers

As I mentioned in my last blog, while my parents were here, a team arrived from Berean Baptist Church in MN to do work alongside World Relief here in Malawi. They had kids programs, a medical clinic, counseling, and one day my parents helped big a chicken coop. One to house a chicken business for a local church. Unfortunately, I don't have pictures of that. But my parents both came home very dirty from digging.
Mike and I were each able to spend a day with the medical outreach. It's always good to get out of Lilongwe and into the village. Ntchisi, the town where we were working, is beautifully located in central Malawi, among hills (or small mountains depending on how you look at it). We joined 2 doctors from the states and 2 clinical officers from Malawi to bring medical care to the area. We worked out of the church and had the support of the church and counselours to help assist with emotional, spiritual, and psychosocial issues as well.

It was a good experience for all of us--especially my parents who hadn't had the chance to experience "village" life a bit. We are thankful for the partnership with Berean and World Relief.
