Berean Baptist visit

We were blessed to have a medical team from Berean Baptist come to Malawi the first week of April. This is the 3rd year we have had the opportunity to minister alongside this group as they meet medical needs, train pastors, and provide individual and couple counseling in a district north of Lilongwe, called Ntchisi. We have become friends with the individuals who have come back to Malawi multiple times, and we will miss them as we prepare to leave Malawi in June. For those of you who haven't heard, we will be moving with our mission organization, HCJB Global, to work at a rural hospital in Ecuador. This transition will first take us to Costa Rica for language school and then on to Ecuador. I will write more about these changes as we get closer to the move, but for now we are focusing on our last few months in Malawi.

Here are a few pictures from the day I helped with the clinic in Ntchisi. We took over the local church building and myself and 2 other doctors from the states, alongside 2 Malawian clinical officers--helped care for the people in this village. We saw a variety of things from musculoskelatal pain and upper respiratory infections to a few children quite sick with malaria. We also offered HIV testing to patients and individual and couple counseling. It was a good day--and for me, it is always fun to get out of the city and see life in rural Malawi. It truly is a beautiful country.
