Updates And A Bit More Randomness

Yesterday we all recieved the final data from our four days of clinics.  A basic rundown is as follows:

Patients Seen:  2057
Gospel Presentations: 1414
Professions of Faith:   482

Tom and Charles giving a pep talk to some of the young men
who will follow up with 221 "seekers" and the 482 people who professed
faith in Jesus Christ after hearing the gospel during our mission.
There were a total of 221 people that we determined were "Seekers."  Those are folks who expressed a strong interest.  These people, as well as all the people that made a profession of faith in Jesus Christ, will be followed up with by believers in their area.

Munna, shown here with Charles.  We were able to visit him
once in the hospital before we left Tezpur.  His diagnosis isn't
completely known at this point.

We also recieved an update on Munna, the young man whose knee we believed was infected and who our team arranged to have placed in a hospital.  It turns out that there is the possibility that it could be cancer.  A biopsy has been taken and we are awaiting results.  The fees for phase one of his treatment have been taken care of.  We'll find out more about additional costs once we know the diagnosis.  To read about the story of how God put Munna in our path, you can click here: Munna

And a bit of randomness I meant to include in my last post.  If you read my post called Echolocation, then you have a description of the hazards of travel on Indian roads and the use of sonar while driving.  The whole experience of traveling on Indian roadways caused us to chuckle at this sign in front of our hotel in Tezpur.
Right.  Like parking is the dangerous part of traveling in India.
