Day 4 - In Sickness and In Health...

Tuesday July 16 - Today, our team had the opportunity to visit the Integral Health Center CIS Flowers Bay, a clinic in Roatan. We toured the clinic and heard about how much the clinic has grown and has been able to help people in the area, to meet physical, medical, dental, laboratory, mental health and social service needs. It was a beautiful story of how the community came together to support the building up of the clinic into functioning condition, with the support raised by the nearby church, community and the mayor. 

Earlier in the morning, we made care packages with essentials like shampoo, conditioner, toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, wipes, and much more. One special moment was handing out these packages to the patients in the clinic. My mom, sister and I had a chance to connect with two girls waiting inside the clinic. One of the girls shared with us about her recent back pains which was impacting their daily functioning and shared with us her personal story. It was so heartwarming to pray with them, giving all their needs up to God and trusting in Him together. Praying for healing and praying for God’s blessing upon them. The locals’ openness and the connections we’ve built have been such an encouragement to me. - Abby
