Each doctor station has a translator that helps explain diagnosis to the patient. All stations end their time with the patient with prayer.
We adore these children, it's a special opportunity to get to love on them.
In the clinic, we do a lot of HIV tests. After the test we always educate the patient about the disease and prevention.
Duck, Duck, Goose is a big hit for the kids! In the afternoons we have around 70 children come to play with us.
Here's the whole team on Prayer Mountain!
The team really enjoyed hearing the comments you left on our blog. Thank you for writing and encouraging us! We are all enjoying our service here and are experiencing God in new, powerful ways.
Firstly, the photographer(s) is(are) doing such a great job with capturing the wonderful moments. I enjoy viewing the images. I smile while viewing each image.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, I am amazed by the work you guys are doing... I love that you are ending each treatment with prayer. Continue to introduce and reinforce the power of God to the masses.
Finally, YAYAYAYAYAY... I got to see Tana... I love the hair wrap... :) Looks like you were enjoying Duck, Duck, Goose more than the kids... I am excited that I was able to see you enjoying yourself...
Love Dom
PS... the team looks great on Prayer Mountain... Will someone please ensure Tana gets to at least see a zebra. I am giving up on her riding one... Hahahahaha... I am still praying that you guys have a wonderful time and continue to have a great impact on this population.
Praying that God will continue to send many people who need care and to know of His love. What a blessing the pictures are to us back home. May God continue to reveal Himself to you throughout the week. Mathew 11:29

Mollyrose,
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I get to keep up with your trip through this blog. Tell your parents I said hello! This is such a great opportunity to help others and spread the word of God. Wishing you and the rest of the group a safe couple of weeks!
Love, Julie Chalk
Tamika,
ReplyDeleteGreat seeing you...even though its a side shot. It's amazing the work you guys are getting to do, and I pray that in the next few days you all get to see much much more people. I know if I were there I'd be consumed with duck duck goose... I love that game. I miss you, and I love you,
Rahn
Hey Kid,
ReplyDeleteWe love getting the updates and pics. Mom cries every time she looks at your pictures (which is about every 15 minutes of her waking hours). We are both so proud of you and the work of the entire group. It is way cool to see God's work in all that your group is accomplishing. You are familiar with Psalm 91:11, and it is giving us great comfort while you are on the other side of the world. L U & C U soon. Dad, Mom, and Sis.
P.S. The Cardinals still holding on to first place.
WOW again, love your photographs and stories. Y'all are so blessed to have Drs Milko and Keenan, as I hope you all know by now they are medical mission rock stars :)
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of rock stars I am sure you are all enjoying Garret and Micah too.
I am so enjoying this trip already (even though I'm not there) and so thrilled about all the hearts and souls you are touching. Keep up the good work and don't grow weary. Remember to see Jesus in the faces of your suffering patients; love them, remember them, take them home with you in your memories.
Hello again! Looking at all these pictures and reading about what you guys are doing each day brings back so many memories to me and makes me miss South Africa and the people there so much! Ericka, I hope that you are learning a lot, doing well, and making some great lasting memories and relationships with your team and the people of South Africa! I cannot wait to hear all about it- I miss you a lot, everytime I leave work I always want to call you like I always do in the afternoons - I quickly forget you are not here! Anyway, keep up the good work and remember the most important part of your trip is to let Jesus shine through!
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah,
ReplyDeleteMom and I are enjoying reading about all of the works your group is doing and looking at the pictures.
Love Mom and Dad
Ericka, the things you guys are doing are really amazing. Judging from the photos posted I'm sure this will be an unforgettable experience for everyone involved. Keep it up! I'm looking forward to seeing you and hearing all about it when you get home! - Trent
ReplyDeleteThanks for the updates and pictures! Garrett, thanks for the birthday call and flowers!! They are beautiful! I can't wait to see your face!!!!!
ReplyDeleteTamika- it's so great to see my friend in action as the hands and feet of God! Praying that many more people come your way this week...proud of you girl! Can't wait to hear all about it when you get back! Stay safe. Kristin :)
ReplyDeleteBrook and Shannon, there are so many praying for YOU AND the whole team! We are so excited to hear what God is doing in their lives AND YOURS! God bless you, so happy you could experience this together!
ReplyDeleteHello Anthony and Jessica-
ReplyDeleteToday is Thursday. I do hope you are enjoying your time in South Africa and enjoying the work you are doing. I have really enjoyed the pictures posted on the website. I finally see pictures with the two of you in them. I don't know if you see the photos that are posted, but I am particularly touched by the photo of the woman holding the little girl. In my opinion, it is worthy of a photojournalism award! I spoke with MAW and she said to tell you she loves you, she misses you, and be safe. Anthony, I spoke with Dale. He said he likes your song choice and will talk with you when you get home. Blessings to you both and your team.
Chat tomorrow!
Love, Mom
Tamika--great seeing what a great job the team is doing-nice photo of you working. Praying the trip is a blessing to those you are serving as well as to the team. Miss you and hope t see you soon.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless

Love, Love, Love the updates!! So awesome to see God's hands and feet at work. Praying for you all and so thankful for your compassion. May your light shine bright!! -Johnny & Ann
ReplyDeleteIt is so awesome to see the pictures coming back from you guys. You may never know the depth of your impact on these people, children, or this community. But know that it is HUGE!! God is working through each you mightily but He is also working in each of you in ways you might not recognize or understand yet. Make sure you are letting Him love you during this time too!
ReplyDeletePhil, we miss you at the Box, the WOD's just aren't the same with out you!
Dan, You are missed, and I know Mark Sean is lonely ;-)!
I'm so jealous! I would love to be there with you guys!
Everyone, know that you are covered in prayer, but more importantly by the blood of Christ. Walk confidently in that every moment! Thanks for keeping us updated here at home!!
Ericka.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are doing well. I see you in the picture abve and you look so happy. I never though you would be the happy one not having the comforts of home,but you fooled me. Let the love of Christ shine through you so all can see what believing in Christ can do for them. Keep up the good work over there and my God continue to bless all of you.
Love you,
Daddy
