Compassion Cordova Medical Trip (October 10-17)

Our Medical Mission Team will be traveling to the village of Cordova Peru this Friday to host a medical clinic.  The dates for the clinic are October 13th and 14th.  The clinic will be used to encourage the folks in the village to have regular check-ups and to educate concerning personal health.  Upper respiratory infections are among the main causes of illness and even death in Cordova.  While the medical center is supplied with medication to treat such illness, many of the villagers cannot afford treatment and some simply neglect it.  Dr. Larry Butler and Julie Lasslo will be working alongside the national medics already working in Cordova to perform basic check-ups.  The rest of the team will be working to share the gospel with those who are waiting to be seen by the medical team.  They will also be inviting each person to attend a Bible Study that will be held each evening of the trip.  Pray for this trip, as we seek to establish more of a redemptive presence in the village.  Pray that God will use the evangelism efforts of the trip to save many in the village. Also, pray for Pastor Jeremy as he meets with the new believers in the Cordova and encourages them to share the gospel with the rest of the village.
