4-29-2010 Medical Clinic Treats Bodies and Souls

The Petionville Club Medical Clinic continues to treat people for "free of charge" all hours of the day and night thanks to Luidgi Larco (center white shirt standing) and his staff of nurses and medical students. Although there are several other clinics operating in this tent community of nearly 50,000 people, the other clinics, staffed mostly by internationals are only open during daylight hours. Luidgi's clinic is staffed by Haitians and occasional volunteer internationals such as those pictured above from a recent "One Hope" response team. Throughout the night they are available to handle injuries from fights, domestic violence, burns, and accidents.

Along with treating bodies, the tent clinic has recently begun to conduct weekly small group Bible Studies led by Haitian "One Hope" partners Moise Medor and Petit Bossimus. (lower left and right) Regular attenders include staff members of the clinic and other new Christians who have accepted Christ since the earthquake. Petit and Moise are currently working through the book of John and discussing the Word of God in French verse by verse along with answering many practical questions instructing young babes in Christ how to turn away from old life styles of immorality. God is doing a wonderful work in and through this small group of new believers at the Petionville Club!
