Into the Villages

All 8 groups have gone to the villages surrounding Ibele The groups left Ibele yesterday (Friday) morning and return on Monday. There is a stomach bug going around, and some of the kids also have malaria like symptoms. Five kids had to stay in Ibele to be cared for while the groups went to the villages. The kids that went to the villages will return to Ibele on Monday to finish their week in the area

Friday's weather was beautiful – until all groups arrived at their villages – then it started to rain. This was good as the Adams' needed water. We are thankful for a great AIDS seminar in Ibele. There are lots of people that have come to the village because of all the activities. These people are staying in the village for the week and waiting for the groups to return on Monday to see what other activities will happen. The health care is having a huge impact on the people. They are feeling loved and well taken care of. Dr. Miguel Lopez is having a great ministry through dentistry. He will return to Sentani on Tuesday. Ben Bogle is also having a great ministry through medicine. He will stay until the end of OE.
