The team is physically exhausted but their spirits are strong. I don't know if you realize it but this mobile medical team is the first of its kind in Western Mundri County. Work has been done in East Mundri County but so many of the folks in the villages that we are visiting have never seen a doctor. By the end of the day the team will have seen over 750 patients.
For the family members that were left behind I encourage you to prepare yourself for the stories that will be communicated once the team returns. They have seen a depth of physical pain and suffering that will be difficult to put into words. The pictures and videos will help but they only go so far in helping each team member unpack all that is in their head. Be patient with them. The reality of life in Sudan has set in and the images are a lot to process.
We give all the glory to the Lord. He is writing a story with each of our lives. We give thanks for the goers as well as those that sent. It's all about Him!
God Bless,
Tripp Skipper
Mundri, Sudan

So glad to hear that all went so well, it would be nice to know how many people over the world has been praying for all of you. I know the exhaustion, I feel the pain, I see the people that waited that did not get to see the doctors, and I see the people that could not be helped. I always remember the guy beaten on the side of the road, the priest and the Levite prayed I am sure but one did something to help, you are those guys that put faith into action. May God receive all the glory for the things you have done. Love to all. HH See u in hours
