UPDATE FROM THE FIELD

Jacob & Laura Bacon, Ivory Coast

We prayed for favor, for God to move among the people of Koffi Kro, a village that has never allowed anyone to tell about Christ or had a medical team bring care. When our group arrived for the first medical day, we walked down the dirt path to the Chief’s house where he was sitting out front, and greeted each other. He seemed to be somewhat nervous about the medical clinic we were holding nearby, possibly wondering if he was right to let us come. Not long after we began seeing patients, however, the Chief himself came to be seen for medical care. That day he watched as we cared for his villagers, how we treated the sick and washed their wounds, and how we spoke of the hope that Jesus gives.
