Medical, dental, and eyeglass clinics enable us to share the Gospel with many people who might never come to a church or evangelistic rally. Indian people have little access to medicines and no funds to find transportation to a hospital. As we take medicines to the villages, the people come, desperate for physical healing. Their traditional medicines of herbs and leaves often work, but their application of "sacred" cow dung to wounds and infections does NOT work.
As we administer medicines, it gives us a chance to tell them about the Great Physician, who can heal their spiritual wounds and give Eternal Life. Many times the peoples' needs are more than we can help, or even beyond human help. As we pray for them, they see the power of Christ to heal their diseases, give them the children they desire, as well as meet the deepest desire of all people - to know the One True God.
