Finally Back Home

It was a long two weeks but I'm back home safe and sound (and parasite free) from my trip to Cartagena. Thank you all for your prayers; you joined thousands of Christians from around the world praying for the success of the event, and God was faithful to answer. The event was a success, hundreds of thousands of people were trained in healthy living, received their free deworming medicine, and medical and evangelistic literature. I will post the exact numbers as soon as the reports are finished.

From Deworming Cam...

Pictured above is a bottle of the Albendazole pills and a sample of the educational literature that were distributed on Saturday across Cartagena. The whole experience was a great learning opportunity for me and it definitely stretched my Spanish skills as I not only had to train thousands of people, but I also had to participate in being interviewed about 12 times including several live radio interviews.

One of the highlights of the whole experience was that our CDA School was the site designated for the official opening of the event, attended by the Mayor, and the key leaders from the various public offices as well as a variety of local and national media news organizations (press, radio, and tv).
