What Gifts Has God Given You?
October 25, 2022
I will never forget my first medical mission trip. Our team was serving at the United Methodist clinic in Rio Bravo, Mexico. The trip was wonderful. We served several hundred people who would likely not have received medical care without the help of the clinic. We witnessed many difficult things on this trip. Hard to imagine just how good our medical care is in the United States and how deficient it is in other places. We did our best to help. I witnessed hundreds of people leaving the clinic with smiles on their faces after receiving medicine, hope, and the loving care of each of our team members.
There were many times on that trip when I asked myself, “Why am I in Rio Bravo?” I would often focus on my inability to offer medical care. I’m not a doctor, nurse, or pharmacist…
