Dr. Prajene has given me permission to build clinics wherever I want and as many as I feel necessary.
Today the Thai government through the chief Physician approved our work in BYT! Today we were not only approved to build a clinic in BYT, but recognized, appreciated and needed! This day God’s glorious name has been glorified, in a godless country and in heathen villages. It is His work, He is in control and He is seeing that it goes forward.
Dr. Prajene, chief Physician and Medical Director of our province visited BYT with 10 of his staff. They set up a clinic at the school. I was able to work side by side with him and also provide some medical equipment that was needed throughout the day. He visited our house at the end of the day and was pleased with all the medicine and supplies we had on hand. He told me that he is so happy that I am actually living with these people and treating them medically. I have permission to build clinics wherever I want and as many as I feel necessary. He has supplied me with some medicine and will continue to do that. He also invited me to come to his hospital in Omkoi and work in any area if I need more local medical training. They have guest rooms that I could stay in free of charge. I will work out my schedule to spend some time working in labor and delivery, for sure, and also with him in the outpatient department.
I must tell you that this doctor is dedicated, kind and caring. He always works with a smile. You can tell that he loves these Karen people and their dirty babies. Their poverty and poor hygiene do not cause him to lose his patience or treat them unkindly. He is so happy to meet their needs. He often visits other villages around the Omkoi area, sometimes even going in the evening, so he can see the people who return from their work with the rice. However, he does not get time to travel as far as BYT and surrounding villages. His wife is just a friendly and happy as he is. They make a lovely team. She is the charge nurse for Omkoi hospital. She told me she would send hospital volunteers out to help me if I needed it and gave me her phone number and email address.
I am simply amazed as I see God’s power and ability to “Do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think!”
