First Aid Ministry


Special thanks go out to those of you who donated money and First Aid supplies for the health of our students here at Idigima. To date, there have not been too many people in need of medical attention, but this girl made quite a few visits and even twice a day for cleaning and bandaging. Obviously, we used many large bandages on this one! She was riding on the back of a bicycle that didn’t quite make a peaceful descent of the mountain. We’ve also had a few boils and eye cysts.

Training the students to keep wounds washed, clean and free of flies is a big part of First Aid treatments. Although they are learning the importance of good hygiene and health issues in their school subjects, it often times results in academic regurgitation rather than lifestyle change. Hmmm, sometimes we treat our Bible study that way. I suppose that is something of what Jesus was talking about in Revelation 3:17-19.

In His grace and service,

Gary and Joanne Grenell

    Oh the things we take for granted like being taught by example our hygiene practices. Such a true parallel to our study of the Scriptures. Thanks for bringing that into focus for me!
