Plans

Yesterday, we had some time to get to know the city. We ate lunch at a place near the place we're staying in Heliopolis, bought a few items at the grocery store and spent the rest of the afternoon and evening in downtown Cairo. A few of us walked down to the Nile from our restaurant before meeting up with the rest of our team. It was quite the journey, but well worth it.

Today, we will meet as a team for some training before we do our first medical clinic this afternoon. This clinic will be near a Coptic church in the garbage area of town. Please pray that the people there will not only get a physical need met, but a spiritual need as well. Pray that they would see something different in our lives and want to know about the Truth. Thank you all for your prayers so far. We are all doing pretty well and adjusting to the time and culture. This city and these people are wonderful. Among the traffic and buildings and foreign language and cab rides and everything else, there is this sense that God has something big planned. Big plans for a big city. He loves His people and longs for them to love Him. We are thankful we get to be a part of that.
