A Deeper Look into the Sites (part three)

SOCIAL WORK (El Callejon) - Melanie




Working at the Social Work site in El Callejon was such a pleasure.  I got to work there for the second year in a row, and I got to continue relationships with my site leader, Daisy, and all the girls in the community.  At this site, we share the gospel through displaying love to the women and girls of the community, sharing devotionals, and doing crafts.

SPECIAL EDUCATION - Rebecca and Zack


God works in the most amazing ways.  Where fear resonated, God jumped in and brought comfort.  Where anxious thoughts tried to attack, total peace was blanketed over us.  We in the special needs site discovered this.  We got to play with kids who simply wanted a smile; we got to read to kids who just wanted to be spoken to.  God delivered more than we all thought possible!

MEDICAL SITE - Laila



What can I say?  The medical site is incredible.  Going back for a second time just adds to the experience; it's as if I never left.  Yesterday we got to be at a clinic that we set up at someone's house.  While we wait for patients, Fernando and Rachel (site leaders) always play worship music, using their guitar and flute.  Every day, so far, we have been privileged to work with exquisite doctors and talk to and take care of wonderful people.

PHYSICAL THERAPY SITE - Tristan and Chase


Physical Therapy was a great eye-opening experience.  We got to see some amazing things that we will never forget.  We worked with patients that had serious issues.  God works through our site leader every day, which brings more and more people closer to God.  We got to go to a nursing home and work with elderly people, and they impacted us incredibly.  They loved to give hugs and just talk to us, even though we couldn't understand what they were saying.
