Bangui Surgical Team Returns Stateside

The Bangui Surgical team is enroute to the US after a very successful week of intense surgery and medical consultations. They were able to perform 50 major surgical procedures as well as treat close to 300 medical patients in a very short period of time. In spite of 7 team members falling ill to what appeared to have been a combination of jet lag, heat exhaustion, and a viral illness, MUCH was accomplished.

On a spiritual level, lives were impacted by a compassionate group of short term missionaries through their medical expertise and compassion. Thanks to a successful surgery done by the team on a village chief, a new ministry recently established among a least reached people group was reinforced. The team was later invited to his village for a time of celebration. Thanks to all for praying. Much more to follow - In HIM, Mike Taylor
