One of the more important things that we are doing with our time here is teaching some of the Evangelist’s wives and also three men the proper use of medicine. We have taught this before as a way for Evangelists and their wives to be off help to people in the remote villages where they worked. The course is designed to not only use the medications properly but that it becomes one more way to influence people for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We insist that every patient is prayed over and ask God for healing. People are healed! It is a powerful witness because God honors those prayers. The medication we use are the same others use; medicine manufactured and bought in Nigeria. The main problem as we see it is that medications are not used properly. A lot of it sold to make money with little regard to dosage. If people want to buy three ampicillin capsules they sell people what they want, whether it is an injection or a drip even when that is not needed. Our goal is to help people in the name of Jesus but also to train people in the use of medications with the right diagnosis and the proper dosage. It is a first response measure using basic medications for common tropical diseases but they have the means to take blood pressures look into kids ears and check for upper repertory infections. Anything beyond that people need to go to the hospital. So far the people trained are doing good work. We thank God!
