We
never cease thanking God for it has been His will that we serve
Him in this ministry for another year. We give testimony that
God's love and mercy is upon our clinic.
MEDICAL REPORT
2004-2005
By Dr. Chino Lopez
The following is a report
of activities for Emmanuel Medical Clinic for the period of September
2004 through August 2005. We thank the Lord for His protection
and provision throughout this time. He has been faithful and we
had neither causalities nor major complications through this whole
time. We had the opportunity to show our community the Love of
God in a tangible way providing medical care and giving people
comfort and the relief of physical pains according to our God
given abilities.
For all this we Give God the glory.
528 Doctor visits were made by children
and staff from Emmanuel Ministries. In most of these visits
90% of the medication was provided through Dr. Lopez' contacts
in the different Medicine Labs.
1179 Doctor visits by people in
the community
141 Doctor visits (gratis) by people
in the community who were in financial need. Their medication
was provided as well.
44 Babies
86 Surgeries
Socorro
Gutierrez, Angel's wife had gallbladder surgery and even though
her healing was long and painful we thank God she recuperated
and is now well. We thank brothers Jack Reese, Butch Hemstraa
and Paul Davis who helped Angel with the costs of this surgery.
Miriam Santillan, Sole's helper had
a beautiful baby boy Giovanni who was born in our clinic. Miriam
was thankful for all the love she received through this service.
Miguel Martinez and Manuel Martinez,
two children from the Home, were circumcised and received some
very much needed relief. Also, Erick Pina had a growth removed
from his ear that was obstructing his hearing. All these children
received love and attention though our medical staff and there
are healthier now thanks to Dr. Lopez and Emmanuel Clinic.
God is awesome and He takes care of
His children. In
the past years we accepted four girls who are deaf into the ministry,
Karen Juarez, Coral Montoya, at the Home, Yuriet Perez from our
Church family, and Perla Lopez from La Victoria in the South.
We kept asking the Lord what He was wanting for us to do with
these situations. Finally His answer came. Thanks to brother Gorge
Geno, we were connected to Dr. Melissa who is a hearing specialist.
She came and tested the girls, fitted their ears and donated hearing
aids and batteries for a whole year, Praise the Lord. These girls
are now experiencing new things, they are hearing sounds, repeating
words, progressing in school and doing wonderful. Thank you brother
George Geno and Dr. Melissa.
We
had the opportunity to do a Medical Missionary Trip to La Victoria
Coahuila in the south of Mexico. We saw 158 patients and distributed
medicine to everyone who needed it. You can read all about it
in Missions and Outreach, it was a blessing and a privilege to
show the people in the south God's love in tangible ways. I want
to thank Colonel Doner, Children Hunger Relief Fund and Giving
Hands for your monthly support that make all these trips possible.
Dr. Robert Bliss, chiropractor, from
Christ Church of North Bay in California came three times during
the year and gave chiropractic care to all our children, staff,
and people in the community. He has been a blessing to all of
us and has started to build a reputation that as soon as he lands
he has up to 200 patients waiting to see him during his visit.
We are grateful for his desire to come and serve our people through
his gifting.
May the Lord bless him and prosper
him. Each trip he takes care of his own expenses and gives all
his service for free. On top, he is sharing our dream of building
on to the clinic a chiropractic wing and he is getting some positive
response. We are excited to see what God has for us in the coming
years in regards to this area.
Brothers, we want to thank you for your faithful
love, prayers, and support "The one who calls you is faithful
and he will do it!" Thessalonlans 5:24
