Thank you all!

Barefoot Doctors Class 2010
Well we made it home safe and sound. Although, i am still recovering from Jet lag.

To the left is the Barefoot Doctors at church, notice the feet. To the right is me (Rick) with the homemade crutches.

This may be the last entry for awhile. I wanted to get a few more pictures on and also thank all of you for your support. There are few other opportunities in the world where you can make such a profound difference with so little of an investment. The Barefoot Doctors program already has the volunteers to go do the really hard work. The Barefoot Doctors have accepted the challenge to be the Hands and Feet of God. They go where outsiders are not allowed. They can save a life with the knowledge and training we give them and a few pennies worth of medication! All of us that support this program in one way or another are directly responsible for helping to save lives! And in areas very few can go. I feel personally blessed and honored to be able to be a part of this miraculous project.

I also want to point out that this would not be possible without many others all around the world helping in various ways. This was not accomplished by one person but by a team. It was the whole “body” that enabled the Barefoot Doctors to do their part as the hands and feet. They are the feet in walking where others cannot and they are the hands in the medical care they give. They offer spiritual healing and guidance as well as physical. Many of you have contributed prayer, money, medical equipment, your valuable time, and your expertise. It was a team that completed this mission under the direction of God's plan. There were far too many “coincidences” that happened all throughout this program that turned out to be critical for its success. There is no doubt in my mind that this was God's hand at work guiding this project along. All He asked from us was to be available to answer his call. For some of us this was more intimidating than for others because of the level of involvement asked. The amazing part is that every one who gives to this gets so much more back in return. The rewards are in things much more valuable than material objects. The benefit of the patients the Barefoot doctors will see may be their very life!

Until next year.
Thank you and may God Bless you all!
Rick
