Lynda Audia teaching students nutrition how diseases and health problems can be prevented or reduced with eating healthy diet, including complications resulting from malnutrition.
Most all of our students have said that they want to use their skills and knowledge gained through the Barefoot Doctor program to augment their ministries and to spread the gospel of Christ. In this picture, Dr. Bruce Gross talked about how to combine their medical skills with the sharing of their faith in a kind, loving, and caring way that brings Glory to God.
Compassion and empathy are key in every patient encounter. Dr. Gross also talked about praying for the patient, praying with the patient, and sharing God’s plan of salvation. Matthew 25:13-40 “I was sick and you looked after me” “Whatever you did to the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me,” was the scripture he used to remind the students that God passionately loves each person they will attend to as a Barefoot Doctor.
Dr. Gross encouraged the students to allow the Holy Spirit to direct every patient encounter and to be a vessel of God. He is from Salida, Colorado, United States.

This is Samuela, one of our Barefoot Doctor students. He is from the Lahu tribe in Myanmar. His father is a pastor but he made bad decisions as a teenager. He started using drugs and alcohol and was addicted to both. One day God used a bad accident to change his life. He fully surrendered his heart to the Lord and then went to Bible School. Here he is giving his testimony to the students as Dr. Parker starts her lecture on Drug Abuse. His testimony was very impactful to the rest of the students and to me.
