Barefoot Doctor Invited to Teach at a Medical Conference in Myanmar

Jung Dangshing, Executive Director of Frontier Labourers for Christ, shared the following news this week:

This year FLC was given an opportunity for a Barefoot Doctor to participate at a conference at Hiangzing Church, near Kalay City, Myanmar, put on by the Siyin Baptist Association by teaching a couple of health lessons. Here is a photo of the conference presenters.

The conference was held March 11th-15th, 2019. Mai Lal Em Par, one of our Barefoot Doctors, volunteered as the CHE facilitator sponsored by David Crist, our long time friend and CHE facilitator at the Barefoot Doctors School.

 

This was the first time that the school received such a request and we are very blessed and proud to send Em Par as a representative for the Barefoot Doctors School.

This final picture shows EmPar meeting with patients.

Thank you for your prayers for the Barefoot Doctors.

Barefoot Doctors Arrive in Tachileik

This is to let you know that the barefoot doctors arrived safely in Tachileik with all their medical supplies. 
The students from the Rachine and Kachin States fly out from Tachileik today March 5th to their next destinations and the rest tomorrow. 

They have been away from home for more than 7 weeks now, and they are so eager to get home to be reunited with their families. 

Please keep them in your prayers continually for safe journey, good health, their families, and their work. Thank you again for your support.

Here are some pictures shared from their trip north from Chiang Mai.

Thank you for your prayers.

Barefoot Doctors Head Home!

The trip home has begun.  It's a 5 or 6 hour drive to Mae Sai where the students will cross the border back into Myanmar.  From there, they will go many directions to get back to their families and their various ministries.

Please keep them all in your prayers.

Final days of Medical Training

As I write this early Friday morning, the medical training at the Kalnin Learning Center has just concluded.  The students had lunch with Dr. Bjorn, Dr. Bruce, and Dr. Susan and then had to say their goodbyes.

Here are a few more teaching moments on the last two days of training.

Dr. Susan teaching how to splint an ankle (above) and reviewing common palpable pulse sites from upper extremities.  This is important to check after placing a splint on an injured limb.

Pictures of medications the students received.

Thank you for your support,
