Here is his report.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Hi All,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">On Wednesday I had the great privilege of working with one of our recently graduated Barefoot Doctors. I have had a hand in teaching Simon in the program for the last 3 years. He was an excellent student. He lives in Tachileik, Burma, but grew up in a village about an hour away, up in the mountains. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">To get to his village, we drove for about 30 minutes in a truck to a small village. There, about 6 villagers met us with small motorcycles and we went the rest of the way to the village on scooters. I met Simon’s mother, his uncle, cousins, aunts ... </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The houses were very rustic, to say the least. The men in the village were out in the fields tending to the crops. The ladies were busy sewing some of the native costumes that they wear for celebrations. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">First things first – sit and drink tea with the locals. Then after a while we started the clinic. It was great to watch Simon examine the patients. I felt like a proud father, whose son was taking over the family business and working just like his dad. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We broke for dinner at noon. Simon then cleaned teeth with his Barefoot Doctor scaler machine for a couple of hours. As you see in the video, there were the pig feeding troughs, the pigs, piglets, the chickens, and then Simon scaling teeth. You can’t make this stuff up! It is definitely a laid-back farming community. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The ladies continued to sew and make panels for the roof out of thatch. Pigs, piglets, rosters, chickens, and chicklets ran freely. We visited the church, which was in very poor repair. We discussed ideas to completely rebuild the church. We talked about their poor water supply. The needs were many. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I was both sad and amazed. Sad that the people were living in such poverty. I was amazed that these same people were cheerful and greeted us with superb hospitality and gave us a meal out of their limited food reserves. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I need time to process and pray after this village experience. Lord, what is the best way to help this village? The needs are so great. They don’t need or want a hand out. They need education, healthcare, and partners in projects. Water projects, building projects, farming projects, and animal husbandry. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Please join me in that prayer.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">They were shipped to Timothy's house in order to save transporting them from Chiang Mai on their day of travel. Others were shipped to Abraham's house in Taunggyi for the graduates who passed through there on their way home.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here are a few pictures of those who received their machines at Timothy's house.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">These much needed machines will be put to use right away. Dr. Eddy says they will make the Barefoot Doctors the most popular person in their village! </span><br />

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px;">
<span style="line-height: 21.6px;">I just attended the graduation cer</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">e</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">mo</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">ny</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;"> for the 2020 Barefoot Doctor class. </span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">Wow! What a time of celebration. The students have worked so hard and accomplished so much. I’m very proud of them.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px;">
<span style="line-height: 21.6px;">The students came in their native dress. So colorful and unique, each having pride in their heritage. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px;">
<span style="line-height: 21.6px;">The ceremony conferred the Barefoot Doctor degree upon them, but more importantly, </span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">it </span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">authenticated their training and empowered them to go back to their villages with confidence and expectation.</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;"> Their training will open up doors to villages where the gospel is not </span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">otherwise </span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">welcomed by the village leaders.</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px;">
<span style="line-height: 21.6px;">As I watch the students celebrating and taking pictures (endlessly), I think of the dichotomy. They look so beautiful, colorfully dressed, almost uppity by Burmese standards, but in 1 week they will all have returned to their villages, wearing regular tattered clothing, limited </span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">availability of food</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">, terrible mattresses, limited water supply, outhouses, …</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">…..</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">you get the picture.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px;">
<span style="line-height: 21.6px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px;">
<span style="line-height: 21.6px;">And yet, they are happy, joyful, </span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">and </span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">enthusiastic</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">. “Things</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">” </span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">don’t matter to them. T</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">hey</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;"> </span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">have their newly acquired skills, along with a passion for the lost. That combination, makes them a </span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">dynamo, a spiritual force that will take the fight to the devil as they pierce the darkness with the Light of the Word.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px;">
<span style="line-height: 21.6px;">The Barefoot Doctor anchor scripture is Luke 9:6, </span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">“</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">They began going throughout the villages preaching the gospel and healing everywhere”. These young men and women are the closest thing to the New Testament apostles that you will find, given the charge to go out, minister to the sick, and preach the gospel. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px;">
<span style="line-height: 21.6px;">I</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;"> can hardly wait to hear the stories that come out their ministry in the days ahead. I anticipate stories of healing (both with medication and with the laying on of hands), stories of villagers coming to Christ, and stories of revival in villages. </span></div>

<span style="line-height: 21.6px;">On a personal note, God has challenged me in my personal walk with Him. I have heard the Holy Spirit clearly say, “Bruce, you can do better”. The students have been an inspiration to me and are truly </span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">genuine believers with a servant’s heart. My prayer is, “Lord, make me more like the students”.</span></div>

I think you'll find them interesting and informative.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">David writes...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As some of you know, this is my first mission trip experience to a faraway place like Thailand. It’s only taken 62 years to finally commit to doing something like this! But who’s counting? It certainly helped that I was able to arrange my formal retirement from General Dynamics Corporation to coincide with the departure date for this trip. GD was very accommodating, and that made it possible for me to travel on the same New Hope Christian Church itinerary as Pastor Jon and Dan Higgins. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I must say the opportunity to come and support the Barefoot Doctors Program has been a superb way to begin the transition from working in the Aerospace and Defense industry for more than 38 years to living life as a retiree. Among the things my wife, Jill, and I hope to do now is to give back a portion of our time and talent to those in need. I’m grateful to actually be on the ground lending support where I can.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I would be remiss if I didn’t mention we are also expecting our first grandchild in early March, shortly after we return home. (It’s a girl!) The graduation timing for the 2020 Barefoot Doctors class on February 28th matches up nicely with getting us home before her anticipated arrival. God’s timing is perfect and our whole family is excited about the new addition. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So far, the agenda here has been full, with training and other activities going on constantly. With three (3) meals a day and snacks in between, there’s also been a lot of really good eating occurring. Jon of course met the students on his previous mission trip back in 2018 and knows the faculty and staff quite well after the number of years he’s been involved with the mission. Dan and I, on the other hand, are meeting most for the first time with the exception of Timothy whom we met in Virginia a few years ago during one of his visits. The staff, doctors and nurse trainers have been very welcoming.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> As mentioned in an earlier posting, I’ve been privileged to lead a couple of devotional times for the students following the dinner hour and will offer another this evening as well. Timothy and Abraham are fantastic interpreters.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Dan and I finished the bench project this morning and will be engaging in other high priority maintenance projects starting tomorrow. Jon and I played volleyball with some of the students a few days ago. I quickly realized I’m not 25 years old anymore and therefore didn’t contribute much to my team.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It’s evident from the unity and teamwork all around the mission that God is blessing the program. Again, it’s a privilege to be here and to observe what’s going on first hand. The training being provided exceeds my expectations a lot. I’m confident they’ll make a huge impact (both physically and spiritually) to those they will serve back in their Burmese villages when they return next week. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The students are each receiving white vests on Friday to signify that they are Barefoot Doctors. The vests were made by women at the New Hope church in Virginia. We had to guess on the sizes, so the students tried them on yesterday to see which vest fits each of them the best. Then the vests will be put on them during the ceremony when they receive their certificates.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">On Tuesday evening, there was another sign that graduation is drawing near. It was an exchange of gifts and good wishes between the students and Dr. Bruce Gross, Dr. Susan Parker, and Nurse Betty Reid-White.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The students presented gifts to these three instructors first. Ningma made a beautiful presentation that was quite emotional. The instructors were called up to receive the special gifts the students had gotten for them. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Then these same three instructors gave their gifts to all the students. They have been teaching them for the past three years, so they have become very close to them. The gifts included a waterproof bag for their trips out into the field and some t-shirts and hats from Canada (where else, eh?), as well as candy and some bookmarks.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The usual classes were going on in the classroom with some case presentations by some of the students and teaching by our instructors.

Pastor Jon preached in the worship service conducted by the students at the Kalnin Leadership Center on Sunday, February 23rd. The students led the rest of the service, including several special music numbers that were simply beautiful.<br />

Devotions are being held each night in the dining hall after supper. David has taught the devotional message two nights now and Dan one. The students sing a song or two and then one of the men teaches the Word of God. It's a good way to wrap up each day, and these devotions will continue throughout this week.<br />

Teaching continues every day until Thursday when the students will take their final exam.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We are happy to still have Dr. Susan McDowell and Nurse Betty Reid-White with us. They have been invaluable members of the staff this year again. They are so devoted to our students. This afternoon part of the instruction included taking blood sugar and checking blood pressure. These services are much needed in Myanmar.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Dr. Eddy and his wife, Ramona, are here as well, as you know from the previous post.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Dr. Eddy, a dentist, practices in Burma and is especially helpful because he can teach the students directly in their own language. He is a very good teacher and has actually been showing the students how to use the ultrasonic scaling machine with live patients. </span><span style="font-size: large;">The students have also used the scaling machine on each other.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">Dr. Eddy focused on preventative health and oral hygiene. He instructed the students in the importance of brushing and flossing. They also learned about periodontal disease and how to treat common dental ailments. </span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">Each student then practiced teaching about dental health to the rest of the class, just as if they were talking to their villagers.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">In Myanmar, dental hygiene is not stressed as it is in America. Many people have terrible dental health and often build up thick plaque on their teeth. If not treated, they will </span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">lose</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;"> the</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">ir</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;"> teeth prematurely, usually one at a time, with pain, and often with infection that spreads into other parts of their body. </span></span></div>

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Here is Ying Sau's story . . . </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Ying Sau lives only 30 minutes from the China border, high in the mountains. He is married with 4 children. His village has electricity but no running water, so he uses water from the stream. He has phone service and internet (sometimes). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">He went to Bible College for 4 years and is the pastor of a church of 300 people (there are only 500 people in his village).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">There is no hospital in his village. The government has a clinic that is staffed by a nurse, but only on occasion. The nearest hospital is in China, but most of his villagers are not allowed to go there. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The next closest hospital is in Myitkyina, Myanmar. </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">If you aren’t too sick, you can go to the hospital by motorcycle and it takes 1 full day. If you are too sick to ride a motorcycle, then it is a 2 day trip by car. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Ying Sau told me, “There is an “evil spirit teacher” in my village who came to me seeking medical care. I attended to his medical needs and then prayed for him. The evil spirit teacher has never come to our church, but he has allowed all 7 of his children to attend. Some have come to the Lord. And, his brother and 2 sisters are also coming. They have not become believers, yet. We are praying for them.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Ying Sau also relates that his interaction with the community has blossomed since he has become a Barefoot Doctor. It has opened up many opportunities to share the gospel of Christ.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I asked him what we can pray about. He said, “Chairs for our new church building”.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I sense that revival is in the air in his village. Pray for God’s anointing upon Ying Sau as he preaches, for the Holy Spirit to draw the lost in his village to Himself, and for the Holy Spirit to soften the heart of the evil spirit teacher (and for chairs).</span><br />

We are 10 days into the 2020 Barefoot Doctor Program. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;">
This year the cornerstone of our education is centered around Case Presentations by the students. Each student, over the course of the next 5 weeks, will present about 5 cases that they have seen since last March. The student presents the history, the physical examination, their diagnosis, and the treatment that they prescribed to the rest of the class. They will also show at least one picture of their patient. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;">
Then as a group we discuss the case. The students are asking great questions this year. I can tell that they are developing their critical thinking skills, which is required for them to accurately diagnose and treat their patients. Critical thinking helps them to get beyond the patient’s presenting complaint of “abdominal pain” to the correct diagnosis of “appendicitis”. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;">
So far we have had cases of appendicitis, scabies, lice, thyroid goiter, asthma, bladder infection, vaginal infection, acne, Tuberculosis, strep throat, fractured leg, alcohol withdrawal, eye infections, and others. They are great cases.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: start;">This picture is from one our student’s case presentations. The student saw and accurately diagnosed and treated this patient.</span><br />

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;">

Their goal is to pray for every patient and share Gods love and salvation through Christ. But even if they are not able to share about Christ, the patient is treated with love and compassion in Jesus Name. </div>

He will finish his teaching responsibilities for this year at the end of this week.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">He shared the following thoughts about our amazing students.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white;">
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Since I had previously seen the students they had an additional three weeks of medical instruction, as well as a year of seeing people in their communities. I've been very impressed with their progress! </span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">They have become more habituated to using rudimentary differential diagnoses (a list of possible diagnoses and reasons why each is more or less likely), and this has corresponded to their diagnoses having more logical basis as well as having more diagnostic accuracy.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The students also appear to possess far more self-confidence in presentation. While it may be stereotypical, there seems to be some basis in the idea that the Burmese education system favors rote memorization and lack of questioning of their instructors. After three years, I think we've made some progress in cultivating their inner rebel! </span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As a result, students have been questioning different management styles in different cases and asking better questions regarding other student's questions.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Because of their increasing confidence, we've been able to base more of our instruction off cases that the students have seen. While they are far from perfect, it has given me additional confidence in what they are doing. </span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Over the last several years, we have also been able to have contact with the students over the internet and give real time feedback on cases that they are seeing.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I'm excited to see what progress we can make this year!</span></div>

This morning during the barefoot doctors’ Case Presentation hour, Nan Kee, one of our barefoot doctors, shared exciting news with the class about the new arrival in his family. Here is a brief summary from Dr. Bruce of what Nan Kee shared.</div>

This is Nan Kee, one of our Barefoot Doctor students from Chin State, Myanmar (Burma). He is a medical - evangelist and serves in a very remote area of Burma.</div>
<div style="font-size: 18px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 18px;">
He got married 4 years ago. They have been trying to have a baby since getting married, without success. While at the Barefoot Doctor school last year, he learned about women’s health. He must have listened closely in the lectures because his wife became pregnant soon after he returned home.</div>
<div style="font-size: 18px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 18px;">
She was due to deliver last week and Nan Kee while he was here at the Barefoot doctor school. Today was a day of celebration for all of us as Nan Kee gave us word and showed us pictures of his new baby. </div>

<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 18px;">I want to introduce you to my friend, Ni Chey, a Barefoot Doctor, from Myanmar.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 18px; text-align: justify;">Ni Chey is married and has one child. He became a Christian in 2016. He is the only believer in his family. His wife, parents, in-laws, and cousins are all non believers. Ni Chey stands alone in his family and his village as a beacon of light pointing others to Christ. I can only imagine his loneliness and the intense scrutiny as he lives out his faith.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 18px; text-align: justify;">
He is a very vibrant and social person. The other students are always poking fun at him because they like him a lot and he is always reacts with a big smile. He loves to sing and worship. He is 40 years old, but acts like a 20 year old when it comes to worship, especially action songs. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 18px; text-align: justify;">
He lives in the Rakhine State of Myanmar (Burma) on the Bangladesh boarder where there is much unrest and fighting. He attended the Barefoot Doctor program 2 years ago but was called home in an emergency when his brother was attacked and killed with a machete. He returned for school last year and again this year. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 18px; text-align: justify;">
Last summer the same people who attacked his brother came to him. They took his Barefoot Doctor medication away and reported him to the police, and he was arrested. He was released later that day and his medication was returned to him after he showed his Barefoot Doctor credentials. No doubt that God showed him favor.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 18px; text-align: justify;">
Ni Chey has a heart for the lost, a real passion. Pray for peace in the Rakhine state. Pray for safety as he serves the Lord in very difficult situation. Pray for favor as he interacts with the authorities and with the lost. May all who come in contact with Ni Chey see Jesus in him.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 18px;">
Thank you for your prayers,</div>

It was so good to be back in the classroom with the Barefoot Doctor students today, the first day of their last year. Everyone was excited to learn. It was very apparent to me that they had been using their knowledge and skills gained last year during the “off season”. They were not at all rusty, but immediately interacted with the instructors with well thought out answers and great questions. They weren’t perfect, mind you, but they were eager to learn from their mistakes.</div>

They each shared with us some highlights of their time away. Some had great life events happen - like having a new baby born into their family. Others experienced the death of a loved one. Many told us of a memorable experience with treating a patient. This was followed by a student presentation of one of the drugs that they will be using, the indications, side effects, and appropriate dosages. Then we had three students present cases that they experienced including the problem, the diagnosis, and their treatment of the patient. We all gave ideas and thoughts about what we did right and what we could have done better.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Hi All,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I write this blog on Sunday after joining the Burmese students for their traditional church service. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">What a great, yet humbling experience. They sang and prayed, prayed and sang, and then sang and prayed some more. That was followed by a message in Burmese and then communion. The service was 2 hours long. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Many of the songs were in English (broken English) and some in Burmese. As we sang <i>What a Friend We have in Jesus</i> together, I was humbled by the fact that most of my brothers and sisters in the Lord were not nearly as fortunate as I, and yet they were as content and happy as could be. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Some are pastors and others are pastor’s wives, businessmen, and farmers. Most have lost at least one sibling or child to illness. Some live in such a remote location that it takes 1 week to get to medical care. Some have no running water or electricity in their home. Yet, they don’t feel sorry for themselves, and they are not looking for pity or a handout. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">They don’t try to fit God into their life, God is their life. And, they have learned the meaning of Hebrews 13:5, “Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things that you have: for He has said, I will never leave your or forsake you.” Oh to God, that some of that attitude would rub off on me. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Communion with them was so special. As I partook of the elements, I really felt as one with them, one in Christ, co-laborers in His kingdom. </span>Jonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00652901465580371181noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665001684681821995.post-976884021377156872020-01-24T10:32:00.000-05:002020-01-24T10:32:19.398-05:00A Great Visit to the ECHO Farm!<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;">

Our students were taught about farming and livestock techniques that will improve nutrition in their villages. They took notes furiously, indicating that they thought the information was not only important but they had a real interest in retaining the information.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;">
So how does farming and raising pigs fit in with the Barefoot Doctor curriculum?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;">
First, we know that good nutrition is a primary factor in preventing many illnesses and we know that medications often are much less effective in a malnourished patient. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;">
Second, if the barefoot doctor brings ideas for increased crop productivity to their village, then their message of Christ is better received. </div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">One of the core values of Community Health Evangelism or CHE, is multiplication. Students have shared that over the past year, the compost training they received at the Barefoot Doctors school is being shared and implemented in several of their communities. They shared that modeling composting at their own homes, made neighbors curious, learned how to compost rather than burn their food and agriculture scraps, and are now composting on their own. Hearing this affirming story of multiplication was very special to the instructors, Eric and Shannon Wiederholt. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Many students voiced that over the last year, they felt their confidence in sharing health information as well as evangelism had grown. Stories like having people come from other villages for a small medical clinic and overnight stay provide opportunity to show the Jesus movie to unbelievers are so inspiring to hear. One person shared that she was thankful for the opportunity to put the financial stewardship training she received at Barefoot Doctors School’s theology week into practice.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Today’s requested lesson was on Diabetes and carbohydrate counting for meal planning. Students had fun creating a menu for men and women, using simple and reproducible props that represented portion sizes. Information on health issues like diabetes can be intimidating and that is why the students practice teaching the lessons to each other, taking turns and working through questions they have, making culturally relevant changes to skits as applicable. </span></div>
