The Peru Trip

I just spoke to Dr. Isard on the phone. The medicines are still in customs in Lima, Peru. Please continue to pray that the medicines will be released and distributed to the patients in Tarma.



884 patients were seen and 550 made professions of faith.



Student nurses helped with vital signs.




Mrs. Bitsey helped Sarah, RN with vital signs. Sarah was a real trooper. She had anticipated working in the pharmacy; however, since the medicines were still in customs, she took vital signs, a task performed with a machine in the States.

Seeing Patients in Tarma

This is a young patient from Tarma. She is dressed for the c0ld. She is as kind and loving as she is cute. We have been overwhelmed with the kindness and love of the people in this city.

We arrived in Lima and drove by bus to Tarma Saturday. It took us a 1-2 days to get acclamated. We went to church at Iglesia Biblica Bautista de Tarma Sunday. Donald preached Sunday morning and Jim Earl preached Sunday night. There were two professions of faith.

We have seen almost 600 patients in two days. We plan to see patients this morning, approximately 200. We need to edit our notes to fit the exact medicine and strengths now that we know what medicines we have. Dr. Isard and Pastor Paul spent Monday and Tuesday morning trying to get the medicines released to no avail.
