Today is the day set apart to enjoy a tour of the newly opened
game park and a lunch in a real restaurant but even on “a day
off” there are things that have to be done and visiting a woman who got saved
during soul winning is a case in point. While John was leading a group to the
Lord one of the woman present asked if now that she was saved would it be
alright if she asked John to pray for her health, John said yes and then asked
what was the problem. The woman showed him a wound on her lower leg and asked
him to pray. When we all got back to the SUV at the appointed time John
mentioned to me about the woman and said he was going back Saturday morning to
clean and care for her wound. I said I would go with him, he said he was hoping
I would say that.
One Saturday morning we got up early(0500) dressed and left the
house and picked up James to interpret for us. We met him at 0600 at a well
known trade center and got to the village of Ozomba in the district of Thyolo
at 0700, met with the chief and the pastor and went to the house and started
treatment, this was one ugly wound, swollen and full of infection. We gloved up
and started to clean away the top section of crust and came to the real mess
that needed cleaning out, much hydrogen peroxide and soaking later we got to
raw meat and clean edges where we could see healthy tissue. We applied
antibiotic cream and a clean dressing, proscribed 10 days of oral medication
and clear instruction on how to clean and treat the wound till John can return
and follow up. Then is was a mad dash to get home by 0900 and have breakfast
with the family and start our adventure for the day.
Please pray for this young woman that what we did helped and did
no harm and that she heal and give praise to the Lord.
