Sept 19 - Symposium, Last day of Lectures and Labs


Sept. 19th:  This was our last day of lectures and labs with the students.  Dr. Gibson presented on opthalmology, Dr. Sara presented on parasites and Liz got to do 2 short lectures, the first on minor surgical procedures.  The second was her favorite lecture, Our Biblical Responsibility to Animals.  It uses lots of Scripture and goes over mans responsibility to care for the animals and how God uses animals throughout the Biblical stories.  It also brings in the new heaven and earth and the animals present there and why Jesus is represented by both a lamb and a lion.  The students really liked it and several asked for copies.  Pray that it would speak to the hearts of those who are not saved and be used as a witnessing tool by those taking a copy.

In the afternoon we did labs again.  Our group did 4 cat surgeries and installed lots of IV catheters in dogs.  Most of the students had never done any hands on procedures and they loved it and thanked us profusely.  It was very humbling as to us the procedures were very basic but to them they were exciting.  We again got done late, 8pm, had a late dinner and went to bed very tired but glad we had a productive day and opportunities to share Scripture and prayer with the students.

Prayer Requests:
-         Val’s car
-         Tomorrow we travel to a village to do outreach.  There are some problems with accommodations and the partnership with the local church.  Please pray that these issues will be resolved before we get there, that Satan will be rebuked as we are sure he is behind it, and for good relations with the local community of believers.
