Cleaning out the cobwebs.....

 I read a joke one time  "what happens to websites that are not updated properly?" ..........they get cobwebs!!!   Obviously this blog has plenty of cobwebs because I have neglected it far too long.   It is amazing how something can get moved to the back burner and forgotten.   Creating things like this is not my gift but it is important for the sake of communication so I am happy to say that I am going to clean out the cobwebs and get this back on track........



      On my recent trip to Cochabamba over spring break in April,  I was so happy to be back in the clinic!!   Juana, Maria, and  Barbara do a wonderful job in our BCI office at the Viedma Public Hospital and it is a blessing for me to just watch them interact so lovingly with the patients, display such respect and kindness to the parents,  and stick so closely day after day to the BCI goal of improving the lives of these burn victims.   It is hard to believe that we will cerebrate our sixth anniversary this summer.   God has so richly blessed this ministry and literally brought thousands to our door without any advertisement  or promotion in the city.  Please continue to pray for the patients who have been burned to find their way from the poorest areas of the city and from the countryside to the public city hospital so that we can help them with their therapy!!
