First we finally found a strong Christian child psychologist with the help of our friend Leo, a local youth pastor. He directed us to a woman in his church who has a huge heart for children. We took Antonio there for her to reach inside of him to uncover the horrors of sexual molestation that we can't reach. She's a great Christian and appears to be a very capable child psychologist. After meeting w/me and then Antonio by himself she scheduled us for 3 follow-up meetings w/Antonio for a thorough evaluation. We've been trying to get this done for 14 months and now, finally! As she handed me the appointment card for the next session she told me, "I don't want you to pay anything. This is a small way I can help with your work." She also has rescued 6 children from the streets and is caring for them. Thank you, Jesus!
Next we received a call from some fellow missionaries, John & Valerie, who attend the same church as us. They told us they had a dental team in country and wanted us to bring all of our children to their home for a check-up. Turns out the lead dental technician speaks fluent Spanish and the children fell in love w/her. She worked on all of kids for 3 hours non-stop, marking down every cavity, cleaning teeth & gums, and then giving them a new paste fluoride treatment. All at no cost, of course!
When adversity strikes...the Lord shows up!
