Getting better all the time

This is my third trip to Clinic Ezell, and I'm enjoying myself more each year. The clinic is not an oasis in the desert, but it is a house of healing and prayer in the midst of poverty and need.
The first impression of a seasoned,medical missionary is that this clinic is too good to be here. It is well equiped and built in a beautiful setting. But, after a day or two, your impression changes and you begin to appreciate the qualtiy of care given by the physicians, surgeons, and all the others who sacrifice so much to be here.
Yesterday, a plastic surgeon took one of his patients from last year to surgery. All he did was make a small incision, L-shaped, about 3mm vertical and 2mm horizontial. This will perfect the double cleft lip he did last year. It looked good before, but this poverty stricken patient received the same attention a paying patient would receive in the USA. This is typical of the concern and care given at Clinic Ezell. Why is so much accomplished in such little time? The answer is that no one cares who gets the credit, as long as God gets the glory.
