And I’ve met many others over the past week
It was a week like no other. Eight appointments in the states of Lower Saxony, Hesse, Baden-Württemberg, and Saxony. A sweltering heat wave gripped Germany. A mere 5,300 kilometers driven in seven days. I was racking up the kilometers, but thanks to LPG, the fuel costs stayed within an acceptable range.
Everywhere, helpful people had stepped up to support Diospi Suyana. They prepared the presentations and actively invited people to attend. Across denominational lines, I met these followers of Jesus Christ who worked hard to share a story of faith with the people. And when I left my laptop charger at the St. James Church in Hochsträß near Ulm, a woman named Mrs. Glaßer Dummler sent me the charger via express delivery.
Bettina Lovatón (née Baumgarten) and Marit Weilbach de Farfán reminisced about the past. In 2005, they had each applied independently to Diospi Suyana from the same church congregation. Now, two decades later, they are still closely connected to our mission. As true assets to the community, they are in Fraureuth exactly what they always were at the Diospi Suyana Hospital: followers of Jesus Christ.
The following night, the mission doctors will fly John back to Peru.
