“We were working very hard, but were completely satisfied to see the lives of people surprised by the realization of God’s love and care for them,” said OM Peru leader Mayelo Gensollen. “Several of our patients were elderly. One patient stood out to me…he is 93 years old.”

OM Peru’s medical outreach saw over 350 patients that day. During the clinic, the team took the opportunity to share the message of God’s love with those waiting to receive attention. The gentleman who caught Gensollen’s attention was having trouble walking. He continues, “We were able to give him a wooden cane to walk. He was so excited to be able to walk. He had been invited to participate in a parade for veterans but couldn’t because of the difficulty he had with walking. During his time at the clinic my wife, Any, took some time to talk with him about Christ’s gift and the need for repentance, but Jose did not respond and left”.

Minutes later the man returned and began looking for Any. He asked her what he had to do to find forgiveness for sins. Any responded by telling him about Christ’s salvation, and he accepted Jesus that day. “We were so joyful to see him walking away using his cane with a face of joy and thankfulness for what God had done”, recalled Mayelo.
