From the beginning of the devastating floods in Pakistan, a medical team has been on the ground treating immediate needs including snakebite, fever, stomach ailments, and skin infections, as well as delivering babies and distributing medicine. The medical team in northern Pakistan is grateful for church partners helping arrange life-saving medical camps. Patients commented: “This is the first medical camp we have come across which provides good, quality medicines. We are happy that we are receiving these medicines, as we will be cured soon.”

The local church pastor told these people that the medics treating them are Christians. Explaining the medical workers’ motivation, he said: “Now you have witnessed how we Christians help the needy. We do it because God loves you and we want to share His love with you flood-affected people.”

Another medical team in the south has also been busy. This team is thankful for American and Chinese medical colleagues who have helped to provide good treatment. The southern team received several calls from thankful patients who used a follow-up phone number issued during the relief distributions. Callers said, “We are thankful for what we received in the food aid packages. We are thankful to you and request that you help us in rebuilding our houses.” To date, the two medical teams have provided help for nearly 7,000 patients. Pray for their continued strength and protection.
