Beauty For Ashes
Phyllis showed her Dad's film in church last week - Beauty for Ashes! Directed, photographed, and narrated by Phyllis's father Victor Macy, it is the story of Nurse Julia, converted through the ministry of a Mozambican evangelist and called to save the lives of many. She died saving children from a rabid dog, bitten herself. It is a truly inspirational story and glimpse into how the Gospel was spread throughout Mozambique through the efforts of Mozambican evangelists.

CHEW Training
Last week we held our CHEW training - Community Health Extension Workers - taught by our own Dr. Godfrey! This is a government-approved program bringing health care and first aid to people in remote areas, where immediate care is not available. This training saves lives!
Dr. Godfrey taught in English while Nurse Agnes translated into Yoruba. He taught about hypertension - in Nigeria it's a serious problem due to the use of palm oil in nearly all their food.
He had the trainees take each other's blood pressures. Sure enough, out of 15 students, 13 had high blood pressure!
Graduates of the training were provided with a stocked medical kit!
The trainees were each given an item from the first aid kit and from the supply of additional meds we had purchased; each had to explain how and when the items were to be used. Then we conducted private, oral exams with each trainee. Eleven of the thirteen passed the exam and were given their kits and meds!
In two weeks we'll conduct the same training for fifteen Fulani here in Peace Village!
