Our first TribalConnection trip was a tremendous success!  We visited 3 villages giving out God's Word and providing medical help.  We also made video connections with TribalConnections in 2 of the villages.

 Our team held a medical clinic in the village of Piscina de Pena Blanca where we treated about 75 patients.  One 8 year old boy had a very bad open sore on one of his legs.  This sore started as an insect bite over 5 months ago and has continued to get bigger and more infected in spite of his mother's efforts to treat it.  Trish was not sure of the diagnosis so we fired up the TribalConnection laptop and satellite link.  Within a few minutes Trish was consulting with 2 doctors 1,500 miles away in McKinney, TX.  As she gave the doctors the information and patient history they were able to view the boy and the wound through the web camera.  In a few minutes the doctors gave Trish a diagnosis and 2 prescriptions.  The young boy is now on medication which we pray will cured him.  Without TribalConnection this young boy would have most likely lost his leg and possibly his life.

We also had a professional videographer from a production company who works for the  Discovery & History Channels filming this.  The production company is going to use this film to pitch a TribalConnection series to Discovery Health Channel.  If this goes it could provide a big boost in our volunteer recruitment allowing us to reach many more villages and unreached people. 

Please be in prayer that this will work out as God desires.  Thanks for supporting XMA!  Without your help we could not be serving.
