Pastor Dan's 2012 Christmas Eve Sermon

I want to thank the congregation for allowing me to go on the Jamaican Christian Medical Mission (JCMM) this April, especially the Diaconate, which paid half my airfare. This trip the mission had three clinics: medial, eye, and dental. All three provide quality medical care at no charge to the people who live near Carron Hall, St. Mary, Jamaica. All three clinics worked at full capacity—over one hundred patients—each of the 4 days of the clinic. This was my third trip and my third time working the clinic pharmacy (a storage room in the church). Four days of nonstop pill counting! Although our usual pharmacy crew was unable to make the trip, we had an excellent team, including the 10-year-old daughter of one of doctors. Joci took on any job we gave her, including counting vitamins and making labels, and lifted our spirits with her youthful energy. Although I was “stuck” in the pharmacy during the clinic, I did receive reports that our dental and eye clinics were especially successful this trip.
