From the Logbook..."Komplikasi"


A few weeks ago already, just before I was ready to take my family on an overnight ministry trip for Easter, we received a call for a patient at a village about 45 minutes north of PalangkaRaya.  Thankfully, there was still enough time in the day to get it all accomplished.  Oftentimes, when we ask what is wrong with a patient, the medical expertise in the village is such that they don't really know, so the patient is labeled under the broad category of "komplikasi" or, complications.  I was happy we could help, because whatever complications this gentleman was encountering, it didn't look pretty and he was obviously in a lot of distress.

Shortly after getting back and sending the man on his way to the hospital, we were airborne again for a village 1.5 hours away where we were invited to minister for the Easter services.  More on that to come in a few days...
