AIM Missionary Says TLC “the Real Deal”
Dennis Brock is a young missiomnary serving in Swaziland with Adventures in Missions. In 2008, Dennis married a Swazi lady Thulile, and together they seek to help the orphans who gather at “carepoints” to be fed physically and spiritually.
Recently, Dennis wrote to his supporters, another marriage has taken place – that between AIM and The Luke Commission. “It’s this marriage of the compassion, love, and hope of Jesus, along with the tangible help of great medical treatment that gets me very excited,” he said.
Dennis continued:
“We at AIM Swaziland experienced a breakthrough in our ministry. May 15th, 2009, was the day of our first medical clinic in our new partnership with The Luke Commission.
“In case you do not know of The Luke Commission, let me begin by telling you they are awesome! They are the real deal here in Swaziland!
“Everything they do, all the care they provide, is infused with getting out the message of Jesus. They have pledged to regularly run clinics at our carepoint locations.
“Usually, we have to take out children into the city to be seen at a hospital. It is always a long, difficult, and frustrating process. Most of the poorest people in Swaziland live in rural areas. They usually do not have the funds to be treated by a doctor, let alone the money to travel to the city to find a doctor.
“What usually happens is that the people suffer, and even die, from simple treatable ailments.
“What a blessing to have The Luke Commission’s good doctors and knowledgeable medical staff come into our rural communities to see people right where they live.”
“No one is ever turned away by The Luke Commission, as they will stay until the last person is treated. It was so great to see the TLC staff take time to explain to the people what their medical problems are. In Swaziland, usually a doctor will simply give you pills and not explain anything to you about your medical condition.
“And it’s looked down upon for a patient to ask the doctor questions…”
As The Luke Commission partners with AIM, may many more children be touched.
