Home For Thanksgiving (Mexico Part 3)

Wednesday was a travel day for Go To Team’s Clark Crew as they headed home from Villahermosa. Skip and John South had been in Mexico since November 15 covering the devastating floods in the state of Tabasco. Tuesday, their last full day in Mexico, was a long one as they were out in the far stretches of the area and then back to Villahermosa and then back out to the rural country on the other side of the city.

Their first stop was a makeshift hospital that’s been set up in one of the rural churches. Samaritan’s Purse arranged for doctors to come out to this distant area to see children and adults alike. Many of these residents are dealing with injuries and illnesses weeks after the flood and are in need of medical attention.

As they passed back through Villahermosa they stopped at another church and interviewed two pastors that have been directly helped by Samaritan’s Purse. Producer Bill Meisner talked to these pastors about how the aid provided by SP has been so helpful to their congregations.

And then they made their way out to the other side of the city to visit another rural area. There they interviewed a woman who had just gotten one of the Samaritan’s Purse food packets.

The whole week was an amazing journey throughout Villahermosa and the rest of Tabasco. Skip and John were constantly amazed by the outreach of support from Samaritan’s Purse and the effectiveness of their disaster response team. Samaritan’s Purse will remain in Villahermosa for months from now as they continue to help the people there clean up and get back onto their feet.

Oh, and while they were there, Skip was actually recruiting for the next Go To Team Apprenticeship Position! All current candidates should look out!
