NewSpring Foot-washing/Jigger Removal

**WARNING** This video contains graphic content.
The NewSpring medical missions team doing foot-washing and jigger removal in Depatus (The Segera area).
A jigger, scientific name Tunga penetrans, is a sand flea that is brought about by lack of hygiene and breeds in dirty areas. The impregnated female Tunga embeds itself in the skin under the toenails and feeds on the skin of its host. A jigger-infested foot is completely disfigured; the afflicted can barely walk due to the pain from ruptured flesh. The resulting social isolation in turn creates a sense of trauma and reduced self-esteem.

I am an atheist, so I don't look at this as God's work. I realize they do, and that's ok. What I see are a group of kind, wonderful people who are full of love and trying to do some good in the world. Thank you.

It made me smile to read this comment, you and Kristin are both wonderful people just for being able to see past religion, Most people nowadays can't. The way I see it religion has nothing to do with someone's heart. I've met completely horrifically nasty Christians, as well as Athiests and really people of all religions. But there's always those people who give me hope for this world. Thank you for being open-minded individuals. (If anyone cares, I'm Pagan and still a caring, loving person)

Thank you for your response! Please remember there are other non believers like me, and I will remember that there are Christians like you! Together, with love, we can stand side by side and make a difference in this world. (hug)!

[Kristin Lynn]

I very much respect and adore this comment you left. I am christian, and was married to an Atheist for several years. You can imagine how complicated that COULD be. It was, more so than you can imagine. I am touched by your comment and ability to see past religion and into the hearts of these people. So many non believers I know can't see past what they perceive as ignorance in order to just see the good. THANK YOU! You obviously have a very warm heart yourself. May you be blessed by LIFE! xoxo
