Swoosh! Ten-year-old SuAnne was hacking the top off of a coconut, as all island children do, when the machete sliced deep into her left index finger, cutting it clear to the bone. A week later, the Canvasback medical ship arrived at her island. SuAnne showed up at the dental clinic with her finger wrapped in a dirty rag. Immediately she was sent over to the medical clinic where Dr. Mike VanValkenburg, a volunteer from North Dakota, took a look. The finger was crooked, dirty and caked with blood. Dr. Mike reopened the wound and sewed the finger back together. SuAnne left the clinic with a big smile and an even bigger white bandage to show off to all her friends. SuAnne told one of the clinic workers that she had prayed for Jesus to heal her finger. Of course, she had never heard of North Dakota before, and Dr. Mike had never heard of Makur Island. Yet there he was 8,000 miles from home on a tiny remote island-- just in time to answer a little girl’s prayer.
