As we approached the hospital, we saw a huge crowd of people surrounding the entrance, and I wondered what was happening. The bus stopped, and as the team stepped off the bus, the crowd started cheering and clapping. I realized that the crowd was there to see us! Many parents were there with children on their shoulders, hoping to have their child chosen for surgery. My heart was opened that day.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/operationrainbow.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_0103.jpg\" alt=\"Jon Boone\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>ARE YOU PLANNING TO SERVE ON FUTURE OPERATION RAINBOW MISSIONS?<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Absolutely.
