Medical Ministry Projects:
This month I have spent a lot of time praying, thinking and talking with others about medical ministry and my involvement in it. Although I still have a lot of decisions to make about what I will be doing, I have really come to some firm convictions about what I won’t be doing. It seems a little strange to me that I have had to put so much time into figuring out what I won’t be doing but it has really helped.
As the months have been going by I realized that I was spending more and more time helping a few people rather than putting time and effort into focusing on teaching or training or equipping people.
Although many of the things I have done have been very valuable such as being able to pray and share with a woman dying of AIDS, helping people get better, seeing many children beat diseases like scabies, ring worm or worms. It’s so hard when the whole of Zambia seems to be sick and not know what to do or even be able to afford to do anything.
At the same time I am really convicted that if I am to be here it should be for a purpose that is not need driven, that is not for self or donor satisfied, and that is primarily for the glory of God. Please pray with me over the next few weeks as to the actual direction to take.
