I pray this finds you and your family rich in God's blessings.
I'd like to share this small blessing with you, which happened the other day. As you know I have three different mission areas that I work at. One is in Coranado, (men's re-hab center) which is about 40 minutes from my house, the other way from my other missions areas.
I supply two large sacks of rice (80 pounds) every month to this one, which I buy from a wholesale rice vendor. He was weeks late in getting me the rice, and so every day I would call and he would give me the run around as to when the rice would get here, and so I was on call every day. Well I had made other plan's this past Tuesday, but late in the day he called and gave me directions where I could pick the rice up, about a 50 minute away. I picked the rice up and decided to deliver it the next day as I had another stops in the opposite direction.As I was driving the Holy Spirit, (that little voice in your head) said: You have the rice, go deliver it know!! Reluctantly I went. I picked up another missionary, (Jason, he's a Spanish language student and a pastor and enjoys ministering with the men there), I had not been there since my trip home, (there is no phone to call them), So when I arrived it was a great reunion.
They had built the chicken coupe I had told you about before I went back to the States, and have 20 egg laying chickens and one rooster, this supplies them with eggs every day, Praise God...
That's a blessing by it self, but God had another reason for my coming that day!!
OK, so Here's the Blessing
One of the new young men that has come for help, (to kick a drug habit) had punctured his right foot with a rusty nail the day before, and because they don't have any medical knowledge, he was just soaking it, kinda! When I arrived, he could not walk on it and it was swollen and very red. I told the team leader for that day that he needed an anti bacteria shot and other treatment ASAP or he could lose his foot or life very soon. (they have no on site transportation), and the bus is 1/2 mile away. So I drove him and one of the other guys, ( they can't leave the ranch a lone) to the hospital about ten miles away and he received treatment that night, which probably saved a lot of sickness in his immediate life and maybe his life! We all prayed together, as I realized again that God had answered a need of one of His children without anybody asking,(me showing up) but simply because of his love and faith in Jesus Christ as one of God's children.
God is no different than any of you parents. You see your children's needs and you act accordingly....In Love!!
Please remember to pray for the men at Ministry C.A.F.E. who have decided to rejoin life and are learning how to give back, in love through Jesus Christ!!
A Side Note: there's 20 men staying there now with only 18 real beds and no room for more (they are sleeping on the floor)...We could build as additional room for less that $3500.00 that would hold up to 25 men.....Just a thought?
God Bless You with His wisdom
