You can say “no” and you can say “Lord,” but you can’t say “No, Lord.”
David Sills spoke these words about being a disciple of Jesus today as the Global Mission Health #GMHC2015) in Louisville, Kentucky ended. Over 3,000 people gathered for three days to learn ways that God is working through medical missions around the world. It was a blessing to receive updates on the Ebola situation in Africa, current treatment for malaria and AIDS, and a wealth of other information. Numerous speakers reminded us of the joy of suffering for Christ’s sake.
“Empowering People to do Things for Themselves,” the breakout session led by our mission director Greg Seager, had to turn away almost as many people as it admitted because of seating limitations. It is always a joy to hear the passion he and his wife Candi share. They are committed to lead Christian Health Service Corps (link is to a new 1'37" video clip) in a way that brings the healing touch of Jesus to some of the most impoverished places on earth, with dignity, excellence, and community transformation as priorities. In 2015, our missionary force has increased from twenty-eight to forty units.
The Lord also gave us some divine appointments with people who can assist in CHE ministry in Cote d’Ivoire, or whom we can assist. Two leaders from a strong evangelical denomination in CI “just happened” to attend the conference, and Verlin spoke with them at length. They reaffirmed their desire to be trained in CHE when we return to the field. He also networked with two organizations that can assist with short term CHE mission trips.
Praise and Prayer:
- Debbie’s hernia surgery is scheduled for noon on Monday, November 9, in Nashville.
- We were thankful to be back at Central Oaks last Sunday, the church where Verlin grew up. Their increased pledge to our account which will start in 2016 and one other commitment brings the monthly amount we need to raise down to $1,600. Praise the Lord with us!
