Lord, use
me…
When you ask
the Lord to use you, He will so be ready! This week we have spent the days seeing the different ministry
opportunities that are around our area. There are care points all around the cities where underprivileged (or
poverty) children can come for two meals per day and where they can also be
loved on and play in a safer environment. The Hope House is a place where people who are sick with TB or HIV/AIDS
can go for treatment, food, and a place to live. While we were visiting, we had the opportunity
to pray over the patients there and make a small step in building
relationships. There is a school in the
next town where we have the opportunity to spend time doing crafts, singing
songs, and sharing God’s Word to the children. The kids at that school do not
come from poverty families so at first thought it seems like we shouldn’t be
investing our time there. However, those
kids are the ones who will be the next leaders of this country; the king’s son
even attends this school. Knowing that,
it is obvious that we could make just as much of an impact there as we could
anywhere else. At one of the care points
there is a group of woman who make purses and other jewelry as a form of income
for their families. We haven’t been to
the hospital yet, but we have had training on the dos and don’ts for it. I’m excited about being there because the
people there are suffering alone and I know that I can sit and just hold their
hand or talk to them. It breaks my heart
knowing that they will probably die alone.
There are
lots of opportunities for us, but right now we are seeking the Lord asking Him
what He wants us to do. Please pray that
we will know exactly what the Lord wants us to do so that we can make the
biggest impact while we are here.
These are some of the precious children that we get to love on while we are here.
