DIVINE APPOINTMENTS

Last week when a young man asked us to come and pray for his Dad, we had no idea that His Dad was dying of a brain tumor. He was given two days to live over 8 months ago. We prayed for Mario and his Wife Ana and their three children. They were living on the porch of his Sisters house with no walls to speak of no doors or windows, and no beds to sleep on. We knew that we had to do something, so we ordered two new beds and Paula and Lynnea put together a box of sheets, blankets, some dishes, pots pans and other household items. Thursday we started building new walls, added a few windows and closed the rooms off from the outside. Friday we added two doors and built shelves and tables as Mario watched from his wheel chair. Saturday we finished what is now their home. A time of sharing the Gospel with the whole family and praying for them capped off a wonderful week of ministry. How often would we open our home up to a family member in need, when our house is already full? How often would we lay down our life for a friend or family member? Being Jesus to the hurting and hungry and dying is what we are supposed to do isn't it? Meeting needs is what we are supposed to do isn't it? It's so great to have Alan and Lynnea here to help, being Jesus with skin on comes naturally to them. Lynnea was amazed at how the family pulled together to help their brother in need, no matter what how it inconvenienced them. A great week followed by a lose on the golf course to Alan.
