We saw God at work today

We spent today at Fountain of Hope Church doing medical outreach. We had over 250 people from the community come for treatment and testing. What a priviledge to share the gospel and pray with people before and after they saw the doctors.
 
After lunch we went into the slum near the church to pass out fliers and invite people to come for medical care. A family of 5 orphans that I met at church on sunday grabbed me by the hand and took me to see where they live. I met their "great-grandma" and got to pray with them all in their cardboard-lined shanty, and they all came back to the church to see the doctors.
 
We praise God that the nearly completed orphan home at the church could be used to shine the light of the gospel and the love of God to so many people today, and we pray for the continuing minstry of our partner, Fountain of Hope Church.

My brotha! What a beautiful display of the gospel. Joining our King in the healing of His people body & Soul. Beautiful!!!! As it says in Isaiah if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday. The Lord will guide you always: He will satisfy your needs in a sun scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. Be encourged my man!!! His will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Grace & Peace to you & yours,
Ben
