We began our day with a devotional given by Pastor Greg to our team on Mark 5:21-34. In this passage of Scripture, Jesus healed the woman who had suffered from bleeding for 12 years. Jesus stopped everything He was doing and seized the opportunity to restore this woman's dignity and honor, returning her back to her God, her family, tribe and clan. He showed that indeed, we are our brother's keeper. Today was our second day of ministry at the farm in Gulu for the distribution of wheelchairs. We prayed that we would seize the opportunities given to us so that those who needed the compassion of Jesus, would receive His love. Our physical therapists and mechanics were given much wisdom and discernment to choose 27 wheelchairs, and not only that, but 25 people gave their life to Christ today. The angels in heaven are rejoicing as are we, for the 55 new brothers and sisters that have joined the family of God these past two days. There are so many wonderful stories to be told by each of the seven stations who ministered to the hurting and needy that came to receive the gift of a new wheelchair. It is our great honor to be God's hands to touch the body and souls of those who came. It is such a privilege to hear the call of Christ and to be our brothers and sisters keepers here in Uganda. Come, Holy Spirit, Come.
Rejoicing with you for all those finding hope and salvation through Christ! Praying for strength for all of you as you work long hours in the heat, ministering to those affected by disability. Keep smiling!
