With lots of respect and love,I apologize to you all my dear partners in WIC and to all those who have been faithfully following up our updates and praying for and with us.For the past 4 months I have been very inconsistent in my blog writing and yet it is one of the most effective way to keep us all updated and on the same page,my husband being away made me a little lazy or preoccupied with a lot and blog writing became so hard even when i had real issues to update about. I am sorry and now I am trying to catch up.Thank you Tracie for reminding me that you need to be updated,yes sometimes we need someone to say something then we wake up.
Although I have not been writing a lot about what has been taking place,we have had so many cases the past 4 months and some of them have been serious ones,some have been minor,and one other thing that God has done biggest these past months is that,He has won more souls through WIC than the whole past year.I cant praise Him enough for that,if WIC were a church building,we would have a full congregation, :D I know this is the most important mission that the Lord has given us and the ultimate goal of WIC as a ministry in all its aspects.
We have been able to reach out to more women and babies because we had enough supply and thank you for giving.
We had Bibles to give out without struggling and that made it easier to do ministry.Thank you for giving.
We have been able to help more teenage mothers to have their babies in a hopeful way and this was done through the short counselling sessions i have had with them in the hospital.
We have had Muslims give their lives to Christ since September and so many Catholics come to Christ besides the many others who just never used to go to any church.
God is still winning souls and let us keep going out there because the fields are ready and the workers are few.
Tuesday was a good day and very busy one.Jeff and I returned home tired and when it was time for dinner,I felt a sudden sharp pain in my stomach as I was setting up the table.It was so sharp that it caused my head to ache too,I tried to ignore it but I couldn't,so I went to bed to try and sleep,it was impossible,I ran to my mum's room ,she prayed for me,the pain was just unbearable I couldn't straighten up,couldn't walk,and not even lay down.at about midnight it became the worst stomach pain I have ever had,and Jeff drove me to a clinic in town,thank God for mothers,my mom was right there trying hard to help Jeff and I.I could barely move a step,at the clinic I got good help and was found with a very strong infection in my belly,I don't know how it went in there. ;) .I was immediately put on IV treatment that I am supposed to take for 5 days. I hate the shots but I am grateful I am taking them because I am getting better so fast.This is not the main reason I was writing this blog,I just needed a backbone to what I am about to write.We drove back home,and the night was a nightmare to me,sleepless night,hadn't eaten the previous day and pain in my belly,so the next morning was when I was trying to catch up with sleep.As soon as I felt a little sleepy ,my body was aching and my head was aching and swinging hahahaha that's the best description I can give to what I was feeling at the moment,and all I was praying for,was at least a 30 minute sleep,and God gave me the sleep,but before 15 minutes of sleep,my fone rung,and it was the hospital: The nurse sounded concerned and I asked her to hang up so I could call her back,when I called she said we need you, can you help?
wheeeeeew! Now this was a big day for us at home,our son Dave was graduating from nursery school,or kindergarten and he was going to do a presentation on him liking to be a pilot.I had waited for this day and like any proud mother,this meant a lot to me,my son was going to stand in public and speak. besides that,I was weak and all I needed was a little sleep,and now there was a need,2 teenage mothers,no food,no drugs,no bedding,no water,no everything," Now a couple months back,we lost a teenage mother I had seen the previous night,accessed the need,and I told them I was coming the next day with all the other drugs and things the doctor had asked for,The next day as I was walking in the ward with everything they had asked for, I went straight to the girl's bed and as I stood there with all the supplies,she died"I kept on thinking if I had brought the drugs that night though it was late and dark,may be she would have lived,this was the hardest thing for me to swallow and that memory is still alive in my head and on my heart.I also said to myself,well I am sick,and I have treatment,these girls are sick,but they do not have any treatment,I jumped off my bed faster than I thought I could,and called Jeff and asked him to come home and pick me .
When I reached the hospital,this is a 15 year old girl who was made pregnant and abandoned,chased away,rejected by the 18 year old boyfriend and father of her baby.she was sleeping with her baby on the empty bed,Mastullah looked very tired and weak,beautiful but with a hopeless look on her face,Jeff was with me since I was too weak to even talk to her while standing,he helped me get the prescription and went to town to bye the drugs so she could start on her treatment..I couldn't help but start sharing the gospel of Christ,the love of Christ ,and within 20 minutes,Mastullah became a child of God,she received Christ as her savior,a former Muslim,now a child of God,I couldn't contain my joy,I felt stronger,she made a prayer asking Christ to come into her life,and we prayed together,then she was smiling at me,when Jeff brought all her drugs,she couldn't stop thanking,she got money for food and upkeep,this was the climax of my day.We missed our son Dave's presentation at school,I know I will never see that day again,but this one soul was is the best thing that happened in that day.
We saw him graduate,we asked him to forgive us for not being there to see him do his presentation,it hurt in our hearts like so deep, but my spirit was rejoicing.I know it is worth it.
Since then,my heart has been praising,and I am so blessed to be part of God's work here.
Thank you for being part of God's work here with us.
We love you
sorry I haven't posted any pictures,but I took some, I just had to write this since it was on my heart. I will post pictures of us and Mastullah later.
:)
ONE MORE SOUL FOR CHRIST
