It has been so incredible in the last six months to watch
what the Lord continues to do at our local hospital that we visit 1 – 2 times
per week. It is one of our greatest JOYS to go there to love on the people and
babies! We usually have one or more of our older girls who go with us from MCV.
It has been beautiful to watch one of our girl’s heart of compassion and
confidence grow as she prays for the sick and broken. Last week, she
confidently shared a couple of scripture verses with the mamas caring for their
sick babies.
A desire and heartthrob of our hospital ministry is to love
on the babies who don’t have any visitors due to being abandoned, parent’s
passing away or very ill. We declare the goodness of Jesus over each one of
them proclaiming that they are adopted, healed and loved with an everlasting
love. We also lay hands and pray for as many babies as we can believing they
will be fully healed and walk in their fullness. Aside from the babies,
different wards continue to open up to us within this very big public hospital,
recently, nurses have directed us to different wards for us to pray in. Slowly,
bit by bit, we are covering the whole hospital which was a dream of ours! Our
long-term dream is that we come with big teams and scatter in small groups
covering the entire hospital.
We have many testimonies of Jesus healing and touching those
we prayed for and His love continues to be expressed as we continue to pray for
those that are in front of us.
*We prayed for a beautiful mom who had a sick child. We
asked her if there was something we could pray for her and she said yes, her
eye. She could only partially see out of one eye and after praying, she said
her eye was fine, she could see again!! Hallelujah!
*We visited the psych ward several times. We have had 2
women give their lives to the Lord. Wow, so beautiful!
*We recently heard of an incredible testimony from one of
the nurses. We prayed for a baby in ICU not knowing that she needed to be
transferred for urgent surgery either later that day or the next day. The
doctor came in one more time to examine her before she went in for the surgery.
The doctor said that it was a miracle, the baby did not need to go for surgery
and she was removed from ICU. :)
We are so blessed to get to be the hands and feet, it
reminds me of this scripture:
God always blesses those who are kind to the poor and helpless. They’re
the first ones God helps when they find themselves in any trouble. ~ Psalm 41:1
As I left the hospital today, I came across this
butterfly in the corner of a window.
May we be a people that finds the hidden treasures and
joy in all circumstances and in people no matter what the cost!! Amen!
