For The Sake Of The Gospel

1 Cor 9:22-23 …I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. And this I do for the gospel's sake…

The Waller Family has been a tremendous blessing visiting here. Their ministry is one of the most effective and helpful Gospel tools I have ever seen. Dr Waller is a surgeon who surrendered his practice to work full time in 3rd world ministry. Both Carlos and I have witnessed and been a part of other medical outreaches in the past, but none have worked this effectively in medicine and for souls. Nurse Linda and Dr Waller have diagnosed and helped some very sick people with meningitis, epilepsy, heart problems, aids, hernias, diabetics and more. I can already see the makings of a great missionary in their son Tim, serving people water, food and tracts, running errands allowing mom and dad to stay focused. I had a preacher tell me once kids take energy away from ministry…well I could not do, or be effective in ministry without ours, as many of you whom we visited on deputation know. Yesterday the outreach was set up to see 50 people. Our church folks were given tickets to use or give away for those sick to see the doctor. Each person came and checked in to fill out their paperwork, then saw Linda for preliminary workup. When she got a group of 10 they went to see the preacher first for spiritual medicine.(all sickness has a root in sin somewhere, for sickness began in the garden of Eden) I invited Ramon to preach 4 Gospel messages and saw 6 visiting adults accept the LORD this way. They sit in the waiting room with others working the Gospel and finally the Doctor is also a soul winner, 5 more were won this way. This is just a taste of what they plan to do in July, I am looking forward to working with them again. The Wallers were still smiling after a non-stop 12 hour work day with only one 10 min break to eat. Then repeated it all again the following day, for 6 more souls and 30 people treated after church. These Christians are sold out for the “Gospel’s sake.” Tuesday the gold mine has loaned us their military surplus unimog to go into the mountain to survey for July. The plan is to visit a few people the pastors know need help and increase the response for the later trip.
