Well we had an awesome trip. After 5 days and 1300 miles we made it back. All went well and over 200 people recieved eather medical or dental treatment. Many also were given New Testaments and Bibles after being introduced to the Gospel. As the verse clearly says,"By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."
John 13:35 NASB
Francis Shaffer, in his book "The Mark of a Christian", said that this verse is what Jesus left for those of the world to judge if are His indeed!
Another verse that sobers me up many times to the need to love others is,
"If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen."
1John 4:20 NASB
In all these trips a part of a serman I heard always comes to mind.
"We have got to lay our lives down for the pourposes of God. This is not a Sunday School Picnic the Church of Jesus Christ. This is not an invitation to have continual good times. This is a war for the souls of men!" P. Carter Conlon
We must remenber ourselves that while our lives are going well so many athers are looked in the bonds of slavery to sin. Desperate to find the true water to relieve them of their unquenched thrist.
Let us be on the alert for the opportunities God will send our way!
People wait to be treated...
4 Doctors and 4 Dentist went on this trip.
