Speaking of missions
Missions by the Book: Give thanks to the Lord
"Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done" -- 1 Chronicles 16:8, NIV.
Quotable: God is concerned, even when we aren't
“Where we hate, You love. Where we are indifferent, You are passionately concerned, even for those who worship other gods or no god.” -- Erich Bridges in “A Thanksgiving prayer”
Illustration: Meeting their deepest needs
Ministering to needs in southern Lebanon, medical relief team member "Sherri Redding" saw hope amid the devastation. Wrapping up one exam, for instance, Redding handed Abdullah a blister-pack of Pepto-Bismol-colored pills and a book as a gift to his family. Inside the front cover she wrote, “I pray God brings healing to your body, peace to your heart and blessings to your family.” Abdullah’s deep-set eyes showed he was deeply touched by her bedside manner. “I’ve never actually had anyone listen to my lungs before,” he told her. “I’ve seen lots of doctors and they just take my pressure and tell me to leave. They don’t actually listen to me. I’ve never had anyone take this much time with me.”
“Our spiritual needs and our physical needs are intertwined,” Redding explained. “If someone is sick or hurting, they may not be able to think about their spiritual needs until their physical needs are met.”
