We need each other, that’s a
given! What would life be like if we had
to face everything alone? It would be
sad, discouraging, limiting, hard, joyless, empty, and overwhelming.
Our work load at Nazarene
Hospital varies depending on the inpatient census, the length of the outpatient
line, whether it is coffee bean season when people have more money readily
available for clinic fees, how many docs are on HA (Home Assignment), how many
volunteers we have, how many difficult cases each doc sees on any given day and
more. The most difficult cases are often
the ones for whom we have no treatment options.
The ones we have to give bad news to.
A few of these in a short period of time, leaves me feeling emotionally
spent. We are, in our own strength…not
strong at all. We are weak.
We need the God of
all Creation and we need each other! That’s what He intended. That we would live in community with one
another, believers bound by our common desire to bring glory to the
Master. As believers in community we are
able to build each other up, combine our strengths and resources, help meet
each other’s needs and, as partners in the Gospel, accomplish so much more for
Him! We see this very picture in Acts
chapter 2. The disciples devoted
themselves to meeting together, breaking bread together, praying together. Verse 44 says, “All the believers were
together and had everything in common.” The result of this was, “the Lord added
to their number daily those who were being saved.”
As partners we can celebrate Kingdom successes
together!
This past November we held our
District Assemblies in 17 districts across 7 island nations in PNG and the
South Pacific Fields. 44 ordinations
took place! Let’s celebrate!
Through Chaplain ministry at
Nazarene Hospital 8 new church plants have been started in the past 2 years.
Through Nazarene Radio Ministry two new church plants have been started as well! Let’s celebrate!
We had 2 new doctors join our
Medical staff in 2017. Another will join us in July and still another in Jan
2019! God is continuing to call doctors
to medical missions! Nazarene Hospital is in the process of being approved by the PNG Surgical
Society to serve as a training site for young national surgeons! We will be able to actively help in the training of PNG surgeons as well! Let’s celebrate! All of us!
We are in this together! 
Jeff and I need you! We need your prayers, your love and concern
and your financial support. Would you
take some time to prayerfully consider how God might use you to partner with us
for His Kingdom work in PNG? (2 Corinthians 8:3-4)
