Have you ever had one of those really busy Sundays with added services in the afternoon such that the idea of going out yet again seems totally uninviting? We felt like that this past Sunday. We had our Harvest party on Saturday night after which we had one of our new missionary families, the Kerrs, over for the night, which we thoroughly enjoyed! (They live at the Bible College and since we don't travel after dark needed a place to lay their heads!). We went to church on Sunday morning and then had a nice dinner with our guests and then had our monthly English service at 2pm and then...we were ready for a little rest!


It seems often times when you do what you know you should and show up for the evening service or next special event...God moves in a mighty way and realize you certainly wouldn't have wanted to miss it!! That too is how we felt!!

We had a Prayer Walk through the new hospital buildings. This was organized by Kathy Radcliffe and Dr. Stephanie Doenges and it was very moving and special for all present! We started out in the outpatient area and after sharing a bit of scripture and song we went through the doctor and nurse exam rooms and the treatment room praying God's blessing on it all. We then went through pharmacy, all 4 hospital wards , then operating theater and central supply and finally ended with the ER and orthopedic rooms. There were missoinaries and national workers, all of us coming together with the common goal of comitting all of our work to our Lord God, the Creator of all things who is all-powerful and all-knowing and all-loving and has provided this tremendous ministry that we get to be a part of !!! We wouldn't want to be anywhere else at this time in the great history of Nazarene Hospital!!

In just 12 hours we begin our move into the new hospital! Pray with us that all will go according to God's plan.
