"Hopes
For Others"
Current Newsletter....
July 5, 2003
Dear
Friends,
It
is always a privilege to write and share with you how God has
blessed and is blessing the ministries. He is so good to all of us
and we so often take these blessings for granted.
The
last of May the Lord allowed us to ship our 40th
container to Romania. I thank God for the people who donate the
clothes, medical supplies, and sometimes food, that we are able to
ship. Most people here in America have no idea what a blessing
these items are to those who have nothing. If the Lord is willing,
we hope to ship another container the last of August.
So many of you
have had a part in the Christmas box ministry, and also in putting
together the bags of items for the nursing homes. What a blessing
these have been! We are praying to have even more this year. If
you need information regarding these projects, please call or
email us and we will be happy to provide you with information. We
must have all of the boxes and bags ready to ship by the first
weekend in November.
Please
continue to pray with us regarding the clinic. The need seems to
be more evident each day. Anton is continually working in the
nursing homes and with the street children to do what he can to
meet their medical needs. As he meets these needs, he is also able
to present the Love of Jesus in both word and deed and this is the
purpose of Hopes for Others.
The following is a statement from one of
Anton’s letters. "He
had asked the Dr to give him a slip to come to Arad and go to the
hospital but the Dr said no that I would do more and had more meds
and better meds than the hospital."
(these
medical supplies, which Anton uses, are available only because
many of you donate them to us for
shipping)
As
a side note I had a good talk with Albert yesterday, he was
very talkative.
He
asked me why I was able to fix his feet in a year when the
hospitals and drs tried for 5 years? I told him it was because I
prayed for him and without God he would never have been healed. To
me Albert is the person I can see most clearly has had a dramatic
change both spiritually and physically. Carl the guy in the next
bed said when he came to the home three years ago Albert
could not walk.
I
am quite thankful to God for his healing,
I continue to pray
for him to forgive his children who never come to see him”
There
are so many stories that I could share with you from nursing
homes, street children, and other places where we minister. These
are only a couple that demonstrate the need for a medical facility
where physical needs can be
met and the gospel shared.
We
feel so blessed that God has allowed us the privilege of helping
others and of sharing His love with them as we do so. We also
realize that it is only because of your love, prayers, and gifts
that any of this is possible.
We continue to pray that Hopes for Others will be what God
will have it to be-that we would constantly look to Him for
leadership in all we do. Someone once asked me
what
vision I had for the ministry in Romania. I told them I had never
had a vision but that as God opened doors, we just try to seek His
leadership and step through them. If there is one thing I always
want to stress, it is that it is God accomplishing these things
and not
us. Like all of you, we are only instruments.
Thank
you, and may the Lord continue to bless you all.
“My
little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but
in deed and truth”
