This post comes from a personal newsletter from a STN Staff Member.
A lady from the village
hobbled towards our camp with her husband. As she lifted her shirt, we could
see that she suffered severe burns down the entire right side of her body. Our
medical team began to uncover the damage and found that the wounds exceeded our
capabilities. The team did all they could medically and shared the peace of
Christ with the couple.
Nearby a group of believers
met for discipleship. By divine appointment, our team leader had decided to share on the
story of the Good Samaritan. As he shared and discussed how the church should
respond to the needs of the hurting around them, he turned to see the woman who
had come and called the church to be the “good Samaritan”. Out of their
nothingness, the church pulled their resources to get the woman the treatment
she needed. Overwhelmed by Christ’s story and the love she had experienced, her and
her husband gave their life to Christ.
Jesus asked "Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the robbers’ hands?” And he said, “The one who showed mercy toward him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do the same.”
Luke 10 (NASB)
