Spring is in the air. The days are getting longer and temperature is rising. But the winds are kicking in and blowing lots of dust around. We have had very little precipitation, so I look forward to rains coming, although not sure when that will happen.
I am working on a update. But I want to share some an amazing story and a prayer request. First off, we had a beautiful 6 month boy accepted for surgery in San Antonio. He had surgery on Wednesday and has faced some complications. Please lift up his family, the doctors and nurses caring for him, his interpreter Sara, and his host families. I have included some pictures of him.
Next I would like to share an amazing story about how the Holy Spirit works in hearts of people. A family came to visit our office this week. It was two older male relatives, the mom and one year old baby. This baby has the defect called Tetralogy of Fallot and is on our waiting list. We first met them last summer when the boy named Dulguun was screened and entered into our program. We gave them an update about his status in our program and printed out his echo evaluation sheet. Then one of the older relatives shared that they had never heard of Jesus and since being enrolled in our program, they wanted to learn more about Jesus and being a Christian. We were blown away as they showed an eagerness to hear about the Truth without us prompting them. We shared with them about our faith, finding a church, how to pray, and gave them a New Testament. Then they asked what kind of sacrifice they should give to Jesus. And then the Holy Spirit guided me to words in the book of Psalms to share how God wants our hearts, not material sacrifices. It was a beautiful moment.
