In
Mark 8:4 it says “And his disciples answered him, “How can one feed these
people with bread here in this desolate place?” Jesus was asking the disciples to feed the 4,000 people that were
following him for three days. And the
disciples turned to Jesus and were like really how can we feed all these people
when we do not have a lot and there is no where to get food. But Jesus then asked the disciples “Well,
what do you have?” And they replied
“seven loaves and a few fish.” And they
gave Jesus what they had and he multiplied it. Jesus was asking his disciples to surrender and sacrifice what they had
to serve the 4,000 people. He is asking
them to give what they have so that he can multiply it. That is what we are doing here. We are surrendering the little that we have
and allowing God to show off!
Here
on the eastern side of Zimbabwe
we work with an organization called Heal Africa Trust. This main purpose of this ministry is to heal
these peoples mind, body and soul. We
are working with Pastor Bryan and his staff to bring healing with the areas
that have the most poverty. They share
the gospel with these people to spread the hope of Jesus Christ. We are just coming along side them and
helping them in their ministry. One of
their main forms of provision is medical
clinics.
The
two days that we have done this we have served about 200 people!
They
are continuing to branch out in more opportunities that the Lord is blessing
them with. One of these is doing educational
programming against the stigmatism of HIV/AIDS. Another is advocating for resources for some of the displaced families
to learn trades and acquire land. It has
been a real honor to see this organization get started and to see so many
people pour into it. The faith that
these people have to begin such a life changing movement really is
incredible! I am definitely taking notes
on how they continue to surrender the little that they have to allow God to multiply
it. Talk about being a disciple of
Christ! Just think of the ways that
Jesus wants to do that in your life…
Mark 8:8
are and were SATISFIED. And they took up
the broken pieces left over, SEVEN baskets full.”
