His presence Is sweet
Matt 5:14-15
“ You are the light of the world, a city on a hill cannot be hidden, nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lamp stand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.”
Such is the focus of work down here. To not only light a light but to pass the flame to others so they can be the light as well. From medical Clinic, where are treat the body, to the school where we lift the spirits of the church this place is doing it all. I am impressed on the level of organization that has been set up. We have teams of authority and the people in charge are strong, but loving and they lead, not lord and it brings such a peace to the camp. Each one facing their own personal struggles and battles but allowing the truth of the Lord to change who they are and make them into the next wave of the release of His amazing power and presence.
This morning we had worship in the pharmacy, which is also Sabrina’s room, the middle room, and the supply closet. We were listening to songs on the Ipod docking station and there were five of us. The worship began and we all went silent and one by one tears and joy from His presence came. It was so sweet to stop in the middle of the morning to be able to take time and make that the way the days will be.
The presence of the Lord is in this place, and the fruit is evident. In the small way, 35 people sharing 1 bathroom, there has to be patience, and understanding! But also the sweetness of the living worship, consistent word being shared and read. Whenever there is someone taking a break they stop with the word, bible open and looking to hear from the Lord.
It is refreshing to be in a place that is so busy, but that the Lord’s presence is so strong. I really accredit the flow and peace to the leadership here. They are solid, and not in a hurry, but they are moving things every day. Teams build 3-5 sheds a day which is really moving, they expect to see 150 people per day in the clinic and last night in the first day of ministry school there were over 30 people there for the teaching.
Right now one of the big needs medically is a mobile Eye Clinic. Sabrina looks at me and says “how can we get them down here?” I said “Well I can put the word out there and see who responds.” The need would be for the team to be completely mobile with all their gear in bags that can be moved quickly from one place to another.
Gotta go for today.
