As the devil tried to stop the outreach by taking the bus, the equipment, the first-aid kits, and most of the medical team, our sovereign Lord with His mighty provisions and healing powers was ever present Thursday evening for the first CitW medical mobile unit. The Lord provided only two medical missionaries and one missionary for the registration table, food, clothing, prayer and God's Word. The needs of His lambs were met perfectly, as only He can do.
The Lord used the nurse not only as a medical professional but her gift of the Spanish language. The lambs eyes widened at her ability to translate for the doctor their needs and questions, as well as the doctor's recommendations. Several of the Lord's lambs needed further treatment and were given referrals. These lambs need "driving angels" to provide transportation for these referrals. The rest were treated on site. The next mobile medical outreach will be the 4th Thursday in August. The medical missionary team, whether 2 or 20, needs supplies - such as a blood pressure cuff, ear thermometer, a glucometer, and over-the-counter medications - antibacterial ointments, antifungal creams, etc.
The Lord's lambs were blessed with a dinner and an opportunity to have one-on-one question & answer time discussing Jesus and prayer with a missionary while waiting for the doctor and nurse.
Lambs called missionaries on vacation to ask for prayer because the medical team found problems in need of treatment and/or further testing. The lambs were both frightened and grateful.
Missionaries returned from vacation to hear from lambs how someone answered their prayers for a crock-pot and groceries. The couple was so blessed by the generosity of their sister in Christ as she took the time to deliver God's provisions and pray with them.
Another lamb has been in alcohol treatment for 10 days. The Lord blessed missionaries Saturday with a special visit, not even having to go through orientation. The Lord and His planning angels knew missionaries weren't able to make the orientation due to other commitments. Another missionary was able to see this lamb on Sunday. These missionaries were also able to have church members sign cards to be given to this lamb as he continues treatment out of town for a few months. The counselors at the treatment center were blessed by the "support circles" this lamb has through his church and Church in the Woods. The counselor said, "I wish all of my patients had this kind of support. He will probably make it because of the support." This is the second time this month an organization has commented on the benefits of having an involved "support circle".
Each week lambs are bringing more lambs to church; some from the Cary Oxford home, some from Raleigh Rescue, some the Lord used the church to provide housing. Sunday the Lord blessed missionaries with a full house for lunch and the entire flock was able to stay to watch a Christian movie. The flock loved the movie feeling it was realistic, touching many aspects of inner city temptations. Some were so touched they borrowed the movie to be seen at Raleigh Rescue mission. The leftover food was sent to a Cary Oxford home. Groceries were sent home with others.
The Lord has provided movie passes this week for 20+ lambs. He also provided sack dinners and "driving angels". Missionaries began praying for popcorn because what's a movie without popcorn. A call was received from a mother. Her teenage son wanted to give his tithe to missionaries to be used any way needed. So now the Lord has even provided the popcorn. The Lord takes care of every detail!
Please pray for the Lord's lamb who is a paraplegic and wants a "driving angel" to bring him to and from church every week.
Please pray for the Lord's lambs in the woods this week as the temperature rise to 100 or higher.
