The only hospital in all of Peru for cancer treatment…….
People on benches with sad faces, families desperate for
answers, women without hair……
A lady sitting in the waiting room on a wooden bench with
her head in her hands, a tube coming out of her knee draining blood into a bag……..then
the bag starts leaking all over the floor…….
An elderly man in a wheel chair waiting for a blood infusion……
A man that looks like his face is burned because half of his
face looks like charcoal where the cancer has eaten his face…….
A lady from a mountain town with a tumor the size of a mango
popping out of her chest…..
A granddaughter waiting for her grandfather in the ER……
A wife waiting to find out the results of what kind of
surgery needs to take place for her husband who just found out that he has lung
cancer………….
A mom excited that her son is doing good with his prostate
cancer……………..
A goddaughter waiting for her godfather to be treated for
his cancer……
A man brought in by friends, laid in a fleece blanket until
they could get him to a stretcher……
A man waiting outside in the heat on a stretcher to go home
to die because there are no more options for him medically….only a miracle from
the Lord will save his life…….
A woman crying and hugging her friends because of the bad
news that she received…….
A woman completely bald with a frown on her face waiting for
her doctor’s appointment
A girl with her group of friends donating blood for her aunt
that is dying……
My friend Aquilino leaving his house at 4 am ….. going to dr.’s
appts. all day to check on the tumor that he has in his stomach and to see how
his leukemia is doing…..then having to have a blood infusion for 4 hours….then
finally getting back home at 9:00 at night….
A hospital full of cancer patients…..dying, sick, desperate,
without hope……
But there is HOPE in Jesus Christ. I spent all day talking
with people, each of these scenarios above I personally witnessed and the
majority of these people I personally talked with, mainly listening to their
stories, and then praying for them for healing, and sharing the good news of
Jesus. I talked with people for about 5 hours that day about the gospel. I only
met 2 Christians in 5 hours. It broke my heart to watch people dying without
hope.
Would you pray with me for miracles for the people? That they would be
healed? More than that, would you pray that they would come to know the Savior
before it is too late? Would you pray that God would draw them to himself so
strongly that they decide to give their lives to Him for salvation? Would you
pray that we would figure out how we could incorporate this into our ministry
on a weekly or bi-weekly basis to visit this hospital and minister to the
people there? Thank you for joining us in your prayers. We are burdened for the
people that are in this hospital that they would be healed but more than that
they would come to know Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior.
