Remember Ambassadors

There is nothing better than seeing God’s hand at work, and nothing has been more clear this trip. Though we make plans, His are so much better than ours.

Our local contacts have told us, “That shouldn’t have happened…” and “That could only be the Lord…” more times than I can count. Sometimes it has been overt miracles - and not the “minor” sort, either - and sometimes it has just been the outpouring of God’s love through His people. Either way, and both ways, His hand has been so evident.

It is Monday evening here now, and tomorrow morning we will be setting up our first clinic. It may be slow as we figure out how to transport the Iraqi Christian refugees to our doctors, but future days will hold even more.

On behalf of our whole team, thanks for your prayers - they are opening God’s doors for us.

The refugee crisis in Iraq has gotten a lot of news attention, but the problem is, the crisis is not getting better.  Violence in Iraq continues to target Christians with oppression, forcing many to flee.  USAToday ran a June 30 story detailing the ongoing problem.

These are the folks that we want to focus on as we head to Jordan just days from now.
