The sixth patient of the day was Delores. She appeared very sad and very sick............and I soon found out why. She is 46 years old and has three children. Her children are very sick and her husband spends a lot of time and money drinking. She has a lot of struggles in her life.
When we arrived at the time to finish the consult, I noticed the form was blank about what church or faith that Delores has. So, I asked her if she attended a church or believed in God. She told me that she did not attend a church but lately had been thinking that this was something that she needed to do.
I talked with her for awhile about different things. Many times in our life, if things are going well, we do not have time for God. If we have good health, our family is well, have a good job and sufficient money we may not see a need to pray or to believe in God, Then, when things begin to fall apart, what is the first thing that people want to do? They want to pray for their needs and to know that God is answering that prayer. We all need hope!
Delores said that she would like someone to visit her in her home. She told us that she can read but does not have a Bible. We arranged for Gaspar to visit her and her family the very next day! Gaspar will take a Bible to her and then they will have the opportunity to study together.
Before she left, Teresa gave her directions to where the Church of Christ meets in Chijtinimit.
This is the whole purpose of Health Talents.......to show people the love of Christ and to use the scriptues to teach people about eternal life.
Well known verse: For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16).
Please pray that when Gaspar visits this home, that he will find people with open hearts and minds. Each and every person needs the hope of eternal life.
