"And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matt 28:18-20 ...."and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal." Luke 9:2

Sunday Spiritual Rounds
So today is Sunday and we go to the hospital for spiritual rounds where we pray at the bedside with each patient and share the gospel. There is a retired Ortho doc (Carl Albertson) from our mobile church (Grace) who comes here w his wife for 6 months every year and he started the Sunday spiritual rounds. We have translators who are young men that are amazing Christians. Dr. Albertson has a pt in the men's ward who is a paraplegic from a recent injury who was a choir director. He has been asking and encouraging the man to try and lead some praise music for a couple weeks and today he finally did from his bed in the men's ward. The result is one of the most uplifting encouraging experiences I have ever been a part of. The voices of everyone praising their savior were ringing out until the ward was flooded w people singing gods praises. These are people who walk here for days in desperation to seek care they often can't afford and leave behind family with worries for how they will even eat when they are gone, but what joy they still have in Christ!! This picture is of the young men in their early 20's that translated for us. I videoed the first 5-6 minutes and will definitely upload it to my google share when I can. The video starts on the paraplegic choir director. Praise be to God! -Lee
