FREEDOM IN CHRIST

Even in the most desperate situation, we try to share the gospel. This is exactly true at the In Deed and Truth ministry clinic. Of course the patients come here with an aim of getting treatment. We seize the opportunity and share the gospel. Such happened yesterday Pst Judah (who happens to be my translator most of the time) and i did a demonstration of how sin has a grip on us as human beings - we were using the verse in Romans3:23,"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God". We called one of the guys, used a string to tie his hands and feet and passed the string around his neck. I asked him to untie himself and he couldn't. I called one of the health workers(Joseph) to  untie him as i explained that such is what Jesus did for us when he died at the cross. We also quoted from Romans 6:23,"For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is everlasting life through Christ Jesus our Lord" We assured them that if the call upon the Name of the Lord they shall be saved even as the scripture tells us so.The patients were glad that we shared with them the gospel, and prayed with them. Besides sharing the gospel orally, we also ensure that the patients get a gospel tract written in Dinka. We know it is a challenge for some of them to read such material since they do not know how to. But we hope and pray that they will read this material or get someone to read for them and that the Lord will speak to them.
     One of the challenge though is how to reach the men since most of those who come at the clinic are women and children. Pray that the Lord will lead us on how to reach to the men, especially the former SPLA fighters who spend most of their time drinking.
