how much we will pay you for your week’s work here at the clinic?” He didn’t know. I said, “Dems, we will pay you 1,000 birr for the full week!”
He embraced me in a moment of spontaneous gratitude and kissed my neck. It was at that moment that the Holy Spirit quickly reminded me of my previously frustrated countenance and how I had reacted so poorly to my computer crash. In a revelatory moment of pure clarity, I repented to the Lord for my
selfishness and praised Him for the
multitudinous ways in which He has blessed my life. The Lord used the hope-enriched story of a young man named Dems and his willingness to impart his story into my life to correct my sullen, selfish, and narrowed perspective. If you have recently considered joining us on an outreach, please don’t delay. I know there are great costs
and sacrifices involved in coming with us to Ethiopia, India, or South America. But for each statistic that we publish celebrating the great achievements of our JVMI outreach teams, there are countless real-life stories that render us changed for a lifetime. I invite you to come with us on an amazing adventure of transformation and live beyond the numbers. Visit:
