The “featured image” captured at dusk betrays the real suffering taking place inside these wards. In the story of the Persistent Widow of Luke 18:1-8, Jesus said the judge finally responded to her plea not because he feared God nor man, but only because she kept “bothering” (ESV) him. Persistent prayer and action are the keys to genuine faith (James 2) and answered prayer. It is not a “bother” to God; but sometimes it is a bother to us. As you read this month’s newsletter, please forgive me for “bothering” you about the needs of the Chimala Mission. Only until you see inside these wards can you really understand why I keep asking. Thank you for reading.
