My husband and I started a new journey a
little more than two weeks ago. And we are very excited about it. We prayed
about it. We fasted for it. We ask the Lord to guide and supply for our needs
and He has done it faithfully. Our hearts are overflowing with gratitude to
Him.
It has been for a while that we felt called to
become medical missionaries. So we prayed and fasted and asked God to lead and
show us what to do, where to go to get medical missionary training. This is how
we ended up coming to Centurion Ministries in Tennessee. We are 2.5 weeks into our training.
We have 1.5 weeks left and we are so happy with everything we have learned here
so far.
We started realising more and more the
importance of the medical missionary work for around a year. And we also realise
that the Medical Missionary work will be one of the last two works that will be
done until Jesus comes. And it is the thing that will open the door to many
hearts that will not open to the Gospel otherwise. Read this inspiring quotes:
"We
have come to a time when every member of the church should take hold of medical
missionary work." CME 10
When one thinks that this quote was written in
1902, how much more relevant it is for us today! And this is only one of the
many quotes that speak about this.
"Medical
missionary work is the pioneer work of the gospel, the door through which the
truth for this time is to find entrance to many homes. God’s people are to be
genuine medical missionaries, for they are to learn to minister to the needs of
both soul and body... As they go from house to house they will find access to
many hearts. Many will be reached who otherwise never would have heard the
gospel message." CCh 308
"I
wish to tell you that soon there will be no work done in ministerial lines but
medical missionary work... You will never be ministers after the gospel order
till you show a decided interest in medical missionary work, the gospel of
healing and blessing and strengthening...." Ev 523
"Some
utterly fail to realise the importance of missionaries being also medical
missionaries. A gospel minister will be twice as successful in his work if he
understands how to treat disease.... A minister of the gospel, who is also a
medical missionary, who can cure physical ailments, is a much more efficient worker
than one who cannot do this. His work as a minister of the gospel is much more
complete." Ev 519
We have ministered to souls to far. We have
done prayer ministry. We have been giving bible studies and teaching people about God. But we
realised that we are missing the medical missionary training in order to be
fully equipped. So we are happy that God opened this door for us.
We love the training that we are getting and
we would recommend anybody to join the four weeks training that lays a very good foundation for further study. It may seem short,
but it is very intense and one would learn things that are not usually taught
in other medical missionary schools. We love that it not only teaches you to be
a medical missionary in an institution, to be a leader and to do the work
on your own, to assess and treat naturally even the most difficult diseases like cancer in advanced stages.
Pray for us as we are starting this journey
and waiting for the Lord's leading when we are done. Even though there are
still many things to figure out about our future, we know that it is going
to be exciting working for God as medical missionaries.
