Those who attended the Saturday morning service at the 2015 International Celebration of Missions were privileged to hear from WGM missionary Dr. Michael Johnson. Michael, along with his wife, Kay, serve with Out of Nazareth ministries in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, working with medical and community development in an urban setting.
Michael and Kay were serving at Tenwek Hospital in Kenya before a medical condition forced them to move back to the United States. Even though it was a difficult time of transition, they knew that the Lord was repurposing them for the next step in ministry.
They began working with the least of these in Philadelphia, following the Lord's call on their lives. "He's got the whole world in His hands." Michael challenged us to continue to love and serve the least, not just the people who are easy to reach. The lost, the broken, the murderers, and the abortionists are all in HIS hands.
In working with Miriam Medical Clinics, Michael has the opportunity to accept patients who normally would not be able to receive medical coverage. They are able to reach people with little health insurance, inadequate health insurance, or even no health insurance at all. What an opportunity to share the love of Christ to those who need it most!
If we continue to look at the world the way God does, with every single person in His hands, new opportunities for ministering to the least of these will arise.
ACT: Challenge yourself to share the hope of Christ to those you do not like, the lost, the broken, the downtrodden, and the used. These people need to hear the Good News and they're ALL in His hands!
