Last year at the medical mission conference I had the honor and blessing of meeting Steve Saint - a great man of God (see http://partnersforcare.blogspot.com/2011/11/meeting-extraordinary-man.html) . Steve is the son of Nate Saint, one of the five matryed missionaries whose story is told in End of the Spear. Steve understands how to help without hurting and lives with his live to spread the good news of Jesus. A week ago Steve was injured and suffered a spinal injury. He has limited movement of his arms and legs. Tomorrow he is having surgery to relieve pressure on his spine hopefully to relieve some of his pain. I have forwarded to you the recent update I received...watch the video. Hear from Steve himself how he is and how he is still spreading the news of how to help in a developing nation. I only pray if my life suddenly changed as Steve's did that I would have the courage and the faith he has. Even in his pain and fear, he is telling others of the good news of Christ.
Praying for Steve -

One thing I love about my role with Partners for Care....
One thing I love about my role with Partners for Care is meeting with people who have a passion to help others. Sometimes it is a young person like Jonah. Jonah is a 15 year old boy who needed to do a service project for his Bar Mitzvah.. Jonah wanted to do something different from the typical service projects. He decided to collect soccer equipment to send to kids in a developing nation. He contacted Peace Passers who connected him with us. We met Jonah and his Mom last week and they gave us:
95 pair soccer shoes
35 soccer balls
30 pairs shin guards
and many other pieces of soccer equipment
The photo tells the story.
Thanking God for kids like Jonah who work hard to help equip the Partners for Care team in Kenya to reach the youth through their sports ministry,
