I have wanted to tell you all about the Global Mission Health Conference, but I am having some trouble writing it out. It has been hard for me to put thoughts onto paper so that is why the lack of writing.

The GMHC was truly awesome. There was so much to see and do. I got to spend time with my friend Ken (we drove from MT. Vernon to Louisville together). I met Katie, Becca, Daryl, and Lindsay for the first time, even though we have been FaceBook friends for a long time. I got to “network” with a bunch of vendors and mission related organizations.

I was privileged to hear some very good speakers both in the main sessions and the breakout sessions.

I also got to hear God reconfirm His calling in my life for health missions in Brazil.

I will write more about the conference in my November Newsletter. Be looking for that at the end of November.

Peace

This week I will be attending the Global Mission Health Conference in Louisville, Kentucky.  I have been looking forward to this conference for a while now and for several reasons.  First I get to spend time with Ken Trezise (I worked with Ken in Brazil), second the conference itself and all that it is, third spending time with other medical missionaries, and fourth and most important it is about how to share God’s love through medical mission “so that others may live”!

You can follow me on FaceBook Paul’s Mission to Brazil and Twitter @junglemedic.  So if modern technology is working I will post updates via my cell phone.

Please be praying for us this week, both Ken and I as we travel, and the conference itself.

Blessings!

Hello Friends,

This is the lesson for September 22 from “My Utmost for His Highest” by Oswald Chambers.  This is my Goal as a missionary

“Behold, we go up to Jerusalem.” Luke 18:31

In the natural life our ambitions alter as we develop; in the Christian life the goal is given at the beginning, the beginning and the end are the same, viz., Our Lord Himself. We start with Christ and we end with Him – “until we all attain to the stature of the manhood of Christ Jesus,” not to our idea of what the Christian life should be. The aim of the missionary is to do God’s will, not to be useful, not to win the heathen; he is useful and he does win the heathen, but that is not his aim. His aim is to do the will of his Lord.

In Our Lord’s life Jerusalem was the place where He reached the climax of His Father’s will upon the Cross, and unless we go with Jesus there we will have no companionship with Him. Nothing ever discouraged Our Lord on His way to Jerusalem. He never hurried through certain villages where He was persecuted, or lingered in others where He was blessed. Neither gratitude nor ingratitude turned Our Lord one hair’s breadth away from His purpose to go up to Jerusalem.

“The disciple is not above his Master.” The same things will happen to us on our way to our Jerusalem. There will be the works of God manifested through us, people will get blessed, and one or two will show gratitude and the rest will show gross ingratitude, but nothing must deflect us from going up to our Jerusalem.

“There they crucified Him.” That is what happened when Our Lord reached Jerusalem, and that happening is the gateway to our salvation. The saints do not end in crucifixion: by the Lord’s grace they end in glory. In the meantime our watchword is – I, too, go up to Jerusalem.

I have currently raised 43% of my monthly budget, which means I am still in need of $1250.00 in monthly support. You may be asking, “why is Paul going to Brazil and why should I support him?” I am answering God’s call for what He wants me to do for Him; to show the people of Brazil His glory and love and to share His compassion. Mission work is a form of worship. I am worshiping God, praising and honoring Him through medical mission. Therefore you can join me in worshiping God through missions by supporting this mission. You can join me in furthering the Kingdom of God in Brazil. Any support, it does not matter how much, is greatly appreciated. There is support information on the right side of the page or visit the “Support Info” page for more detailed information.

Blessings, Paul
