The Love
& Respect Ministry Team and pastor-translators traveled together to the
Malindi Hospital just in time for visiting hours. Our ministry time there was
intended to be a practical application of becoming acclimated to both
translation and being translated for while serving the Lord by praying for the
sick. I was assigned to the men’s ward and went with Pr Karisa, who has
translated for me in the past and who serves as a mentor to me and many pastors
in the Watamu Pastors’ Fellowship.
There we found three men handcuffed to their beds only to
learn they were prisoners from the Malindi Prison. I found this to be a Divine
connection as the following Sunday I would be serving with a few team members
in the Malindi Prison and have a connection to the chaplain there. Speaking the
chaplain’s name gave the prisoner-patients confidence in us as more than
strangers. We spent our visiting hour with these three men and believe that God
is bringing a special kind of healing to their lives.
Team Members and pastors, you are welcome to add your experiences
to the post as I could not be in all places at all times.
