It amuses and instructs us when medical science “catches up” with the everlasting truths that our Lord already revealed through His Word. In recent years, much has been written about neuroplasticity in the brain. Gratitude and positive thinking grow neuron networks in the left prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain that helps us seek solutions to problems. As we travel along seeding the hope that comes with the Gospel through Community Health Evangelism, we are learning the power of thanksgiving. Learn it with us to hold onto what is good, grow some neurons, and solve some problems. We bid all who read a daily, Happy Thanksgiving!

Growing Things
Growing the Kingdom of God demands growing more than filling church buildings or so-called worship centers. Equipping the church to obey every command of Jesus unselfishly means believers learn to manage plants, work relationships, and animals among other created things. All must be managed as worship to God to facilitate the apparent dominion of Jesus over all things to all persons. Greedy decisions that often cause loss rather than gain are overcome by persevering saints.
Haves to Share
Prayer and guidelines for circumstances help us identify the strategic pathways God uses to direct our service in this world. Debbie and Verlin now have ‘haves to share’ (stories, tickets, and truths) in America after 3.5 years of residing again in West Africa for ministry.
Contagions
The father of lies spreads falsehoods to incubate suffering and death. Medical missionaries serve on the frontline in battles against fear, ignorance, and deception. They bring health, hope, and healing so people escape the deadly consequences of Satanic lies.
Genuine Help
Bringing genuine health, hope, and healing through the Gospel of Jesus-Christ demands more than providing modern medical services. Such a witness requires wholistic health messaging to be effective in changing physical, social, mental, and spiritual realities in a targeted milieu. The messaging needs to reinforce good practices by identifying their best practices rather than summarily dismiss all habits unfamiliar to the medical professional as useless. To genuinely help heal given individuals and their population requires that they are saved to redeem their world and their perspectives. Pray with the Andersons as they identify the good to reinforce in Cote d’Ivoire while minimizing social support for what is harmful to good health.
Unseen Power
Many apparent good works turn out to be ‘flashes-in-the-pan,’ as the light used with 19th century circa cameras. Enduring good works happen in ways that parallel electrical current lighting. Individual believers transformed by the Good News of Jesus Christ create currents that enlighten truth and power change.
Servants Leading
Many in our times use talk of popularized principles of servant leadership to galvanize different followings. Few rub shoulders with servants who lead ministries that transform lives to learn how the institutions of family, church, and government service change for the better. The majority in this world think a domineering “strong man” form of leadership is a “must-have” to establish organizational direction. Nothing could be farther from the truth when establishing institutions that endure and dominate through centuries. Read how enduring change happens in the Republic of Cote d’Ivoire in West Africa through a CHSC ministry.
