What does God have in store…
for 11 month old Caroline, probably HIV positive, who spent 2 months in the hospital, and whose mother couldn't visit her because she was also sick in the hospital?
for 3 year old Masego suffering from asthma?
for Elizabeth, the stroke survivor, who believes in Christ, but also attends a church that worships ancestors?
for the little boy, Itumeleny, whose TB test was positive?
for 4 month old Mmatlala, who was in the hospital for the second time of her short life…..and who had also been taken to a sangoma and had the string around her waist?
for the young boy who was so upset when his mother had to leave that the nurses had to tie him to his hospital bed?
for 12 year old Violet, who attends a ZCC (Zion church includes ancestor worship), and was in the hospital for surgery?
for the 9-month old HIV positive girl?
for Prince with the burns all down his legs?
for Nonhlanhla who had skin grafts on her left leg?
for 40 year old Thulani, a teacher and new pastor who teaches Biblical truths?
for Samara, the practitioner, whose father was a missionary in South Africa and where she is now employed?
for Ann, the physiotherapist?
for Corinne, the 4th year pediatric medical student?
for the nurses and the doctors at Kalafong hospital?
Sometimes I wonder what God has in store for the people that I'm meeting while ministering at Kalafong Hospital. Some are following His truth and even teaching others how to walk in it; some are visiting witch doctors and/or attending churches that teach ancestor worship; some are still too young to make the choice for themselves, but are already being led astray.
So many different walks of life, yet only two destinations. How many will end this life having found God's truth and live as one forgiven?
