What brings satisfaction?

As Christian we are to be content in all things. Phil. 4:11

Looking for positive things in life, what has God done for us individually, keeping it in mind helps to overcome difficult tasks in life.

Avoiding talking negatively about others and instead praising and giving thanks, helps our mind to be pure and filled with gratitude.

The condition of the mind affects the health of the physical system. If the mind is free and happy, from consciousness of rightdoing and a sense of satsifaction in causing happiness to others, it creates a cheerfulness that will react upon the whole system, causing a freer circulation of the blood and a toning up of the entire body. The blessing of God is a healing power, and those who are abundant in benefiting others will realize that wondrous blessing in both heart and life. (CCh 216.2)

Peace

In the heart of Christ, where reigned perfect harmony with God, there was perfect peace. True happiness is found in learning of Christ. Those who take at His Word and surrender the soul to His keeping, their lives to His ordering, will find peace and quietude. Nothing of the world can make them sad when Jesus makes them glad by his presence. It is the love of self that brings unrest.

God's original plan

The more nearly we come into harmony with God's original plan, the more favorable will be our position to secure health of our body and mind and soul.

Amisi died

Little Amisi went to sleep a week ago. Bethesda missionaries have been taking care for him for 2 months. He was hopeless before, but he found hope in God aswell as his mum. Last evening Bethesda missionaries came to wash him and prayed with him, and Amisi prayed with them. And at night he died. In the morning his mum admitted that Amisi surely died in peace with God. Praise the Lord!!

Have you unwavering trust in God? Lacking self-confidence, do you put your faith in Him, rejoysing that you are privileged to be His child, even to suffer for his dear sake? Rejoising in Christ as your seviour, pitiful, compassionate, and touched with the feeling of your infirmities, love and joy will be reveiled in your daily life. If you love Him who died to redeem mankind, you will love those for whom He died. A restful peace and happiness will fill your heart to overflowing when you believe that Jesus carries you and all your burdens. RH E.G.W

With what power and compassion Jesus cried, "If any man thirst, let him come unto Me, and drink."

Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keppeth the law, happy is he. Prverbs 29:18

On the 17th I cam from Kenya to Germany. 11 hour flight through Zanzibar to Frankfurt. Its really interesting feeling to be back in cold country and breethe fresh & cool air, and feel your body freezing sometimes. I already forgot the feeling of freezing.

God has been so merciful to me, all the time when I was in Africa. He protected me from all harm. I didnt got any diseases no snake bites, no rubberies, no big accidents. One day before leaving Africa I visited one very sick lady at her home. I was taken there with the motorbike. And I fell from the motorbike 2 times. The second time was bit worse, the driver wasnt very careful and find one hole and stucked in so that I fell on the side and burned my feet from one part of the motorbike. Anyway I am alive, and God has still purpose for me to fulfil.

"But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, that he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not, for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.

When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee; when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee." Isaiah 43:1,2

This is Hamisi. He is 12 years old.He is paralyzed from his chest to the feet. This happened when he fell down from a tree a year ago while hunting birds. His mother brought him to us one morning and what we saw was very sad. Hamisi has four big bed sores and one of the sores is on the spine and is so deep that you can see the spinal cord. This is the pictureon the left but is abit dark that you cannot easily see the spine through the hole.

By God´s grace we have been applying simple natural remedies like aloe vera with carrots and also massaging his legs for a better circualtion. The picture that you now see shows some great improvement as all the sores are getting abit smaller. It was not an easy situation to see the those big sores at the beginnning but through prayer,the Lord has strengthened us to minister to this poor boy.Please remember him in your prayers and we will update you of his condition.We are still continuing with the treatments and should the Lord impress you to give suggestions,we would be grateful.

'Have I not commanded thee? Be strong and of good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.' Joshua 1:9
Thanks to God I had a good journey to Mombasa despite that my all cash and bankcards were stolen in Madrid (I still had my passport and I could continue travel) and my suitcase arrived some days later (I had a very short time to change the plane in Cairo, so my suitcase didnt managed to the next plane). As I arrived the air was at first very strange humid and hard to breathe, but I got used to. I was most warmly welkommed at the airport and at the center.
Already next day we spent wonderful Sabbath day at Indian ocean.
Strange to think that its so hot all the time here and in Estonia its cold, and winter.
I have been for now councelling different ladies with their health complains. Its just amaizing feeling to introduce to those ladies 8 health laws, and pray with them for receiving strength and courage from God to implement the health laws in their life. Also we introduce to them natural remedies like garlic, turmerik, cayenne pepper, hydrotherapy, massage, exercises for the whole body. So later they are coming back and giving report how are the things proceiding and how do they feel after changing their habits. People are really willing to listen and try out. Many havent never heard that its possible to live more healthier and in this way get rid of their sicknesses. In many cases people are very poor to buy food and clean water, so they eat all the time the same food like Ugali (made from corn) and often drink water even from the river. Many children and grownups have health conditions like Astma becouse of bad hygiene and dusty air. In general people are easygoing and kind, having a lots of time to wait patiently when comes their turn to receive the health councel....I admire that.
This area where I stay is noisy all they long already at four in the morning the life starts with loud music.
I am just so much fond of this fresh fruits that we are eating here, papayas, mangos, avocados, passion fruits, coconuts ect. And just so surprised that locals are rarely eating their treasures like raw fruits and vegetables...they dont realise the precious value of them. Its written in the Bible: 'And to every beast of the earth, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.' Genesis 1:30
Many people cant afford buying Bibles and many dont know how to read. Usually I have been translated from English to Swahili by the local medical workers.
On Sunday we had outreach in one village...people came and we received lots of help through natural therapies and remedies. Straight after finishing it started to rain, and when we started to drive car driver just couldnt keep the car on the slippery clay road...and started to drive on the side of the road, sometimes car stucked so much in the pit that the help was needed, we prayed a lot, and I knew God had everything under control. Car driver was seemingly upset, but when we got out, he agreed that it should have been God who helped.
