e3 Medical: Preparing for 2023!

Posted a week ago

God has faithfully answered our prayers this year, even those we didn't pray!
As we move into 2023 we pray we will faithfully follow His plans!
Thank you for being faithful prayer warriors and supporters!

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13 This joy and peace can only come from our Lord!

Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. Hebrews 13:21 He will equip us to do what He needs us to accomplish!

We appreciate your prayers for a team leaving mid-January to work with refugees in Greece. We have a large team of which half are nursing students. We anticipate God has great plans for this team!  Thank you!

Many thanks for your very generations donations to assist with a major heart procedure. We are halfway to our goal! Our Brother "R" does not know about this effort to assist him. He told me yesterday, he knows God has a plan for him. Thank you!

The update from two days ago: We learned today the one of our very important Middle East national leaders needs a major heart procedure that could cost up to $9000. He is in a bad situation because as a pastor there he has not insurance. God has and continues to use him in an amazing way starting new house churches throughout this country! We know has a plan for “R’s” life!

• in-person and via Zoom, we shared the Gospel and watched multitudes come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior!

Exciting news ...a real trip!!

Posted a week ago

We are excited that three, maybe four of us will be able to go to the Middle East in May.  We will be doing a combination of strategy development, ministry and some medical with local doctors.

Please join us in
1. Praising the Lord for what He has been doing in this country and for our national team who work tirelessly for Him!
2. Praising the Lord for those able to go!
3. Please pray for
    a. all the pieces and parts to come together quickly ...it is a shortly preparation time!
    b. for those we will meet to encourage, minister to and share God's love.
    c. for favor with authorities in the country as we enter and minister.

Additional prayer request. Since we have such a small team, we could use your assistance in helping to defray the costs to cover two days of medical supplies, two days of ministry to families and women, translator and transportation costs. Because churches are not allowed to gather at this time, we will be required to rent a location for any ministry work.  We are hoping to raise $5000 in additional funding.

Mostly we covet your prayers for what God will be doing among those who do not believe in Him.

Thank you!

Anne Lucas, Director e3 Medical

Feeding the hungry . . . being a disciple of Christy

Posted a week ago

Our Brother met a Middle Eastern refugee family wandering with no place to go, no food, no money. As he talked with them in their native language, he learned their harrowing story of escaping evil in their homeland. They came to Europe seeking refugee and hope for a safer and better life. 
Our Brother took them for a meal, then to the grocery store to purchase food supplies for a couple of weeks. He told them this was a gift from Jesus. The man broke down and cried. 
The wife was wearing a worn out pair of men's shoes that someone gave her. Our Brother was able to get her a pair of women's shoes that fit.
The little boy shyly asked if he could have some chocolate <smile> ...of course he got his wish!

How does this apply to medical missions? Healing comes in many forms, including giving hope, caring for the basic needs of people: physically, mentally and emotionally.

They have been open to hearing more about this God who loves them, this God who sees their situation. AND this God who sent a Brother to meet their needs because Brothers and Sisters in the USA were willing to share in ministry.

Thank you! God bless you! You were part of giving Hope, a bit of happiness and in sharing the Gospel!

Medical supplies - physical, emotional and spiritual healing

Posted a week ago

As our teams works with our national partners, we continue to assess ways in which we can help people throughout the world in a tangible way which opens doors to pray for their needs and share with them the love of God.

In the past few months, we have used funds your have donated to help 

• refugee children with scabies and impetigo get the medicine they need - we covered the cost.
  
• assist a greatly abused woman in getting to a safe haven - emotional healing. She learned just how much Jesus loves her!
• assist in covering the cost of blood pressure and diabetes medications in the Middle East --they didn't have the funds to cover the cost, no job, no income. They learned about Jesus!
• provided tennis shoes and food for children in the Middle East who live on the streets. 

2020 a few lessons learned

Posted a week ago

2020 Lessons Learned ... a few of them!

When it looks like the world is totally out of control and totally unsalvageable ....God shows up in His mighty power!

We couldn't go, but

• we sent the funds to help the Nationals continue the work.
• we meet virtually several times a week with our National Partners to encourage and pray with them ...they are praying for us, too!
• we watched as our National Partners shared scripture, prayed, washed feet, showed God's love through tangible means such as food supply packages.

We learned ...and are learning: (just a few of the many)

• Hearts hardened against God have been softened and opened because one of our national team members showed compassion and love and shared God's Word.
• Over 200 Muslims heard the Gospel in East Africa and 30 Bible study groups have been started!
• Refugee women and children have been removed from abusive situations in camp.
• Refugee children have once again laughed and played as children should at a party with snacks, balloons and gifts for each one.
• 100 of the poorest of poor Arabic children received new shoes and food.
• 390+ Arabic women joined in Bible studies and had their feet washed as they learned the importance of loving one another. Wives and mothers who are training up the next generation.
• Tough, strong Arabic men have broken down and cried because a Christian man prayed with him and washed his feet and told him God knows the challenges he is facing with no job and no food. Food supply packages were delivered to his home.

My cup runneth over with thankfulness to the Lord and to you for being a part of this "different and creative" way of being engaged in missions. Opportunity abounds regardless of our circumstances!

God is writing a book - who you have impacted!

Posted a week ago

Our lives are forever interwoven.

God is writing a book for each of us. Other people have the same chapter as we do because our lives are connected, our stories are forever intertwined. These are eternal stories that will remain forever.

The lives of those e3 Medical touches through your donations are forever a part of the book being written of your life. One recent way we were able to help.

At ten years old a middle eastern girl was forced to marry a much older man. She had her first child at 11 years old. The man was abusive. Many painful years later about the beginning of 2020, they escaped their country due to political violence. They slipped into Greece seeking refuge.

In July 2020, one of our Refugee Partners met the woman, now 20 as she was walking aimlessly on the street outside the large refugee camp. She was obviously distraught. Our Partner asked if she needed help. Her husband was allowing others to abuse her in the camp. Our Partner was able to connect her with a group that supports women in these situations.

She has become open to listening as our Partners share the Gospel. They have provided her with food, clothing, medicine and a means of protection from abuse. Someone gave her a cross pendant. She found a chain and wears it around her neck. She said it makes her feel closer to Jesus.

Your funds make a difference in the lives of others. I can't wait to see how God is using you and those you serve.

This is not her picture, in order to protect her identify, but she looks very similar to this. You are now part of the book God is writing for her! Pray she comes to know just how much God loves her!

Light dispelling the darkness

Even during a pandemic, our "Light" can shine for Jesus! Thank you for being that light and helping to keep that light spreading throughout the world with your donations and prayers! Hundreds of families have received food supply kits, medicine refills along with much needed prayer and the Gospel! Our national partners and their families have continued ministry with our support and encouragement from here!

Thank you!

The Widow's Mite . . . or in this case, the Pastors' Mite

Virtual teams + National leaders = being the hands and feet of Jesus

Posted a week ago

As our US-based leaders daily work with our in-country national leaders, we have learned bitter sweet stories of how these leaders, pastor and lay leaders are caring for their communities and church families during shelter-at-home.

They are so thankful for the financial assistance you have given to help them provide food to the starving and medicine for hypertension and diabetes. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being a part of meeting these critical needs. As our national leaders give the food and medicine, they are praying and sharing the Gospel. In cases where they are able, they are providing Bibles. One pastor in eastern part of the world has said he needs 20,000 - 50,000 Bibles to distribute with food. God's Word goes forth in the midst of chaos!

In so many countries, persecution is becoming even more harsh as authorities apparently are taking the opportunity to use COVID-19 as a reason to clamp down on Christ followers. 

In several situations, non-Believers are coming to pastors and lay leaders for assistance with food and medicine. They are they reporting to authorities that the pastor prayed for them. Pastors and lay leaders are being arrested. 

Please pray for Christian leaders to remain strong in their faith, for them to have the resources they need to feed the hungry and provide medications to those in need.

May we all get a glimpse of how God is using this pandemic for His glory and His honor!!

Easter ...how blessed we are! Even quarantined!

Posted a week ago

Self-distancing, stay-at-home, shelter-in-place mandates, quarantined! Those are words we have rarely, if ever heard in our country! This Easter most of us will be gather with only 2 or 3 ...maybe just one. But how blessed we are that we can join worship services around the world through the internet!

A small group of us did a video conference call with nationals from one country this week. They continue to tell us how much they are praying for our nation! We are praying for them! They are struggling to meet the needs of people who were in dire circumstances before COVID-19 ---now people are desperate for food and medicines. They have no job, no means of support and their governments are not as blessed as ours. Pharmacies cannot get medicines because of the shelter-in-place mandates of their governments.

Looking back at 2018 ....thank you!

Needed to serve refugees in Greece

Posted a week ago

We have a unique opportunity in two weeks while serving refugees and Greeks in need. A new church partner has asked us to not only have a medical clinic that week, but to prayer walk the community and.....  

On Sunday evening, the refugees who the church serves would like to have what they call a Culture Night.  They would prepare meals from their various countries ...Syria, Afghanistan, Somalia, Iran, etc. They would serve the refugee, Greek community and us! After the meal they will share some of their stories. Our team will also be able to tell our stories!

We were not even certain we would be able to hold a medical and eye clinic, much less get this amazing opportunity. God has opened amazing doors!!

We have a need!!  The church cannot afford to cover the cost of the food and supplies for the Culture Night ....and additional medical supplies. There is a large refugee camp nearby...we have no idea how many people might show up!! 

We need an additional $1,200.  If the Lord lays this need on your heart, please donate on this page. Put a note in the Comment Section: Greece refugees.

Please pray as we prepare to leave next week!!

Thank you!  Anne Lucas and the Greece team!

This is one of our veteran mission nurses, Joy Deal loving on a Syrian refugee baby.

Your gifts to support our medical mission trips are critical to our serving! These supplies are used for

*children and adult vitamins
*antibiotics
*Tylenol and ibuprofen

It is difficult to grasp how a small gift like those items above can make a change in the hearts and openness of those we serve. We often are asked by the patients: "How much does this cost"?  Our response:  "This is a gift from God. All you need to do is accept it." 

This opens the door to share the greatest gift of all ....Jesus!
