“…AND WHENEVER YOU WANT, YOU CAN DO GOOD FOR THEM.” Mar 14v7
Casting Crowns
sung a contemporary conscience-awakening and heart-searching song in which pertinent
questions are asked specifically to Christians. Some lines go something like,
“If we are the body, why aren’t his arms reaching; why aren’t his hands healing;
why aren’t his words teaching? And if we are the body, why aren’t his feet
going; why is his love not showing them there’s a way?” It makes one feel
ashamed for not doing as much as they, or their ministry, should be doing. There
are times when it hurts to be associated with Hope Ministry, especially if you
were chairperson, because of its average or below performance (and that’s a
personal assessment). I penned a poem about the poor and it’s placed at the end
and this drawing is by talented Sunday Bwalya, a third year University of
Zambia student of Economics and member of Hope.
However, every member of Hope Ministry (one
of the evangelising ministries of Kabwata Baptist Church) would attest that
every visit to the University Teaching Hospital (UTH) Children’s Cancer Ward is
uniquely interesting and fulfilling.
