Health For Body and Soul

Do you recall where you were 11 years ago? I know that’s tough because we’re talking about 1998! Some of you reading this may not have even been born! I certainly was and so was my friend, Silvia.

In 1998, Silvia and about four of her friends were living in Encarnación, Paraguay when they realized that there was an estimated 13,000 people in that city who were extremely poor and desperate because they had very little food and absolutely no healthcare. Over the last 11 years this very dedicated group of people have been holding makeshift medical clinics in churches, schools and even underneath trees simply in an effort to provide healthcare for folks in need.

While I was visiting Paraguay for the first time recently, Silvia and her group approached me and asked if I would help build a clinic in Encarnación. If that stirs something within your spirit, then take a moment and pray about it then contact us at Rivers of the World (ROW).

Many people like Silvia throughout the world are finding creative ways to provide healthcare to people desperately in need. Did you know there is a direct correlation between a healthy spirit and body? In Proverbs 3:7-8 we read one way to accomplish both at the same time:

“Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.”

When we seek the wisdom of God, display a reverential fear of the Lord and actively reject the evil of this world it will not only provide health to our spiritual bodies but we will also experience well-being throughout our physical bodies.
