I've been serving single on the field for 20 years and yet I found advice here that was new and helpful. I appreciate the thoughts and hope to incorporate some of your suggestions when I return to the field. I found this link through Mobile Member Care Team. Thank you so much for this.

]]> Comment on Helping the Poor by Kim http://peterswife.org/?p=565&cpage=1#comment-297 Kim Fri, 06 Aug 2010 03:30:52 +0000 http://peterswife.org/?p=565#comment-297 This has been a challenge for me as I do cross-cultural ministry stateside. As a family we are among the lower income people here ourselves yet we work with those much less fortunate. Handouts, however have not proven good for others, and affects our own kids. 'BANK' was what it seemed others saw written all over my forehead! Yet without skills and stewardship, the money given would be gone in a day and any spare money would be only a memory serving neither us nor them and lives would not have been changed. I would, however, do handouts were when I was wanting to get rid of a bunch of things in the house. I passed these on to the closest person who could use the items or who had means to pass them on to others. It helped both sides out! In cases like that I would get involved with material items. I have found translating has been a way I have been able to serve...opening the people up to services that can help them. (Some would skip court dates, or not read important mail. The consequences were unnecessary and preventable when they could understand the messages being sent.) Translating is something I can do to serve my community as well as the immigrants here. As a believer, my translations are fair, done with integrity, honesty, and with an understanding that it is not 'us' against 'them' but that together we can usually find a peaceable solution. I often get opportunities to share the gospel message and/or principles from the Bible that apply to situations. I have lots to learn, however, regarding ministry to the poor!

I was a late bride. My marriage has been so difficult. My husband has been emotionally absent from me most of my marriage. He refers to his adult children and ex-wife whenever he needs feedback or help. I had heard that God would fill the shoes of a "father" and am please to be reminded that he will also be one's spouse. Thank you for opening my eyes to the Greatness of the Lord. Hi Finike, your post on Ishi was so inspirational to me. I was a late bride. My marriage has been so difficult.

My husband and I have been serving with OM for the past almost 6 years in Carlisle, England. I honestly had no idea how difficult it would to call 'new dwelling' home. Still struggle with it. I just finished reading the book <em>Dwelling: Living Fully from the Space You Call Home</em> by Mary Beth Lagerborg. Great blessings, Dawn Hello, hello,

It's my frist time that I opened your web site after came back from the retreat in Zhangzhou. It's so mriacle! I felt that God wants to talk to me that he knows my faith is not strong enough. One of my believers had called me, I did not know how she knows that I did not stand in faith a few months ago. Anyway, I felt the faith is touching me tonight. Thank you for your sharing.

I am a woman approaching a 25th wedding anniversary, with a man who hated me for most of my marriage. I will be celebrating, however, "with bells on", wondering how I got over! However, within the past week, the Lord instructed me to read Hosea, for the millionth time. This time, the Lord allowed me to find myself, Gomer, as a spiritual infidel. He allowed me to see Him as the "lover of my soul"; My Husband; the One who will never leave me or forsake me--even though I've had my "lovers"...the things and people that I have placed before Him. He just stands back, waiting in the wings, so that when we finally decide to make up our minds to truly love Him back, He's still there. I am so glad to know, my dear sister, that He sees us as His Bride, not servants, anymore. I'm glad that I "ran into you"...even though I'm married, I know exactly how you feel! My husband falls short, only because he's human. He has been abusive to me and has been with other women, throughout our marriage...which is indeed a blessing. I will be able to minister to broken-hearted women, married or single. I want to introduce their Lord God as their Ishi, too! With Warmest Regards, Jacqueline Praise God!

I am a woman approaching a 25th wedding anniversary, with a man who hated me for most of my marriage.

I will be celebrating, however, “with bells on”, wondering how I got over!

However, within the past week, the Lord instructed me to read Hosea, for the millionth time.

This time, the Lord allowed me to find myself, Gomer, as a spiritual infidel.

He allowed me to see Him as the “lover of my soul”; My Husband; the One who will never leave me or forsake me–even though I’ve had my “lovers”…the things and people that I have placed before Him.

He just stands back, waiting in the wings, so that when we finally decide to make up our minds to truly love Him back, He’s still there.

I am so glad to know, my dear sister, that He sees us as His Bride, not servants, anymore.

I’m glad that I “ran into you”…even though I’m married, I know exactly how you feel!

My husband falls short, only because he’s human. He has been abusive to me and has been with other women, throughout our marriage…which is indeed a blessing.

I will be able to minister to broken-hearted women, married or single. I want to introduce their Lord
God as their Ishi, too!

With Warmest Regards,

Jacqueline
