It’s a cool rainy December night when I (Lori) join the Nazarene
Church of San Vicente in their bi-monthly outreach to hospitals in Ensenada 1+
hours north. It’s almost 8pm when we arrive. Hospital officials are okay with
the ministry but, insist that it needs to take place outside. We press against
the wall trying our best to squeeze under the overhang trying to avoid the raindrops.
When the rain lets up people emerge from the hospital waiting room to enjoy handmade
burritos and hot chocolate that the church ladies have prepared. Tonight, I’ll
be giving away hats as an extension of the on-going outreach to those waiting
to visit patients. As one lady chooses a hat, she asks if I could pray for the
side pain she is having. I gather five ladies from the team and we lift the
request to our healing Savior. Sprinkles of rain and the Holy Spirit fall.
Small groups form to minister and pray with individuals for the next several
hours.
