s wife Sepin were just 18 years old with a brand new baby when my co-worker Keri and I first arrived in their village.\u00a0 This young couple had already been through many difficult times, with the loss of both of Kamilus\u2019 parents and also their new little baby Alexia having been born with 2 club feet.\u00a0 Then, within weeks of our arrival in the village, Kamilus\u2019 teenage brother died from appendicitis, and tragically slipped into a Christless eternity. \nAs Kamilus and Sepin heard the truth about God and about sin and about their need for a Redeemer, they reached out and accepted God\u2019s gift of salvation quickly.\u00a0 It was amazing to see their hunger for God\u2019s Word as they listened to the Bible lessons.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Now many years later, Kamilus and Sepin have 7 children and are doing very well.\u00a0 A couple of years ago, they joined another family and became the first Mengen missionaries to their own people, moving to a village many hours hike away from home.\u00a0 It has been a time of growth for both families and they have experienced incredible hardship as they have seen a church planted in this new village.\u00a0 Although he is a quiet man, Kamilus has become a mature and godly leader.\u00a0 It is a blessing to see him interact with the believers and to see how much they respect his quiet leadership.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This week on Wednesday, I got a phone call from Kamilus\u2019 co-worker Bruce to say that Kamilus was deathly ill.\u00a0 It was terrifying news to get from a remote jungle location, knowing that there was no easy way for him to receive medical treatment.\u00a0 To make a long story short, two of the men from Islands region supply center\u00a0were able to drive many long hours through the night, over rugged roads, and were able to get to this distant village.\u00a0 Bruce told me the next day that while he was sitting by his house, it was like a miracle from heaven to see the truck come driving in out of the darkness.\u00a0 He was SO astonished.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Kamilus was very, very ill and in and out of consciousness.\u00a0 Praise the Lord that he was finally able to receive treatment at the hospital in town.\u00a0 The doctor told Bruce that they arrived at the hospital in the nick of time, as Kamilus was literally near death and had just a few hours to live.\u00a0 If we would have delayed until the next day, Kamilus would be in heaven with Jesus at this very moment.\u00a0 Praise the Lord for His goodness in sparing Kamilus\u2019 life and to arrive a myriad of tiny details so that he would be able to arrive at the hospital at the perfect time.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Now Kamilus is here recovering from his nasty intestinal bug.\u00a0 He is very weak, but he is moving around and eating a little.\u00a0 Within a few days, he should be on his feet and back to full strength again.\u00a0 Once Kamilus and Bruce return home, they will be starting the \u201cCreation to Christ\u201d teaching once again to a new group of people.\u00a0 They are excited to have at least 40 people who are hungry to hear the truth of God\u2019s Word.\u00a0 Out of those 40, at least 12 of them are young unmarried guys who live and work in that area!\u00a0\u00a0 I can\u2019t wait to hear what the Lord is going to do in the hearts of these guys and the others, as we see more Mengen people come to a saving knowledge of Christ.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
