Talk 2 Thursdays ago (5/19)

For those of you who unfortunately couldn’t join us two Thursdays ago (5/19), I’m finally posting a summary of the night =) b/c it was definitely a powerful and challenging evening. Dr. Hawkins, a doctor who does diabetes research here at Einstein and has blessed our fellowship (and me) in many different ways, showed us pictures of her medical missions trip to Guatemala a few months ago. She shared about her initial reluctance to go but how God really showed her the great need the people had there for trained physicians of all specialties, diabetes in her case. She provided a few vignettes of the individuals she encountered. One particular humorous story involved a man who had diabetes while his wife had some respiratory problems. It turned out that the culprit for the man’s diabetes was the 5 tortillas he ate with each meal while the culprit behind the wife’s breathing problems came from the fumes she breathed in while cooking her husband’s tortillas! Overall, her medical team was able to see 680 patients that whole week. They were able to pray with each patient which was also quite remarkable. However, she stressed the need for prayer and quiet time with the Lord which, unfortunately, was lacking during part of the trip which led to some feelings of tension and burn-out.

 

We also had some surprise visitors show up. They were part of the Einstein adult fellowship consisting of Einstein faculty which we, the ignorant students, had not known to exist (but now we do!). Two of them, Juan and Miguel, had gone on a different missions trip to Guatemala also. We were encouraged by how dedicated they were to the mission the Lord had sent them on. In preparation, they had prayed and fasted, essentially gearing up for battle. While there, they saw God’s miracles and wonders overcome a lot of spiritual darkness, especially since many in the rural areas of Guatemala still practice witchcraft. God was able to use them mightily to heal and serve people-physically, spiritually, and emotionally. Overall, Juan and Miguel saw the Holy Spirit do a lot of amazing things there that you rarely hear about here in the States but more out of Acts. They left us with the impression that indeed the “harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few” and encouraged us to consider organizing a medical mission trip to the places they visited, many in the rural areas that lacked even basic knowledge of hygiene. At the end, they left us with a great opportunity to serve the people in Guatemala. The contacts they have there would be able to organize food, shelter, and transportation. All we would need to figure out would be a time to go and the only thing we would have to pay for is our plane ticket there. All of us were excited about the opportunity, especially Dr. Hawkins, so keep posted on future updates! On another note, while missions trips are great and all, I feel God is challenging us (especially me) to be spiritually prepared now while on this campus b/c our mission field is wherever we are at.

Bye Eddie and Jen!

Last night was Eddie and Jen's last night at ECF. Eddie led the 2nd part of a bible study entitled "Christ and Culture" 

 

After ECF, we went to the Bronx Diner for fellowship and food.
 

We wish the couple the best of God's blessings and pray that they will flourish where the Lord has led them (Virginia) in the next phase of their lives together. Keep in touch guys!!

 

Get together this Saturday

Hi everyone!
We will be going out to dinner this Saturday 5/28 to Bronx Diner!!
We'll meet at the 1925-1935 lobby at 5.40pm to leave right away.
Connie and George and Samuel, Jen and Andrew Hsieh, Rachel, and Javier and Jady
are planning on being there!!

So be there or be square! (whatever that means, I just thought it's cute because it
rimes :)

Hope you can come!
Please email back to ijarchum@ to say if you can make it so we can make the
reservation!!

ECF mtg 5/26

Dear everyone, how are you?
Thank you to those of you who came out last night to the ECF
housekeeping meeting.

Tomorrow we will be meeting at our usual time and place:

7.30pm
Belfer 601
Thursday

There aren't too many meetings left for the semester, so come out
and enjoy.
Also, this weekend, the seniors will be around for their graduation,
so we will try to get together with them for a meal in the Bronx.
Right now it looks like Saturday early dinner (~5 or 6?) will be
best for all the seniors to be there. The time and place will be
announced soon (I'll send an email and it'll be posted on the
blogsite), but for now, that's the plan. Saturday night, dinner in
the Bronx.

Have a great day!!
