Awesome Opportunities

As many of you know, just a few weeks ago Victor returned from a two week trip to the United States to begin promoting the Yahweh Rapha Medical Center project that the Lord has led Fishers of Men to launch. He travelled with several other people from Mexico. Dr. Ricardo Escamilla is a retired Mexican military colonel and doctor and volunteers as our medical director for both the crusades and the hospital project. Dr. Gisela Kovacs is a Mexican doctor who volunteers on many of our crusades. She was raised in the U.S. and is bilingual, so she travelled with Victor as his translator. Finally, Francisco Martinez is the Mexican architect who is volunteering his time and services to design the medical center project.

The Lord truly blessed the team's time in the United States as they visited different churches and made many connections that we trust, in the Lord's time, will bring fruit to make the Yahweh Rapha Medical Center project a reality.


Thanks to connections through several Fishers of Men supporters, the team was able to visit The Toledo Hospital and share with many people there, including administrators and board members, the vision the Lord has given us for the Yahweh Rapha Medical Center. The Toledo Hospital is already saving medical equipment in excellent working condition to be installed in the hospital as soon as it is built!

The team also visited the Medical Mission Hall of Fame founded and directed by Dr. Larry Conway where used medical equipment is also being held for the medical center project.


Among the unique opportunities that the Lord provided during the team's visit, was that of a television interview for channel 24 news in Toledo, Ohio.

The story that the news team chose to highlight was that of a member of Julie's Dad's church (Dave Claassen pastors Mayfair Plymouth Church in Toledo, OH) who collects scrap metal to help support Fishers of Men after being inspired by the story of our daughter Martha. It was the perfect story to share as Martha's story shows the beautiful integration of the Evangelistic Medical Mission Crusades (EMMC) and Refuge Ranch. Martha joined our family here at Refuge Ranch as a direct result of an EMMC.


The story also illustrates how your support directly impacts and affects the lives of hundreds of people by making the crusades possible, which affords many the opportunity to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and, on several occasions, has given a child the opportunity to become a part of our family. Your support also makes daily life at Refuge Ranch possible, which results in children's lives being transformed one day, one hour at a time. Now your support, and that of so many others, will make the Yahweh Rapha Medical Center a reality and thousands of more lives will be changed here on earth and for eternity. Thank you!
