Vision!

When I saw this great idea by Jon Ling, I heart jumped with excitement. Finally, there’s something that connects the heartbeats of ECF IMUers together. A place where we can encourage each other, share visions and dreams God placed in our hearts, and together build His kingdom with the gifts and the positions God has placed us under.

Isa26:8… your name and renown are the desire of our hearts. (NIV)

The NLT version says “…our heart’s desire is to glorify your name.”

How more can we better do this if not through our profession as doctors; where we have contact with so many people each day, hearing and seeing how they journey their lives before our eyes. Being a doctor, not only give you such personal encounter with patients’ lives, it also gives us an “authority” or “right” to speak into their lives. We help, we save lives, we treat diseases, but we can do more. We can speak of His love, we can tell of His green hope, we can share about Jesus! Let His heartbeat be ours. Let whatever things that grips Him, grips us too!

“Break my heart for what break Yours!”

As church’s vision is towards “Community@heart” it is our dream and desire to have a hospital of our own, where like-minded people can come together and practice medicine together. Not only offering medicine to community, but let’s bring Jesus as our true medicine, as our healer and perfector of our lives into the community. It is such a great platform for people out there to know out Him!!!

Gen11: 1 Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. 2 As men moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there. 3 They said to each other, "Come, let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly." They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. 4 Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth." 5 But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. 6 The LORD said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other." 8 So the LORD scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. 9 That is why it was called Babel—because there the LORD confused the language of the whole world. From there the LORD scattered them over the face of the whole earth.

If we “speak the same language” there is nothing we plan to do which will be impossible to us. Not even “weak building blocks” (bricks and tar). God recognize the power of unity that these people shared. Even though they used weak building blocks to build the tower, God see the impact they would make if they build the towel as one spirit! The power of unity and one accord! Plus, if God is for us, who shall be against us!!! Just wanna urge you guys to join in this God given vision. Let’s partner together to serve our God!
