WAW Wednesdays: The Miracle of Moises

"The Word at Work is a ministry that mobilizes churches and individuals to answer God's call to minister to those in need," writes Rev. Tim Tam, Director of the Amarillo, Texas-based ministry. "Through our relationships, God reveals needs and opportunities for service. As we come along side the poor, new friendships develop and doors for ministry open. As we serve, God provides the resources to supply for the needs he reveals."



The Miracle of Moises


Friends,

Our staff and ministry are super busy in Belize right now. Well over a hundred volunteers from quite a spread of churches ... LaJolla, CA; Memphis, TN; Pascagoula, MS and Baton Rouge, LA. And reinforcements are on the way for next week. The teams are staying in various locations working multiple projects I guess we will make that next weeks story when we have the photos, which should also include another shipping container arriving ... and World Cup party on the big screen in the Valley of Peace.

Remember the Miracle of Moises? The boy who could see and speak with angels? The 1st photo below is the day we met, he was 9 years old and down to 30 pounds from starvation. A bad accident had severed his intestines. Doctors tried surgery but backed away, not even closing his incision and expected him to only live for 5 hours.


And 3 months later on the brink of death we met. We brought him to the States for life saving surgery. We know God intervened to save him for something ... so for you who have followed his story these past few years we are giving an update ...

AND THE BIG NEWS IS ... Last weekend Moises graduated and in the fall he will begin high school. Pictured below at graduation ceremony with most of his family and his Principal on the left. The pretty little girl in the front is Lisa, named after my wife who sat with Moises’ pregnant mother every day for months while Moises was here in the hospital My surgery kept my wife and I from attending but our good friends took a camera and also put him on the phone with us.

God is good and can’t wait to see what unfolds next.

Thanks for your time,

Tim Tam
