On Friday, we feel blessed to have been here in Tarakan for the dedication, celebration, and opening of MAF's hospitality house, Rumah Singgah. MAF frequently flies medical evacuations for small villages in interior Borneo. Often family members accompany their sick or injured loved one to the Tarakan general hospital. It can be hard for people to find affordable accommodations close to the hospital once they arrive in Tarakan. MAF is excited to be able to offer cheap ($1/night) housing right next to the hospital.
Would you join us and MAF in prayer as the doors of Rumah Singgah open? Pray...
- That the remaining details of care for the house would fall into place (who will clean the house, clean bedding after families leave, etc.)
- That new relationships would be built, opening opportunities to share the gospel
We have a Great Physician who not only heals the physically sick and hurting but desires all the more to heal people spiritually. May this home be a place of healing, used for the furthering of God's kingdom!
