I have never heard of such a disease. It is obviously something serious, praise God for Shevet Achim. It sounds like this is a great cause especially with the war and another things that are going on in that area right now. It was touching to me how Israelites would care that much about the Palestinian and Iraqi children. I love that they are doing it out of obedience because Jesus said to love their enemies. I do not sure if I would be able to care for somebody that I hate. It is a good reminder/challenge for me to live out my faith by loving my enemies.
The ending of this story is awesome! How such a hostile man could change just like that, from one conversation. It is encouraging to see that Christians really can make a difference, and it just goes to show how important making disciples is!

It is amazing to see how God chooses to work through all kinds of people. The Jews and the Palestinians are supposed to be enemies, and because God is constantly working in the lives of these people groups they are able to come together and form a relationship. When you seek out the will of God, and what that means for your life, God will bless your efforts. In this case, the Christians who headed off the organization showed how the boundaries are endless. They have accomplished more than they could believe when they started the ministry, and by living out their faith many stories are now able to be shared because of the grace of God. Praise God!

I thought that this was a cool article it shows how great people can go to a corrupted place in order to spread the love and by having compassion to help sick children. Its cool to see that so many people would risk themselves to help others.

This is very sad that these children are sick like that. I am thankful that people are stepping up and helping them have a more normal life.

We’ve been learning about the upset in the Middle East this year in school, and I think this is an inspiring story! I love how God’s love is greater than any political or social conflict.

This story truly moves my heart. What an amazing ministry that has not only brought hope to lives of hurting children, but also brought hope to those who have seen a true disciple being reflected in the missional people who run it. This is what it means to love people toward God.

What a great story of how broken relationships are being healed. Jonathan Miles is truly living out the gospel call to live as Jesus did. Its awesome to see how this man’s passion for healing children with heart defects fits into the kingdom building that is happening on earth, here and now. What a great example of how we are supposed to live.

Amen. Great story and ministry. Hopefully people will see Jesus through our lives and in practical ways like that.
