Our current favorite patient in the hospital is our former hospital chaplain Jesús Montero. His room is currently the most visited. There, visitors prayed and comforted go away. Now he is patient. We have him in a malignant tumor discovered at an advanced stage. The treat is actually already quite late and he has now decided to make no chemotherapy and also make a big operation. That would be very time-consuming and costly. Jesus decided to leave his life in God's hands and accept what comes. He has accompanied many people here in the Mission Hospital, many to death. And he can judge what it means to be use all the money for maybe a little more life.
It all started when the tailor came from the highlands to shell. His workshop was then compared to the Bible school and many of the students talked with him. Since the seed was placed. Later, he found well-paying job at a petroleum company, which sought the Curarayfluss for oil. There he came to living faith in Jesus. In evening classes at the Bible school shells, in their own community elders and radio training courses from HCJB he got his training for many years. Since 1977, he was a hospital chaplain at Mission Hospital in Shell, initially with no official title and not for money, but with glowing hearts and a love-one visits at the bedside. He wanted to take the first place not because it is studied as it was, but eventually he convinced the Jonah story. Whom God calls, should not run away.
It was personally spared no suffering. A knee injury has left a stiff knee, two of his three children died at 7 and at age 13 from kidney failure. His wife, he lost 7 years ago from breast cancer. Perhaps he did it at such a sensitive pastor. And so is his hospital room today, a place where others get advice. He's walked on the floor of the courage to other patients and I have not heard a single complaint. We pray with him that God does a miracle and the pastor heal, which is exactly one year into retirement, but still attended in our hospital patients. We pray for a miracle, even if it is humanly too late.
