Crazy Gringo—2
Theme of the Week: Storm the Gates
Saturday, July 27
Key Bible Verse: "I assure you, if you have faith and don't doubt, you can do things like this and much more" (Matthew 21:21). Bonus Reading:Psalm 18:46-50
Townsend and I (José Jiménez) continued our unreal conversation: Who'll fly these planes you expect to receive?
Hundreds of young people, seasoned pilots and mechanics will volunteer.
How many pilots and mechanics do you now have?
None, but God will send them along.
There's much disease in the jungle. How will you stay healthy?
We'll have clinics staffed by doctors and nurses.
How many doctors and nurses do you have?
None, but God will supply.
Who'll finance this? The U.S. government? A foundation?
No. I'll go home and tell people about this plan. God will supply. All the workers will raise their own support
When all that comes to pass, come back to me and I'll bless you.
"Townsend got up, gave me a big hug, and said, I'll be back soon. When he walked out of the door, I turned to my secretary and said, 'Allá va el gringo más loco que jamás he visto.' (There goes the craziest gringo I've ever seen.)
"A few months later, Mr. Townsend was back, ready to start! Now all he dreamed has happened, plus much more. Only God could do such a mighty thing."
