    Samuel Smith

    Samuel Smith has been in sales for most of his adult life and has built up a wealth of experience in the field. Hailing from Detroit, he has had to work hard to get to where he is and knows that without his marketing wisdom and the clever use of the internet he wouldn’t have found the success he has.It was thanks to his approach that he achieved financial freedom and is now able to work wherever he chooses. His books also reflect the way Samuel has lives and worked for the past two decades and he hopes that the advice he provides within them will allow many more people to follow the path that they are most suited to.In his spare time, Samuel enjoys simple pleasures like having a beer with some of his friends while watching a baseball game, going for dinner with his wife or vacationing in his favorite Caribbean resort. He also reads lots, mainly about new ideas in business and sales but also in the science fiction genre when he wants to completely unwind.Samuel lives with his wife and two sons just outside Detroit and has no plans to move away from what he calls home any time soon.

      When Love Heals - Samuel Smith

      DO

      INTRODUCTION

      Let’s call her Celia.

      Four years old and the youngest of four children, Celia is the apple of her mother’s eye. Along with her family, she lives on the bank of a small river deep in the Amazon in what could only be described as a hut, its walls and roof made of grass, sticks, and bamboo.

      Celia is a delightful girl with a sweet, contagious laugh. She loves to play, to run, to climb—things that little girls all around the world love to do.

      But when her mom called her inside one day, Celia tripped and fell in the dirt. As four-year-olds often do when they get a glimpse of their own blood, she cried. In seconds, her mom was at her side. Gathering Celia in her arms, she hugged her close, kissing away her tears.

      Before long, the small cut was forgotten. There was rice to eat for dinner, Daddy would soon be in from the field, and Celia had found a pretty rock to show her mother. All was well.

      The next day was the same as the one before, filled with playing and laughter, but by evening, the cut on Celia’s knee was starting to bother her. When her mother placed Celia on the bed—nothing more than a straw mat—and told her to go to sleep, Celia fussed and fussed, something she rarely did. By the fourth day, the cut was fiery red and oozing. Celia said it hurt to bend her knee.

      LITTLE PROBLEMS LIKE CELIA’S CUT, DIARRHEA, OR CATARACTS BECOME LIFE-THREATENING IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES.

      A month later, the little girl’s strength was gone; her laughter turned to nothing more than a weak smile. She had a fever her mother could not control. Her leg was on fire and she cried all the time. What will happen? her mother silently worried. Will she lose the use of her leg? Will it cost my child her life?

      This is life in the Amazon, and in many of the places Medical Ministry International serves. The basic medical supplies we take for granted, like an antibiotic cream or a tetanus shot, are virtually unheard of. Things that are little problems to us become life-threatening to them, things like Celia’s cut, diarrhea, or cataracts.

      In much of the world, medical care is nearly as basic as it was when Jesus walked the earth. In country after country, doctors don’t have the training or even the equipment to provide their patients with adequate medical care.

      To make matters even scarier, families like Celia’s live miles—sometimes hundreds of miles—away from what little medical care is available. Just getting to a hospital is a luxury they simply can’t afford; not on the $100 a month this family of six survives on.

      I believe you are reading this book for a reason. In the following pages, you will be introduced to 12 people from all over the world who have shared their stories with MMI teams over the past several months.

      I have taken some creative liberties to tell their stories in such a way that you will understand the context of their lives, and the challenges faced every day by the world’s sick and impoverished. As you read them, their stories will help you see and feel the world through their eyes, their pain, and show you what a difference one gift, one surgery can make.

      Each story has taught me a biblical truth that I want to share, giving voice and dialogue to the individuals in the sea of faces we serve.

      So please, let me take you along on a journey around the world and show you more. Let me open your eyes to what life is like in developing countries today. Only then can you begin to see those like Celia as our Lord does. It’s not enough to simply say, I love Jesus. We must put those words into action and help people.

      IT’S NOT ENOUGH TO SIMPLY SAY, I LOVE JESUS. WE MUST PUT THOSE WORDS INTO ACTION.

      You and I have an opportunity to relieve the suffering of those who cry out from their pain through Medical Ministry International.

      Love can still heal, as Jesus did. Let me prove it to you.

      Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress. He sent out his word and healed them; he rescued them from the grave.

      Psalm 107:19-20

      FAITH FOR RONALD

      I am not a doctor. I live in a small town in the US, read my Bible, love coaching little league and watching sports on TV.

      In many ways, I am an average American. I have never worried if my children will have enough food to eat, or if the water is safe to drink. I have always
