Ministry update

This ministry ha has been about since 1984   the world has changed during that time. Something else has changed and I frankly do not like it; I am not 18 any more infact I am just shy of my 66th birhday. And I am tired, real tired. However tired I am I want to see to it that one more person hear the Good News of Jesus christ

What has transpired this year, so far?

#1. as you know I suffered a masive heart attact in January and I again was hospitalised in April of this year. I am, by doctors orderes meant to be on the mend which means zero working, no walks, no heavy lifting, no driving. You get the picture?

#2. So my ministry has suffered and the board of directors has suggested I close down the minisstry. I suggested another 2 years to see which way it will go. Thus I extended the internet  contract with Comcast Business Class two more years.

#3. Starting in the next few days Thunderdome Ministry will embark on a second website that has ties with Google called UNEI.  My hope and prayer is to reach out even further with Gods message of hope and forgiveness. Thus, the ministry will have two websites on the World Wide Web.

#4.  Sadly after some tweny years there will be no Woodward Avenue Dream Crusie outreach this year. Unlike previous years, we had the tracts and the volunters and my health is still on the mend and lastly I am without transportation.

                                             Just what is the vision of the ministry

A.     to continue reaching the lost for the Lord as 2nd Corinthins chapter 15 tells us that we have the ministry & Word of reconcillation.

B.    build on 110 plus acress a campus for homless Christians and  vets. On the property would be a 200-250 seat chapel with learning center and at least 5-6 houses for living quarters.

In order for the vision to come to light means people just like you will need to  come forward and help financially. Why?  becasue this minstry is trying to stay away from goverment interferance. This mean not goverment grants. Why no grants? to many loopholes and restrictions. This is also why this ministry has been staying away from being a 501c3.

Present day

As of right now the minstry faces its problems, just as any other ministry What this ministry faces is a shortage of items that make a minisry run smoothly. One such issue is  that of modernday technogly.

The ministry runs short on copy paper, uptodate printer  as well as a computer/laptop.

Then too, there is no Christian volunteers or sponsorship to lean on for a little rest.

Am I available for speaking/preaching engagments? The answer is yes and no.  Yes I could do a preaching engagemnt. However said engagements would need to be here in Michigan and with traansporttion and lodging are provided until April-May of next year. Please let your Pastor know of my availabilty and he can contact me directly.

Caste System in the USA

Have you ever been put in your place? I don't mean physically, emotionally or even racially. But maybe financially in indirect ways.
What about medically?
Before I continue I think it's important that you, the reader, need a little education from one of my college courses for Jackson Community College. The class was World Religions.
What your about to read would have come from such course;

"The caste system in India is the paradigmatic ethnographic example of caste. It has origins in ancient India, and was transformed by various ruling elites in medieval, early-modern, and modern India, especially the Mughal Empire and the British Raj. It is today the basis of educational and job reservations in India." Wikipedia

Continuing forward:

"A caste system is a class structure that is determined by birth. Loosely, it means that in some societies, if your parents are poor, you're going to be poor, too. Same goes for being rich, if you're a glass-half-full person.

caste system - Dictionary Definition: Vocabulary.com

Don't think the above transpires in the USA?
Well it does, in America we call it poverty level, middle class and upper class(aka snobs, millionaires, the rich.)

Where am I going with this?
First, would think a hospital would help all classes of people. Sadly this is farthest from the truth.

Henry Ford Hospital one for those well off. A place where money is no object.

Pontiac General/Physicians Group a hospital mostly for low income or poverty/low income based individuals.

In a certain county in a certain cities in Michigan there are three hospitals where perhaps this applies and you can witness the Caste System

This one hospital I know of is nice an clean on the outside but inside there seems to be trouble brewing.

First.let me say this:

Its my believe that every doctor and every nurse be place in an M*A*S*H unit for at least one full year.Why? In a M*A*S*H you learn to treat all patients regardless if the solider has bugs crawling on the body or his economic status.

Recently, your truly was humilated by a certain unnamed hospital.

 Pressing forward; there was certain staff that highly suggested I go home wearing a green  hosptal gown and pants that continually fell to the ankles. Then, once outside could change into my own personal clothes. 

At this point I was, and still am update over the situation. So upset I feel like a "person" in a concentration camp.

As it turns out it took a manager to resolve the problem  with a pair of jeans and a black shirt. Still I left the property without shoes and socks.

It was my belief that every person is treated with dignity and respect. Not treated like those of the lower Caste System regardless if a person is carrying bugs of any kind, breed, and or nature.

Does the Caste System exist in American? How about with hospitals? According to the definition the answer would be a huge yes.

What can hospitals do to improve relationahip with its patients? 

Send staff out to M*A*S*H units for a year. Allow staff to get a full grip to what it takes in a field of operations. Let them see the flies, gnats, beetles thats swarming a patient. Allow the to witness the horror of a young soldier whose about to lose an arm or leg. Perhaps, just perhaps people will be treated far better than myself.

No patient, ought to be treated as if s/he was in a German Concentration Camp.

Will I survive? Of course! 

Thank you, life, for teaching and reminding me what is in the world beyond scrubs and medicine!
