The Inspiration Behind Plan 7
On the dusty road leaving Jericho, a memorable scene unfolded as Jesus healed Bartimaeus. Jesus asked a crucial question of the blind man: “What do you want me to do for you?” His answer was simple, “I want to see.”
Our team has been inspired by the way that Jesus invited the blind man to simply state what he needed, allowing him to be a part of his own healing. When we walk into any rural Nicaraguan home, we see the difficult circumstances that families have lived in for generations. And when we sit to listen, to really understand what people desire, we hear answers like this:
“I want to give opportunities to my children that I never had.”
“I want to be healthy.”
