Esther And Her Disciples

Mercy is a dangerous gift to have. Esther Scarborough is the director of the IFC medical work where she and her students care for the sick and dying. She is both blessed and driven by a mountain size measure of mercy. Blessed because she is doing what the Lord has called her to do. She is showing compassion upon the afflicted. She is driven to help as many as she can and only has 24 hours in a day and is able to be in but one place at one time. She works hours that would make most of us drop in full exhaustion and she does it day after day.

In the morning Esther is training a group medical workers. She is assisted by a wonderful Australian couple, Alistaire and Ruth McKeown, who are as full on as she is. These are their disciples. Esther has a way of seeing potential in the lives of these young people. Her group is held to very high academic standards as she wants them to offer the best care that they can. All of these health care workers are refugees. A couple of them were captured by terrorists and held captive for as much as two years.
