OUR FIRST CLINICS!

We're officially open for business! The Faith Clinic has held three successful evenings, providing the medically uninsured in our community with FREE healthcare. On November 4, volunteers showed up for our kick-off at 6:00pm and we started seeing patients half an hour later. For our first night, we saw three patients and even had one woman come in just to have us pray with her! It was such a blessing to all of us and it made us excited to see what the Lord would do the following month. On December 2, despite the rush of the Christmas season, we had a great group of volunteers, from clinicians to greeters. Four patients were seen and one had a prayer time with our counseling volunteers. How wonderful! Then on January 6, we had a record number of patients. Fourteen came to the clinic that night and both Dr. Myles and Dr. Drozek experienced the joy of serving. This time four people received prayer and we were overwhelmed at the evidence of need in our area. With our numbers growing, we are in desparate need of volunteers! For now, we are only operating for one evening per month, from 6:30pm-8:30pm, although we can see it becoming necessary to add another night very soon. We would love to have so many volunteers that we need to rotate months! Won't you pray about your involvement in Faith Clinic and experience the joy of serving those in need? Please contact us if you are willing to serve at thefaithclinic@gmail.com. And thank you to all of you who have made this possible!
