Obviously, I suck at blogging lately, but here is the latest installment of my lenten project for 2010.
I have visited a local medical clinic once with my co-workers because it is one of the many organizations supported by the church. Siloam Family Health Center is an amazing organization! They have a clinic of doctors and nurses who provide healthcare at extremely low costs to local families who would otherwise be unable to pay for any kind of medical care. Their in-office services are available in almost any language, and their website has pages in English, Arabic, Farsi, Krudish, and Spanish. To quote their website, "No one is ever turned away because they cannot afford to contribute to the ministry. " This is the true meaning of acting on Christian love.
As with so many well-planned organizations, Siloam has a wish-list online with a list of the top 20 most frequently needed items for the clinic. For the second part of my lenten project, I headed over to Costco to load up on some wish-list items. This is truly a ministry that deserves every penny, and then some!
