Patient Testimonials
To bring glory to God by meeting the physical needs
Jay (not his real name) found the clinic shortly after he moved in across the street. He came to the clinic for a sore throat but soon was discovered to have high blood pressure. We assisted him for several months with follow-up visits and medications.
One evening, Jay arrived at the clinic, drenched with sweat. You could tell by the look in his eye that he was worried that he might have something serious. After a brief examination, the nurse practitioner ordered a quick test to check his blood sugar. His sugar was so high, that our glucose meter wasn't able to read it. He left with a brief thank you and headed to the emergency room.
A couple of weeks later Jay stopped by and handed us a beautiful green plant. He said he had a couple of extra dollars and wanted to thank us for all that we had done. As tears welled up in his eyes he said, "Thank you for saving my life."
To bring glory to God by meeting the emotional needs
This is a portion of a letter we received from a patient: "It was very challenging and humbling to go there the first time for me personally as I have never been on the 'needy' end before. The lady who came in to pray with me could see that I was very uneasy and felt bad for having to receive 'free' help. She was wonderful. She shared with me that the clinic sees many people for one reason or another. Her kind words really helped. Please pass onto your staff how appreciative we are of their professionalism, tenderness towards each person's personal situation and the medical and spiritual assistance they so graciously offer. You're doing a great thing for the community and you're touching lives for God. Thank you."
To bring glory to God by meeting spiritual needs
During any given clinic, spiritual conversations are happening. We notice that as patients continue to receive medical care from us, opportunities arise to share the gospel.
Doug (not his real name) is a patient who has no other place to go to for his health care and is in need of crucial medications to manage his health. Doug has diabetes, high blood pressure and back troubles, which prevent him from working. He is not a Christian and when he first started coming to the clinic he would tell the prayer support volunteers that he didn't want prayer.
On one evening, after prayerful consideration, our prayer support volunteers decided to visit with this patient despite his continual refusal of pray. When the volunteers approached him, Doug began sharing some of the struggles he was having. As a result, our prayer support volunteers were able to pray with him and to share with him the hope that is found in Jesus Christ. We look forward to seeing what God will do in this patient's life.
