Mission Waco Donation Clinic News: June, 2009

Treating the Physical, Emotional & Spiritual needs of the working poor and homeless while serving as a bridge for getting our patients long-term help…


“Hope and Help”


“Bryan” came to our clinic this past month on a Tuesday night. Like most Tuesdays, the waiting room was packed, and – unfortunately – Bryan was one of three folks that we had to turn away for lack of time. We assured him that his name would be at the top of the list for the next clinic night, but extenuating circumstances meant that he would not be able to return. Wanting to help him, we talked with Bryan about his symptoms, and our volunteer nurse determined that what he needed involved lab work and x-rays (services that our clinic cannot provide). After giving Bryan some over-the-counter medicine to help alleviate his symptoms, we were able to set him up to see one of the family practice doctors the very next day. Before sending him off, we prayed over Bryan for his healing and for his family situation. Even though he never even saw a doctor that night, our desire for Bryan is that he left with a glimpse of the hope of Christ.


PLEASE PRAY…


Praise the Lord! We’ve had several new doctors volunteer this month, and our June calendar is looking good. We would still love to have more professional volunteers - particularly nurses - but we are grateful for how the Lord has provided for us this month. Thank you for praying.


Welcome to Kennedy! We are in full swing with our summer intern, Kennedy. He is a health science studies major and is already proving to be a valuable asset. Again, thank you for praying for us toward this end.


We are looking for ways to expand our services (like taking a more active role in helping our patients get plugged into social services that they qualify for but haven’t taken advantage of due to inability to navigate the “system.”) Please pray for our wisdom in how to effectively operate with limited funds and time. We serve a powerful God and know that nothing is impossible through Him!


***Please continue to pray for us that we would serve the homeless, poor and marginalized of this city with the love and power of God and that every resource that is needed for this work would be supplied!!

Thank you for your encouragement, help, and assistance!
