Dec 2019 eNews - The Waiting Time

Advent is the Waiting Time. Advent gathers unto itself and cradles our waiting times. All of the times throughout the year when we find ourselves shuddering in darkness. Fighting, confused, defeated. In the darkness that obscures our ability to find a way clear, to genuinely hope for a day, believe in the day, when all suffering shall cease in this broken world of ours. When the brokenness in our own lives shall be mended.

Providing life-changing care in our wheelchair clinic

Victor was playing soccer when he was caught in the crossfire of a nearby robbery and was shot in the back. He was paralyzed from the waist down and would not walk again. His life changed that day but his spirit, faith and positive attitude were strong. He came to our clinic to replace his old, broken wheelchair. Dr. Mike Noel examined him with translation assistance from Josue Trevino. Crystal Rempfer, our occupational therapist, fitted him for a new wheelchair.
