Diagnosis Hope

Saturday, God's wonderful light was able to shine so bright!! I spent the entire day at Christ Church as one of the many volunteers that showed up to help with the Dr. Asa's Diagnosis Hope Free Health Clinic. I was so grateful to take part in this. We were able to see about 350 patients.

I was so moved by the amount of patients that came in along with the amount of volunteers that gave up their Saturday to be God's servants. There were 10-12 doctors and nurse practitioniers, about 30 nurses, and close to 200 other volunteers. Most of them were probably between the ages of 18-24. These kids could have been anywhere else and doing anything else in Nashville, but chose to spend their Saturday with us. We were on our feet all day, but I did not hear one complaint out of anyone.

But the sad reality is, is that there are plenty people in our community, your community, and all over the US that don't have insurance and no way of getting the proper healthcare they need, that did come or was not able come to the Free Health Clinic.

The way I see it...All humans were put on here earth by God, the same way you and I were, and that they should not be refused healthcare due to lack of insurance and funds. Their health is just as important as yours and mine. I wish there was more that I could have done. But there is more that I am going to do!!

One of the best parts of the day was being able to witness to others, share what God has done in my life, and experience the beauty of what He is doing in my life. And what is even better, I was not the only one that was able to witness and share God's work. God is Great!!
