Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people -- Matthew 4:23
Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy -- Proverbs 31:8-9
All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor, the very thing I had been eager to do all along -- Galatians 2:10
Most of you have heard of the Sihanouk Hospital Center of HOPE in Phnom Penh, which has been providing compassionate, free care to the poor for more than 17 years. Did you know that HOPE worldwide operates another hospital in Cambodia, focused on caring for women & children in one of the poorest regions of the country? Or that the Goldstone School of HOPE worldwide had its first graduating class of high school seniors last year? Or that the HOPE worldwide Medical Center is a pioneering social enterprise model that provides compassionate, affordable care and contributes all proceeds to support the Sihanouk Hospital Center of HOPE?
While I know that many of you may have already made travel plans, and also that taking additional time away from home is a challenge, I am confident that you will find the investment more than worth it, as you travel back home from both the ILC and the Compassion Tour having been filled up and overflowing with God’s love, from the teaching to the practical application of loving the “unlovable.”
Much more information on the Compassion tour can be found here:
We hope that you will also pass this information along to your friends and colleagues that will also be joining the ILC or simply traveling through Southeast Asia this summer.
On behalf of all of our patients, staff and supporters, we thank you for your consideration!
