Your attendance at the recent Luke Commission auctions and dinners in Idaho or Ohio was much appreciated, as were your donations throughout 2009.
To demonstrate just what your contributions mean, we offer this story from Dennis Brock, a young American missionary serving with Adventures in Missions. He wrote this to his supporters:
“We at AIM Swaziland experienced a breakthrough in our ministry. May 15th, 2009, was the day of our first medical clinic in our new partnership with The Luke Commission.
“In case you do not know of The Luke Commission, let me begin by telling you they are awesome! They are the real deal here in Swaziland!
“Everything they do, all the care they provide, is infused with getting out the message of Jesus. They have pledged to regularly run clinics at our carepoint locations.
“Usually, we have to take out children into the city to be seen at a hospital. It is always a long, difficult, and frustrating process. Most of the poorest people in Swaziland live in rural areas. They usually do not have the funds to be treated by a doctor, let alone the money to travel to the city to find a doctor.
“What usually happens is that the people suffer, and even die, from simple treatable ailments.
“What a blessing to have The Luke Commission’s good doctors and knowledgeable medical staff come into our rural communities to see people right where they live.
“For me partnering with The Luke Commission is a total dream come true! Having the mobile clinics is another step – an improvement in what we (with God’s grace and power) are able to provide for all our orphaned children.”
With this story in mind, we thank YOU for making all TLC services free to “the least of these our brethren.” May you be blessed for your generosity now and in the future.
Gratefully in Jesus,
Janet Tuinstra for The Luke Commission
