Today we welcome the fifth team of 2011! They are a team of 12 people from one of Living Hope’s church partners in Nashville, TN. This particular team is the first of its kind. They have come to conduct vision screening clinics in the community, which has never been done before. There is a great need for this sort of specialist work, particularly because there are very few affordable opportunities for people to get help. This team will be testing for near-sighted needs, and have brought over 700(!) pairs of donated reading glasses of various strengths. We’re hoping that the work done this coming week will just be the beginning to the possibilities for these kinds of teams to come and fill a significant void in our area. We are so blessed to have this opportunity!
Farewell to UD Intervarsity Team
Feb 4, 2011
After 29 solid days of being here, we said goodbye to the UD Intervarsity team. Their stay of nearly a month is more than twice as long as most teams do. We had a wonderful time getting to know them – and more importantly, the staff and clients with whom they worked got to know them better, too. What a great bunch of young adults! We’ll miss them; they became such a help to us on many fronts, from home-based care in Ocean View (4 of them were 4th-year nursing students) to kids clubs in Capricorn, to serving at Living Grace homeless ministry, to general maintenance and improvements in various areas. We wish them all the best, as many return to class on Monday already!
Website Launch!
Feb 1, 2011
Today marks the official re-launch of our website, complete with fresh content that tells our story, what we’ve been up to, and what we’re doing now. It’s been a long time coming, but we trust that the Lord’s timing is perfect! We are so excited to share it with friends and family. In conjunction with the website launch, our first official newsletter comes out today. If you haven’t received it via email, you can download it on our website at www.changethruhope.com. Take a look!
New Long-Term Volunteer Arrival
Jan 31, 2011
Today we welcome Ellen to Living Hope! She will be with us for at least a year and will be serving in multiple roles. She will soon be licensed to practice as a nurse in our health care center and home-based care ministries, but her extensive experience in related missions will also be greatly appreciated in our prevention ministries, including support groups and health counselors. We are hopeful that Ellen will become a key part of our volunteer team at Living Hope. Praise the Lord for her arrival!
