In our walk through the book of Jeremiah, we’ve been confronted with the both the harsh realities and promised hope of living in a post-Christian world. Here’s a picture of how our members are being salt and light to a lost generation.
This ministry serves people—emotionally, spiritually, and physically—who fall through the cracks of the health care system due to financial, cultural, or language barriers. Siloam began as a neighborhood clinic, but today serves uninsured people from all over Nashville and the surrounding areas.
Siloam’s staff of 26—including a pastor and a behavioral health consultant—is supported by more than 490 volunteer physicians, nurses, interpreters, and others. Thanks to a network of generous specialists, labs, hospitals, and diagnostic centers, Siloam can provide comprehensive care that goes far beyond what is typically found in a small clinic setting.
Something to think about…
If you have 5 minutes:
Read Matthew 25:34-40 and consider how often we encounter Jesus in “the least of these” and how we should care for those around us daily as if it were Christ himself we were caring for.
If you have 30 minutes:
Go online and read the Siloam blog (siloamhealth.blogspot.com) or find Siloam Family Health Center on Facebook and spend some time looking at videos, pictures, and other items to keep you up to date on what’s happening with them.
If you have a day:
Spend the day shopping! Visit www.siloamhealth.org to find their “donation wish list” and spend time gathering items needed at Siloam.
If you have a week:
Read the book The Hole in Our Gospel by Richard Stearns.
