I went to collect the prayer requests that had been deposited in the box that sits in the waiting room of the Medical Care Mission. As I pulled out the white slips of paper and wondered how I might best pray for our patients who are struggling with physical pain and so much more, I was startled by what I saw:

A dollar bill.

One of our patients had made a donation to the Mission. It was a donation, and it is also a prayer request. It is my prayer request. I give thanks for the generosity of our donors, especially those who sacrifice to give one dollar, and I pray that God will continue to provide the funding that our patients need through our faithful friends.

So I’m asking you who are reading this right now to consider sending $1 to the Medical Care Mission. Could you do that? Could you place a dollar bill into a folded piece of paper, tuck it into an envelope and send to the Medical Care Mission (1857 Pine Street / Suite 100 / Abilene, Texas)?

And could you ask your friends to do the same? Send them this link in an e-mail or Facebook message or wall post. Text them. Call them. Tweet the message. Tell everyone you know that $1 can offer health care to someone who desperately needs it.

If everyone in Abilene sent $1, we’d be able to put an extra $100,000.00-plus toward patient care this year. Imagine what we can do when we use our electronic resources to spread the word around the world.

Everyone needs health care. Everyone. Thank you for doing what you can to make that happen. I’ll keep you posted on the results.

Blessings,

Rev. Amy Wilson

Director of Spiritual Wellness
