We had the grand openning for the North Charleston Dream Center Free Clinic yesterday. Here's what I know:
- It was one of the most emotionally satisfying events I've ever been a part of. The fulfillment of a dream that was "more than we could ask or imagine".
- The local paper gave it front page coverage. Great story...read it here.
- Every TV station was there.
- The mayors of North Charleston and Hanahan both spoke. (Both are better preachers than me.)
- Volunteers have worked round the clock to finish the clinic in the building.
- A foundation donated 3 big mobile medical units.
- Hundreds of medical people are volunteering. We need more, call 843-225-1115.
- We served 20 patients before the doors opened officially.
- God is going to be glorified and people are going to be healed.
Let me show you some pictures (courtesy of Kelli Nixon).
If I'm there, we're going to have fun. (The guy in the background is the head of the neighborhood association.)
N. Charleston Mayor Keith Summey, N. Charleston Counselman Bob King, Hannahan Mayor Minnie Blackwell. (That's one of the mobile medical units in the background.)
Maybe he'll benefit from the Clinic someday...
Sam Lesky, the Campus Pastor, sharing the vision...
Let's cut the ribbon...
It was a very good day!!
My family does NOT have health insurance, and we are in desperate need of medication, and health care. Please let me know how we can qualify. Thank-you so much for all that you and the church does.

Isn't awesome to see God's power and plan at work right here in our own community. What a blessing to be able to support this and many other ministrys though tithes and offers!
What a testament that "all though one person can do good works, many working together can do great works and change the world" !

I have a friend in Peru...who once ran for President there.
He would like to communicate with the people running the Dream Center Clinic about starting free clinics in Peru and all over the world.
Please let me know if you can communicate to him.
