40 Days of Prayer: Day 23

EACF 40 Days of Prayer 2019
Day 23: For Ethne Health Clinic

Let's pray for another community partner, Ethne Health Clinic in Clarkston. Drs. Andrew and Esther Kim and their partners provide "comprehensive, high value healthcare through a culturally sensitive, neighbor-centered medical home that advances Jesus’ love and justice in our vibrant community" (ethnehealth.org). Their mission includes their living in the community they serve. While the doctors also work elsewhere to earn income for their families, they build relationships with patients as neighbors and pray to show Christ's love to all. Pray for their work, for financial and material resources, and for deep and broad relationships throughout their community. Pray for EACF as we consider supporting them further.

"What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, 'Go in peace, be warmed and filled,' without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead." - James 2:14-17 ESV

"Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’" - Matthew 25:24-40 ESV
