In 2001, we built Emmanuel Clinic in a mountainous region of El Salvador. The clinic is the only source of health care for thousands of God’s poor. Doctor visits from the U.S. help with more serious health problems, but take place infrequently. That’s why we are excited about our plan to enlarge our clinic and add space for doctors to reside for longer periods of time.
We are striving to do more. May God bless you.
