CROSSROADS CENTER AND GOD’S MULTIPLICATION IN 2015
Luke
8:8 says,”Other seed fell into the good soil, and grew up, and produced a crop
a hundred times as great.” That is what has been happening at Crossroads Center
Medical and Dental Clinics. Last year Crossroads Center had an income of $105,509.00. We also had 4011 hours of time donated by our
72 loyal volunteers. And what did God do with that time and money?
As
a result of the money and time given last year, we were able to have 244
clinics seeing 948 medical patients and 185 dental patients. We provided Mental Health counseling at
Crossroads to 26 of our patients. In addition, 30 patients received classes in
Diabetic Education from our diabetic educator.
According
to the State of Florida, we provided $1,628,473.00 of medical services to our
patients. In addition, we were able to provide $737,571.00 of free medications
for 397 of our patients. That is a total value to our patients of $2,366,044.00.
For
every patient we see, we provide $2,198.93 of care in the name of Jesus. For
every hour a volunteer serves, we provide $589.89 of medical care and
medicines. For every dollar donated, we are able to provide $22.43 of medical
services and medicine. God is certainly in the multiplication business.
Most
importantly, He drew three people unto Himself so that they asked Jesus to be
their Savior. More than anything else, we praise Him for these three souls who
we will now meet in eternity. We also give thanks for our faithful CARE Team
members who give of their time to pray and share with our patients. By the way,
we urgently need more volunteers to join our CARE Team. What about you? We are
also very thankful for all of our volunteers who make the ministry of
Crossroads Center possible.
