I just wanted to give a few more details about the Christ Clinic and Christ Kitchen, since I'd mentioned it in the last post and realized that not everyone knows about these amazing ministries! (Thanks for the nudge, Bethany!)
The Christ Clinic is a non-profit medical center in Spokane that provides medical care for people without insurance. Check out their website! Many doctors from the area volunteer their time and services to help people in medical need. The director of the clinic goes to our church, as does our good friend, Debbie, who is the head nurse there--so we have seen the clinic grow through the last few years and recently move into its new building on Monroe. Our friend Julie was also involved in helping the Clinic in their capital campaign to create this new facility, then she moved to the TriCities! I wish she were in town to help me take pictures of it now! It was quite an amazing process, and we've been encouraged to see what God is doing through the lives of those who enter the clinic.
Working alongside the clinic is Christ Kitchen. Here, women in poverty are trained and employed in a kitchen that makes AMAZING gift baskets, cookie bouquets, and now deli take-out from 11 to 1. I cannot help but feel overwhelmed with hope as I walk into this place. (And might I recommend the chicken salad sandwich on the take-out menu--scrumptious!!!)
