to Help the Needy

Herald Christian Health Center

16年前,我目睹一位年輕的中國廚師,罹患晚期癌症,卻因沒有醫療保險而早逝。我被神呼召開設一家基督教診所,為人們提供早期的醫療保健。我永遠都記得,我們如何在眾多善心人士的支持和真誠的禱告中,開創了第一家小小的「角聲醫療中心」。從那時開始,我們深深體會了上帝的恩典和指引。如今,我們已是一家擁有六間診所的聯邦認可健康中心(FQHC)。

對我來說,FQHC 象徵著:

F:與上帝同行的忠實旅程。
Q:保證的品質。
H:妙手仁心。
C:對所有人都毫不動搖的同情。

回首這段路程,儘管面臨挑戰和成長的種種考驗,我們始終秉持著一顆充滿關懷和治癒之心,竭力照顧窮困和患病的人,努力滿足他們身心靈上的需要。

展望未來,我們看到低收入群體和老年人,在社會上的迫切需要,計劃開設一所老人健康及家庭資源中心。希望老年人能在這5,000平方英呎的中心,得到社交、健身、營養和藥物諮詢等服務。

同時,對於低收入或是新移民家庭,只要他們面對食物、住房、就業的不確定性,或是需要法律協助,我們都會竭力為他們提供幫助。我們的宗旨是在同一屋簷下,為大家提供全方位的服務,並將上帝的愛傳遞給每個人。雖然,不知道神會如何帶領未來的道路,但我深信神的信實和供應。

Fifteen years ago, I witnessed a young Chinese chef suffering from late-stage cancer who, due to a lack of medical insurance, passed away prematurely. This deeply moved me and I felt called by God to establish a Christian clinic to provide early healthcare to people. I will forever remember how, with the support of many kind-hearted individuals and through sincere prayers, we founded the first small Herald Health Center. Since then we have richly experienced God’s grace and guidance. Today, we are a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) with six clinics.

For me, FQHC symbolizes:

F: A Faithful journey walking with God.
Q: Guaranteed Quality.
H: Skillful and compassionate Hands.
C: Unwavering Compassion for all.

Looking back on this journey, despite facing various challenges and tests of growth, we have always maintained a heart filled with care and healing, striving to take care of the impoverished and the sick, meeting their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.

Looking ahead, we see the urgent needs of low-income groups and the elderly in society, and plan to open a senior health and family resource center. We hope that, within this 5,000-square-foot facility, the elderly can receive services such as social engagement, fitness programs, nutrition guidance, and medication consultations.

At the same time, for low-income or new immigrant families facing uncertainties regarding food, housing, employment, or in need of legal assistance, we will do our best to provide help. Our goal is to provide comprehensive services for everyone under one roof, conveying God’s love to each person. Although we don’t know exactly how God will lead us on the path ahead, I firmly believe in His faithfulness and provision.
