ANNUAL REPORT

2013

FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTORRemembering all that came to pass during 2013, we know God was watching over and blessing the Good Samaritan Health Center of Gwinnett. We exceeded all our goals, but we take no credit for our achievements; nothing was accomplished by our own wisdom or strength. Everything was of God, and we praise Him for causing our ministry to flourish yet another year and using us so remarkably to fulfill His plans. All of us—staff, students, and volunteers—are honored to have a role in delivering healthcare to the uninsured and sharing the hope of the Gospel with our brethren. To God goes the glory, and unto His will, may we continue in the pursuits of this ministry for years to come, to heal the sick and use that encounter to introduce His creation into a lifesaving relationship with Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

This publication is both a report of our recent activities and a request for your help to expand the Good Samaritan ministry. We have reached the physical limits of our office and parking lot and must relocate to a larger site to safely provide for those who come to us each day, and to enable growth in several key program areas, particularly charity dental care. We want to be the backbone of charity medical and dental care for Gwinnett and surrounding communities, we want to be that solely for the glory of God, and we want you to join us in this worthy endeavor.

We thank you for your support, labors and prayers, and we pray that you be blessed in abundance so that you might bless with abandon.

Gregory E. Lang, PhD

I cannot remember a better time than this for the church to rise up and serve the increasing needs of our community. Christians, we simply cannot say we are now doing enough and let the world do the rest.”

“

Our Purpose is to glorify God through meeting the general medical needs of our patients as well as their spiritual needs through prayer and biblical counseling.

Heal the sick who are there and tell them, “The kingdom of God is near you.”

-Luke 10:9
