It was last year when MAIt

was last year when MAP started to plan restoring the Hilgendorf Memorial Clinic. The building

was abandoned for more than 20 years, leaving shattered win-dows, ceilings covered with mold; leaking water pipes, and other parts badly needing repair. It was a depressing sight. But with unceasing requests of the people from the town of Jac-mal, Aguinaldo, Ifugao to restore the clinic and continue the health care services for the community, the Restoration Team of Dr. Jun Garcia, Mrs. Alice Bañas, Mr. Romy Solis, Mrs. Jo So-lis, Ptr. Ray Calupig, and Mrs. Tess Calupig- conducted the sur-vey and started planning last year for the restoration project.

Mr. Richard Hagerty, president of Medical Missions Philip-pines, honored Ms. Maureen Hilgendorf Mosher who joined her Creator just recently. He wrote, “She (Ms. Hilgendorf)

Built to Lastcared passionately about the care and operation of the Hilgendorf Clinic in the mountains of Northern Luzon. The clinic, sadly ceased to operate some years back, but she continued to support the work of MAP while imploring the missionaries to restore this landmark fa-cility… I never met Maureen, in fact we never spoke by phone and she never indicated that email was an op-tion. However, each and every year she would send a very generous donation along with a lengthy handwrit-ten note of memories and hope.”

We thank the Lord for people like Ms. Hilgendorf who would go out of their way to be faithful in whatever calling the Lord has given them for His Kingdom pur-poses. In the case of Ms. Hilgendorf, it was the calling of “giving”.

True enough, with these “givers”, another of our long-time prayers has finally been answered- a new multi-purpose center in Sitio Singawan, Brgy. Umiray, Dingalan, Aurora Province. The new and improved cen-ter is now more spacious so we can hold trainings and

Restoration of the Hilgendorf Memorial Clinic in Aguinaldo, Ifugao

Child-to-child education comfortably. We now also have a separate consultation room for more privacy and a second floor for the nurses’room. It was launched last February 20, 2016. The center was built to become a beacon of light es-pecially for the Dumagat people who have no means to go to the government health center.

But these buildings were not built for physical healing or curative care only. We strived to have these built so that we can cater more effectively to both their physical and spiritual health.

The same goes for the survivors of typhoon Yolanda in Easter Samar. They are still recovering from this devastating typhoon but now have found meaning and purpose in their life because of Jesus Christ. Not only were their houses and other physical needs met, but their relationship with God, which is lasting and forever, was restored.

This is the most important thing that MAP aims for these people, that their lives are built on the Solid Rock, Jesus Christ.

“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.” Matthew 7:24-25
