    Happy patients at Muko Health Clinic IV in Uganda wave after receiving treatment from MedShare-equipped Medical Mission Team, Worldwide Healing Hands. MedShare has supported healthcare professionals at Worldwide Healing Hands for more than five years as they improve the quality of care for women and children in Uganda, Haiti, Chad, and Nepal. Photo Credit: © Nathan DeHart I want to say thank you to MedShare “for being such a valuable partner.“ We could not carry on our work without MedShare’s help. Dr. Paula Dhanda, Founder, CEO, and Medical Director for Worldwide Healing Hands 20172017 Annual Annual ReportReport Dear Friends, As we reflect on what MedShare accomplished over the past year with your support, we would also like to look to the future and what we can achieve given the foundation that this work has built. With your help, we were able to launch our Maternal & Child Health initiative, 2 Million Mothers, that will aid in reducing mortality rates for pregnancy and childbirth-related illnesses in communities where traditional medical care is unavailable. Our partnership with the Ministry of Health in Ethiopia allowed us to provide $9.2 million of medical supplies and biomedical equipment to strengthen their health system and support victims of famine and drought as they recover in the coming years. Because we trained more than 800 engineers and technicians to use and repair state of the art biomedical equipment this year, we can support hospitals in developing nations with the tools they need to save lives for years to come. None of those accomplishments would have been possible without the community that supports us.

  • From the Pastor's Keyboard
    From the Pastor’s Keyboard “2020 Vision” What is your 2020 Vision? Over the past five years this church has come a long way, but it did not happen by accident. In 2016, this church put together a four-year plan (2016-2020) and made significant progress toward implementation. With that plan as our foundation, we articulated a five-year plan in 2018 (2018-2023) to envision the direction we, as a congregation, would like to be headed. Since articulating that vision, we have assessed the plan frequently; adopting implementation goals and making progress toward our congregational mission. This past fall, the Church Council and Ministry Teams, along with the LODO Advisory Board and the Inclusion Team, articulated Implementation Plans for 2020 based on the CUCC 5-Year Strategic Plan. Those Implementation Plans will guide us through this next year, charting our course as we enhance our integrity as prophetic witnesses to God’s Inclusive, Steadfast Love. (If you have not seen our 2020 Implementation Plans, you can access them on the church website or request an electronic copy.) A wise person once said, “If you don’t know where you are going, don’t complain when you get there.” What this means is that planning is essential to maximize your potential; or, in the case of a group on a particular mission, such as a church, planning is essential to maximize your impact in God’s world. If a church wants to fully live into the potential God has instilled within them, they must plan ahead. It is not about being overly rigid; it is about authenticity and intentionality.
