BETHANY'S WORLDWIDE IMPACT

Although Bethany lives in Oregon, her impact is shown in Belinda's neck of the woods, half a planet away.

On my first Sunday here, I met little Sidney in church. She was wearing an outfit shipped to the Philippines by Bethany, which had previously been worn by Naomi.


Belinda checks the blood pressure of Manang Piging, shown wearing her white hat and sitting beside her crutches. Bethany routinely sends rubber tip replacements for her crutches.


A wall in a village home, decorated with a photo of a golf course, complements of Bethany.




Another wall, another wall hanging from Bethany.




From the Moffit's living room window this morning, Belinda pointed out a family hiking to a nearby creek to do laundry. The lady is wearing a green hat, originally sent to the Moffit's as part of a St. Patrick's Day package from Bethany. That hat now provides protection from the sun for a local resident.





This morning Belinda served at a nearby clinic, providing medicine for a sick child and for a young man with asthma. Between patients, Belinda, Ally and Daisy took a break on the clinic porch.






During clinic hours, Belinda sells medicine to a customer while Daisy and Ally look on. But what is that thing hanging on the wall behind Belinda's head?







It's an April 2009 calendar. Again, complements of Bethany.
