LAHAI HEALTH     
Lahai Health, which provides free medical, dental and mental health services to low income people, is one of the mission agencies our church supports.  Lahai Health has three core values.
 
1. Christ-centered.  “We value Christ and his teaching.  We seek to follow where Christ is leading, loving people as Jesus loves. 
2. Professional.  “We value excellence in the administration of health care.  We show respect and act with responsibility.”
3. Relational.  “We value knowing our patients and their families.  We pursue kindness, mercy and respect for all people.  Each one is created in God’s image.”
 
“Lahai health is a clinic providing health care to under-served individuals in King and Snohomish counties.  Our service includes integrated and comprehensive medical, dental, and mental health counseling services. 
 
Since 2003 we have been able to provide quality and compassionate health care through a dedicated staff of volunteers, donors and community partners motivated to show Christ’s love to all under-served people.  While we meet immediate needs of each patient, our long term goal is to care for the whole individual, meeting the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of each patient.”  Our $100 mission allocation for this month will go to Lahai Health.
 
OPERATION NIGHTWATCH  
Usually we think of Operation Nightwatch as providing food and shelter for homeless people.  We have been recently bringing white socks to give to homeless people to keep them a little more comfortable during cold and wet weather. 
 
Sometimes Operation Nightwatch helps people in a different way.  Pastor Paul met “Brent” on Capitol Hill.  He had recently survived a shooting and was scared.   As Pastor Paul talked with Brent, he became more hopeful.  He had grown up in foster care and was now living outside.  Operation Nightwatch was able to connect with Brent’s guardian.  A bus ticket was purchased for Brent to return to his home town.  Within one week, he was met at the other end by his supportive guardian at a home for developmentally disabled adults experiencing poverty.  A little while later Operation Nightwatch received this note from Brent.  “Thank you and God bless you.  Thank you for having Pastor Paul be the person to meet me, guide me in the right way, and help me get back where I belong.  You have been a miracle.  Love, your dear friend, Brent.”
 
Operation Nightwatch works to help each individual in the best way possible for that person.
 
Mission Elder, Ruth R
