Compassion Health
What Is A Compassion Clinic?
A Compassion Clinic is a catalytic event led by local church collaboratives. It is designed to show the love of God to your neighbors who are underinsured and in need. Our guests experience His love through the provision of free basic health care and social service networking.What Is Offered At These Clinics?
A Compassion Clinic typically offers medical, dental, and chiropractic care. Many times vision is available and other forms of physical care like foot care. There are also social service expo fairs where organizations and churches are able to network with the community about what is offered in the area. Most importantly it is the compassion of Christ that is shown through the volunteers and the united effort of the church.Compassion Connect is fully committed to supporting, encouraging, and resourcing any group of churches who feel led by God to pull together their community to serve their neighbors in this way.

For the past three years, I have chosen three words to provide some direction. It has been a great exercise. And for the first two years, it was very helpful. This last year, however, I realized that three words are two too many for me. I am too easily confused. I forget them. And, in retrospect, there was a gap between the three words – attuned, Jamaica , product – and what I my responsibilities are.
So for 2011 I have one word. Disciple.
Once, I defined a disciple as a person who chooses to allow the life and teaching of someone to shape his/her own life. People shaped by life-changing relationships. I’m still comfortable with that definition. And I know that I have written a lot about the disciples, about being a disciple or follower of Jesus.
What I’m wondering, though, as I begin this new year, is what would happen if I made disciple the centerpiece of what I do? What if I did everything I could to allow my life to be shaped by following Jesus? What if I spent my writing time and thinking time and teaching time helping myself and other people clearly and simply understand what following Jesus could and does look like?
Over the weekend, for example, I wrote two posts about how to follow better. (Here’s a one-page version of 8 ways to follow better.) What I realized (after the fact) is that those eight things would make great themes to explore this year. So I’ll be doing that. In as practical ways as I can. Because if we together (assuming I can count on your interaction) were to put those eight processes into practice, this would be a remarkable year.
Disciple is, I know, both a noun and a verb. This year, I’ll work on both.
