This past week, we were incredibly fortunate to host Dr. Elizabeth at St. Mary's Medical Center. Her dedication shone through as she conducted patient checkups and offered invaluable support. Beyond the medical aspect, Dr. Elizabeth embarked on a ministry tour, visiting our Community Education Center and engaging with our FAITH Program Ministry Leaders. Her insights and passion for uplifting the poorest children in Egypt align perfectly with our mission at Stephens Children, helping us break the cycle of poverty through education and opportunity.
She had the opportunity to wash feet, a beautiful practice embraced by Mama Maggie and ministry leaders. It’s a powerful reminder of Christ’s call to serve one another, as echoed in John 13:14-17. In communities where shoes are a luxury, washing feet not only provides care but also uncovers hidden injuries, ensuring everyone feels seen and supported.
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” James 1:27
