These gifts help patients suffering from serious illness and overwhelming financial need pay their hospital bills – in the name of Jesus Christ and His love. They are drawn closer to Christ in lasting and heartfelt gratitude. Those you help “fall between the cracks” of assistance. They work hard just to make ends meet and then experience painful hardships when illness strikes. They have too much to qualify for Medicaid or charity care – but not enough to pay their hospital bills. Facing their fears alone, they hear the news of God’s grace, “Your hospital bill has been paid by compassionate and mission-minded North Carolina Baptists in the name of Jesus Christ and His love.” Thank you for being a lifeline of hope through your gifts to this ministry! Thank you for pointing people to Jesus Christ and His great love. Ardmore Announcer is published weekly by Ardmore Baptist Church, Inc., 501 Miller Street, Winston-Salem, NC 27103.
