Honorary Doctorates

President David Black; Arthur Hill Interim Chair Board of Trustees, Dr. Christopher Hall, Chancellor Eastern University, Dean Palmer Theological Seminary

As of 2012, we have decided to do something in our spare time. We graduated with honorary Doctor of Humane Letters Degree, Honoris Causa from Eastern University. We also gave the commencement speech which served as an opportunity to share what God has been doing in our lives in family and ministry.

New Clinic in Philadelphia

Within a week from our return we were already overseeing the startup of a new clinic in North Philadelphia for the under or uninsured. We are still in the negotiating stages which includes licensing and inspection, as well as interviewing and hiring new staff and finding the resources to pay for salaries, equipment and supplies. We have also had some renovations to the building and have enlisted the help of several community members to help us. One of the most important is installing a toilet that is accessible to handicapped. We will need to meet all of the government inspection and requirements for access and safety.

Work in Kenya

Our work in Kenya continues, though Kay has not been able to travel because of her illness and is awaiting clearance from her pulmonologist. However, we still support the education and health care, and food for The Least of These. Children still need milk and for those with HIV goats milk is best.
