Day 9...now the real challenge begins


Today was a difficult one for the group. We sat down to meet with the president/administrator of the Milwaukee Immediate Care Clinic. The meeting did not go how we expected it to at all! For one and a half hours we patiently sat and listened to what he had to say about his clinic and his involvement with it for the past 25 years. We heard him out (that's almost all we were able to do).

Honestly, he came in with a completely different vision that did not align in any respect with the mission we hold as a group. So unfortunately we unanimously decided that this project is not worthy of our efforts. As bad as that sounds, we feel it would not be fair in any way if we gave to the clinic (it wouldn't be fair to any of our donors, or even to what we were sent out to accomplish in this challenge). We were entrusted with much and are determined to help in the most apt manner.

So this sends us back to square one...but no worries, we've got ideas! This has now turned into a 10 day challenge, but we are more than ready for it.

We still are going to help CSSW in some way, too. We are still determining this exactly.

Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this:
He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn,
the justice of your cause like the noonday sun. (NIV)
Psalm 37:5-6
