These images are from the medical mission of Dr Sam Cariaga, held in
Cagayan de Oro, Philippines on April 7, 2006. Dr Sam treated 70 people on this one day.
Several surgeries were performed to remove tumors. People were examined and treated for many medical conditions.
All of the medical care, including medicines, are free to the patients. This work is a great example of Christians
doing the Lord's work; telling people about the Lord Jesus Christ and giving medical care to the needy.
Most of the people that come to Dr Sam's clinics would not be able to afford their treatment if not for the clinics. It was a privilege
for me to be present on that day to watch my friend do what he very much loves to do....serving God by helping others.
Dr Sam's work is possible because of God's help and Sam's tireless, unselfish manner
and attitude. He is supported by his family, friends and Churches of Christ in the Philippines and the USA.
Recently Dr Sam and his brother Salvador Carriage have asked the elders of the
Whites Bend Church of Christ in Jackson County Tennessee, USA to be the sponsoring Church
for Dr Sam's medical missions. Our Church is honored to take on this work.
We welcome and need your financial support. We encourage individuals and elders of congregations who wish
to become involved in a good work to contact us with any questions that you may have. Contact information is
below. We also need your prayers!
