Saint Luke Society Medical Services

Sung Buk Gu, Seoul. They were there to serve the local community through medical services. The medical services intended to educate them about how to prevent dental diseases and give them clinical advice. Representative Shin who was in charge of dental disease prevention education, emphasized, “For children, a cavity is the most common while it is gum disease for adults. To prevent these, you need to brush your teeth properly and use dental floss regularly. And the scaling and regular check-up from the dentist is also recommended. It is also necessary to reduce to have snacks that may damage your teeth. I really wish that you take good care of your teeth while they are in good condition.“

Later, other SLS members contributed their specialties like family medicine and oriental medicine. Hee Jung Choi shared, “I was worried because one of my feet was in pain whenever I walked for a long time. But after I realized that it was not a severe problem, I was relieved. I am very happy that my teeth are in good shape and I am taller and slimmer than average among my age group. It is really thankful that you guys came here for medical services.” Eun Ji Hwang expressed, “I am thankful that you came despite the very busy schedule. I was depressed these days. It was really good that doctors counseled in a very kind manner and give a guide to my health.”

Team leader of the paternity said, “The kids and the mothers who received the education and medical services were very happy about it. Actually, these are the areas that we can’t take care much usually, it was a great help for us. Thank you.”

Dr. Young Seok Lee mentioned, “It was really good I came to serve after a long time. And I was happy to see the kids who are very bright even though they were growing up with single mothers. I pray that we can serve with many more members from SLS in the future though we are very small in numbers now.” Ji-Ae Kim, the representative of In Ae Oriental Medicine Clinic Pyoung Chon, shared,” I thought it would be rather a dark atmosphere when I just arrived here at the nursery. But in fact, the kids and the mothers were very friendly and bright. I was so thankful about that. I was the one who came to serve, but I actually learned a lot and felt that I should also live resolute and powerful life. I heard that it has been 10 years that this paternity received medical service, the little things we did for them would be a little bit of help for them. Hopefully, this small amount of time we served could be a glory and happiness to God.”

So-Young Jung, the representative of In Ae Oriental Medicine Clinic, expressed, “ I was very happy while I was treating because they were so bright. They were all in good shape and I realized that they have been taken cared well. I really want to pay respect to the mothers. For me, they were so beautiful to live with hope and sacrifice themselves for their kids. “

The third Korea Medical People’s End-of-the-Year party held by Saint Luke Society concluded with abundant grace, through which they shared what God has done for SLS and makes plans for upcoming 2016. SLS has been serving the community through great unseen sacrifices. In response to this, God has blessed the SLS Medical Foundation the Saint Luke Hospital. With two great pillars set up, SLS is approaching a big dream to reveal God’s healing power to the whole world as an international medical fellowship.

Myungseob Shin, the representative of Korea SLS, delivered a message with a title ‘Rejoice in the Lord’. “To rejoice in the Lord is a privilege for Christians. We want to give glory and gratitude to God and may our ministers receive peace through faith,” he said. “Many struggles of faith were fought through in order for us to finally attain victory,” Joseph Lee, the representative of SLS International said. “We came to realize God’s providence. We have experienced many barriers and faced hardships, however with prayers, everything went well according to God’s predestination. God gave me a precious commission and I will do my best to bear abundant fruits in the coming year.” Soyoung Jung, director of Inae oriental hospital, reflected: “We had a lot of worries and anxieties and that led us to pray a lot and come to see in the end that God fulfilled everything. I always thank God for using someone shabby like me. I want to be a worker for the Kingdom, holding onto the great commission”. Kyunghee Kim, a new employee for Saint Luke hospital, also joined the gathering, allowing SLS to gain more co-workers. “If was a great challenge for me to attend this gathering, however, I thank God for allowing me to attend the precious gathering.”

SLS China members gathered together to discuss the goals and vision of 2016 and share their plans individually. The vision of SLS China in 2016 is to become stronger and open more ministries to preach the gospel and save souls.

In order to welcome the online APP of “Dr. Luke”(“路加医生”), the leader has set 3 aspects as follows:

1. To serve oversea missionaries sent by China churches. They plan to mail some daily drugs to their ministries and guide them on how to use them by APP
2. To serve China members, they can counsel by APP if meeting some problems in medicine. The above 2 are totally free.
3. To recruit Christian doctors once operating in Market and also give them salary accordingly.

Then they also confirmed the management principles for “Medical Assistance payments” of the establishment of SLS. At last, they also shared their plans for 2016 individually.

Personal faith training (PBS) is spreading out to SLS members of all nations.
The members set the goals of these four parts, ‘P’ as ‘prayer, ‘B’ as ‘bible and book’, ‘S’ as ‘Service’ (PBS). All members of SLS hope to be more mature Christian by following the standards of faith which are listening to the words, meditating, praying, giving service every day.

Not only the members who are students but also the doctors who are actively working in hospitals decided to participate in this movement. They are going to meditate on the word and doing mission work. This challenged to the student members because even the doctors who are in the active work are being the example of faith, setting the right standards of faith.

Jae Kook Yu, the general director said: “This movement is for doctors and medical students who can not come to the center of SLS every day.” “I believe that a greater power and blessing will be upon us when we are faithful to the basics of the faith.
