    Why Healthy Communities Everywhere?

    The Tree and Rivers of Genesis, Ezekiel and Revelation speak of Gods

    Kingdom and spiritual fruitfulness being perpetuated throughout the earth

    that brings about healing for the nations.

    What a joy it has been tobe a partner with Genesis

    since its inception. Since

    the first fundraising dinner

    in the "warehouse" that now

    houses the clinic we have

    watched and participated in

    serving the cities of the

    valley and other nations of

    the world.
