About 15 FaithCare volunteers spent an evening bringing health, hope, and healing through song, prayer, and words of encouragement to patients who will be in the hospital over Christmas—and beyond. During what can be a difficult and lonely season, hearts were lifted and hope renewed as many were reminded of Christ’s love and His ever-present care. FaithCare continues to make a difference in meaningful ways, to and through the healthcare community.

Dear FaithCare Member, Friend, Supporter, and Partner,

As this year draws to a close, my heart is full of gratitude—for you, for our mission, and for the many lives God allowed us to touch in 2025 through FaithCare.

Since 1994, our calling has remained unchanged: to bridge faith and medicine by delivering free, compassionate, Christ-centered care to those who need it most. This year, your generosity and prayers made extraordinary impact possible. I want to share just a few highlights of what God has done—and invite you to help build a sustainable, hope-filled future.

Stories of Impact in 2025:

A New Chapter Takes Root in Sierra Leone

In March 2025, FaithCare announced the launch of a new chapter in Sierra Leone—born from a pilot outreach earlier in the year. This work extends far beyond delivering medical care. It represents long-term presence, meaningful partnership, discipleship, and ongoing community transformation. Leaders from FaithCare-USA and partners in Sierra Leone are now laying the foundation for regular outreach, spiritual gatherings, and sustainable healthcare ministry.

Lives Saved & Transformed Through International Missions

During a recent outreach near a refugee and internally displaced persons (IDP) camp in Mangu, Nigeria, the medical need was overwhelming—and God placed us there at just the right time.
One young girl arrived in crisis, believed to have a ruptured appendix. Once in surgery, our team discovered it was actually a ruptured intestine—a life-threatening condition with no access to local treatment. In a setting where emergency surgical care is nearly nonexistent, FaithCare stepped in with skilled hands, prayerful hearts, and compassionate follow-up. God used this moment to save her life and offer her spiritual hope.

A Helping Hand at Home

Here in the United States, FaithCare’s inner-city clinics and community outreach continue to provide for families who might otherwise slip through the cracks.

One young mother of five came to a clinic seeking school physicals. She had no emergency contact to list—her husband had left, and she had little to no support. Our volunteers embraced her with more than healthcare: they offered groceries, clothing, transportation, prayer, and ongoing care. This is the heart of FaithCare: meeting practical needs while reflecting the love and compassion of Christ.

Dear FaithCare Member, Friend, Supporter, and Partner,

As Giving Tuesday approaches, I invite you to join us in a mission that is as radical as it is compassionate: bringing health, hope, and healing to those who need it most—both in our own communities and across the globe.

For more than three decades, FaithCare has lived out this calling. Since our founding in 1994, we have bridged faith and medicine, uniting healthcare providers, volunteers, and patients in a ministry grounded in love, dignity, and service.

Why Your Gift Matters Today

1. Transforming Lives Through Global Missions
In 2025, FaithCare’s medical outreach teams served nearly 12,000 individuals—offering clinical care alongside spiritual counseling, prayer, and discipleship. This included close to 1,000 surgeries, more than 8,000 patients receiving counseling and prayer, and over 2,000 individuals making decisions for faith and spiritual growth.

These aren’t just numbers; they are lives restored, families strengthened, and individuals reminded of their immeasurable worth.

2. Growing Our Reach & Building New Chapters
FaithCare is expanding. A new chapter in Sierra Leone is emerging following a successful pilot outreach. Our Harrisburg chapter is thriving, and Levittown, PA has now joined our network. We are also praying for a potential new chapter in Georgia.

FaithCare’s work is not temporary—it is a long-term commitment to sustainable, faith-centered care. Giving Tuesday support will help fuel even greater impact in 2026.

3. Compassion at Home: Serving Our Neighbors in the U.S.

Through inner-city clinics, community outreaches, hospice visitations, caroling, and more, we provide free, compassionate care to the uninsured, underserved, and most vulnerable in our communities.
One story that continues to echo in our hearts: a young mother of five came to our clinic for school physicals with no one to list as an emergency contact—her husband had left her without anything. What she received from FaithCare was more than medical help. Volunteers offered food, clothing, prayer, and ongoing support.

Read her story: https://www.faithcare.net/a-helping-hand/

This is the heartbeat of FaithCare.

4. Passing the Torch: Equipping Healthcare Providers in Faith

FaithCare serves not only patients, but also those who care for them. We invest in medical students, residents, and allied health professionals—training them to integrate faith and medicine with compassion and clinical excellence.

We provide transformative short- and long-term international experiences where both patients and providers discover health, hope, and healing.

On behalf of the FaithCare family, we have so much to be thankful for this holiday season.

We are thankful for the many gifted healthcare and non-healthcare professionals who pour their hearts into this ministry each day.

We are thankful for the small acts of kindness shared between our patients and providers—moments that remind us why this work matters.

We are thankful for the Word of God and for the privilege of sharing it with the multitudes who come seeking health, hope, and healing.

We are thankful to witness the peace that passes all understanding in the lives of those facing circumstances beyond their control.

We are thankful for the deep sense of connection to the Church at large, and for the opportunity to serve—both locally and internationally—those who are truly in need.

Most of all, we are thankful for God’s greatest gift: His Son, Jesus Christ, who paid the ultimate price for our sin debt so that our Holy and Just Father could forgive us and offer eternal life as a free gift. We give thanks that we can share this gift with others. All anyone must do is call on Christ with simple, sincere faith. Truly, as the Apostle Paul declared, “Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!” (2 Corinthians 9:15)

Dear FaithCare Family and Friends,

It is with both deep sadness and profound gratitude that we share the news of the passing of our dear friend, servant leader, and sister in Christ, Marion K. Moran, who went home to be with her Heavenly Father on November 14, 2025.

For more than thirty years, the story of FaithCare has been intertwined with the story of Marion and her beloved husband, Cliff. Few individuals have poured more love, prayer, and servant-hearted dedication into this ministry than the Morans. From the earliest days—before FaithCare had an office, a phone line, or even a clear shape—Marion and Cliff were already helping lay its foundation.

Marion was not only part of the founding group that helped spark the formation and growth of FaithCare—she became FaithCare’s first official employee, faithfully serving from a small room in their home that doubled as the very first FaithCare office. Her warm spirit, organizational gifts, and steadfast love helped transform a small fellowship group into a ministry that has since brought Health, Hope, and Healing to hundreds of thousands around the world.

In her years as a Guest Relations Representative at St. Francis Hospital, Marion was often the compassionate presence families first encountered in moments of fear or crisis. She became a bridge—pointing hurting people toward spiritual support and inviting FaithCare members to come alongside them. Many early FaithCare interventions happened because Marion recognized a need, opened a door, or spoke a gentle word at just the right moment.

Many FaithCare chapter meetings were held around Marion and Cliff’s dining room table—a table overflowing with prayer, encouragement, and the love of Christ. One resident, while sitting at that table, once said, “If it hadn’t been for FaithCare, I never would have made it through my residency,” a moment that deeply touched Marion’s heart.

Marion and Cliff served on three international FaithCare projects to Nigeria—pouring out love, comfort, and the hope of Christ to both patients and team members. Their influence shaped lives across continents.

In 2004, Marion and Cliff were recognized as the very first recipients of the Servant Heart Award, a fitting tribute to lives lived with humility, generosity, and joy in serving others.

Marion’s full obituary can be found here:
https://www.carmonfuneralhome.com/obituaries/Marion-Moran?obId=46416475 #/obituaryInfo

We invite you to read and be blessed by the story of a woman whose life radiated love, hospitality, and unwavering faith.

Honoring Marion’s Legacy:

Marion’s family has requested that, in lieu of flowers, gifts be made to FaithCare in her honor—reflecting her lifelong commitment to sharing God’s love through compassionate medical care and spiritual hope.

For those who have been touched by Marion’s kindness, encouraged by her prayers, supported by her wisdom, or inspired by her example, a gift to FaithCare is a meaningful way to continue the work she cherished so deeply.

Your donation will help ensure that the ministry Marion helped birth continues to thrive—bringing Christ’s love to people who are hurting, overlooked, or in need of hope.

A Life That Still Shines:

Marion’s legacy is not measured merely in milestones or memories, but in the countless lives she touched—patients comforted, team members encouraged, families lifted in prayer, and communities strengthened by her unwavering faith.

Her influence is woven into the very fabric of FaithCare.
Her heart for God is still shaping the mission.
And her love continues to shine through those of us who were blessed to know her.

On behalf of the entire FaithCare family, we give thanks for Marion’s beautiful life—and we invite you to honor that life in a way that continues her ministry of compassion.

With gratitude and hope,
The FaithCare Leadership Team
