Do Miracles Still Happen?
Yes! And you can make it happen.
Meet Katie Schlinger.
On December 20, 2013, Katie Schlinger was in Aiken, South Carolina supporting her brother during his open heart surgery. Katie was attempting to help a stranger when she was brutally attacked and sexually assaulted. She sustained life altering injuries from a vehicle accident while trying to escape her attacker.This is not your everyday story….
Read Katie’s horrifying story on the DailyMail or on Tallahassee News
Katie does not have insurance and so far she’s been treated by three area hospitals (two of which have discharged her because she lacks insurance). GRU, where Katie underwent two spinal surgeries, has already sent Katie a bill for $250,000! Now in her third hospital, a rehab center in Augusta, Katie has less than 10 free days remaining before she will be billed $2,000 per day she receives treatment.
I do not know Katie Schlinger, she is a stranger to me and to our church, New Passion Church, however I am leading us to be a “Good Samaritan” to her and do everything that we can to help her family raise the $250,000 she’s already been billed (their family goal is $100,000; we want to do better than that!). She attempted to be a “Good Samaritan” and evil rose up against her. We believe good always overcomes evil through Christ and that is who we follow. We also want to support her family in any tangible way necessary while she is in our local area. We simply believe this is what we, as a church and as Christians, are called to do. For us, it’s simple obedience.
