We are building a "Medical Staff Dorm," next to the new Jesus Healing Center to house 49 staff members who will be working in the new clinic. This will include doctors, nurses, administrative and security, down to the ones who keep the Jesus Healing Center spotless, and as germ free as possible. Out of all these people,...
