“I assure you: Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did for Me.� Matthew 25: 40
I’ve realized that there is little that separates the needy and the helper- we share more in common than we do our differences. God has made us both and we need each other. In serving the less fortunate one has a need met but the helper has the pure joy of giving to another without asking for anything in return. There truly is no greater act of love! - Dr. Brittany Thome-Hoover, DDS

Thank You For Your Partnership I count it a privilege every day to be serving as a part of the CMDA Atlanta ministry. It is exciting to see the many ways God is transforming lives, in Atlanta and throughout the world, by the power of the gospel, in and through the care and compassion of medicine. CMDA Atlanta, although part of a national ministry, is locally governed and locally supported and underwritten. Therefore we rely entirely on the generous financial support of individuals, who understand and are compelled by the ministry’s mission and have seen the Kingdom impact of this ministry. If you are a current ministry partner, my heartfelt thanks and appreciation for your sacrificial commitment. If you’ve never had the privilege of partnering with us financially, I’d like to personally invite you to prayerfully consider doing just that. Our ministry’s scope, mission and impact is big, and yet every gift given, no matter how big or small, is an important part in helping us to reach and achieve that mission. Serving Christ Together,
