BUILDING BRIDGES
Page 3
Dear Friends:On behalf of Genesis World Mission, I am pleased to present this annual report to ourcommunity and especially to those who support us through their donation of time, talent,and treasure. In this tenth year since the inception of Genesis, we have selected the themeof “Bridging the Gap” to help tell the story of a very strong period of growth and ex-pansion.“Bridging the Gap” is not just a cliché saying we came up with to make designing this re-port easier. It really does describe so much of what has occurred in the past year throughour various programs: the
Garden City Community Clinic 
, the
Volunteer Physicians Network
,and
Genesis International 
. By building a bridge to the underserved through quality and sus-tainable medical care, we are helping improve the lives of thousands of people each year. The bridge goes in both directions. Because of these acts of love and service that spring out of the heart of Jesus Christ through us, we hope and pray for people to ultimately cross that bridge toward Him. Another part of this year’s success has been building a bridge to the future through or-ganizational development. During 2006-2007, we realigned our staffing levels and posi-tions to help move the organization from its foundational stage into a more mature not-for-profit. The board of directors has grown tremendously in its breadth of skill andcommitment to the underserved. Finally, we are working hard to increase our own sus-tainability through ongoing fundraising efforts. We enjoyed a very successful Faith, Hopeand Charity Dinner in February 2007, raising over $95,000 for general operations. Many lives have been made healthier because of your support.I know you will enjoy reading the stories of trial and triumph, dreams and work in thisannual report. We are honored to represent your heart as we touch those in need of somuch. Thank you for your partnership in this great mission.Sincerely,Dr. Karl Watts,Founder and President
