4th of July | A Collaboration of Service and Spirit—AMCM and U.S. Navy Unite for Hope, Health, and Happiness
On July 3rd the Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, USS George Washington, arrived in Manila.
In the true spirit of service and partnership, 12 U.S. Navy personnel teamed up with local volunteers at Adventist Medical Center Manila (AMCM). Together, they lent their hands to ongoing hospital construction project, showcasing the shared commitment of both communities to uplift lives through practical, compassionate action.
This act of collaborative service laid the foundation for a heartfelt, two-way exchange. After the Navy’s service at AMCM, it was the hospital’s turn to reciprocate with a gesture of care and faith.
Aboard the USS George Washington, AMCM representatives were welcomed for a guided tour and a meaningful dialogue on how faith plays an essential role in strengthening the lives of the people we serve.
To symbolize its mission of bringing Hope, Health, and Happiness, AMCM presented three special gifts to the ship’s floating community:
A Hope Bible, representing the enduring promise of hope;
"The Great Physician is In" by AMEN, symbolizing healing and health;
A Health & Home compilation by PPH, representing happiness and well-being.
Through this mutual sharing of service and spirit, both AMCM and the U.S. Navy celebrated the values that unite them—care, compassion, and faith.
May these gifts inspire all to look to the One who brings lasting peace: Jesus Christ—our Hope, our Healer, and our Joy.
