In one example, the bible uses this word when Jesus was talking about the good samaritan (Luke 10:36-37 NIV): "which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?" The expert in the law replied, "the one who had mercy [Eleos] on him. "Jesus told him, "go and do likewise. " Each year we have sent teams of volunteers on short-term medical missions. Under his blessings, we have treated people of all ages, races and religions with over 4100 patients and preached the gospel to over 9000 people, in Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, Ethiopia, Haiti, Mexico, Peru and El Salvador.
