St. Luke’s Healthcare Foundation Accredited by National Financial Accountability Organization
WINCHESTER, Va. –
The Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) announced
today the accreditation of St. Luke’s Healthcare Foundation of
Winfield, IL, an organization committed to providing funding and
operational management for the SODDO Christian Hospital in Ethiopia.
ECFA
accreditation is based on standards of responsible stewardship,
including financial accountability, transparency, sound board
governance and ethical fund-raising.
St. Luke’s Healthcare Foundation, www.soddo.org
joins a growing number of churches and evangelical organizations across
America, representing more than $18 billion in annual revenue, that
have earned the right to display the ECFA seal. When an organization is accredited by ECFA, it demonstrates its willingness to follow the model of biblical accountability. “We
are pleased to include in our membership a ministry committed to
providing compassionate care and comfort to the sick in the name of
Jesus,” said Dan Busby, acting president of ECFA.
The
vision of St. Luke’s Healthcare Foundation is to establish a private
hospital in Wolaitta, Ethiopia, as a medical training center that will
minister to the needs of the people in Ethiopia.
ECFA,
founded in 1979, provides accreditation to leading Christian non-profit
organizations that faithfully demonstrate compliance with established
standards for financial accountability, fund-raising and board
governance.
