BOARD MEMBER - VP
My name is Joseph Ibrahim, an Interventional Pain Management Specialist, and the Vice President of Care 4 Needy Copts. We are privileged to be the recipients of blessings, not merely the givers. Serving others is a divine opportunity to fulfill the will of the good Lord and extend His love to those in need. As it is written, "Whoever gives to those experiencing poverty gives to me personally."
God will ensure the needs of our community are met, with or without our involvement. Let us embrace this calling to help, and may the Lord bless each of you abundantly and reward you with everlasting joy.

Dr. Emad Ishak
BOARD MEMBER
More than 15 years ago, SML and C4NC servants visited churches in Chicago. I was deeply touched by the incredible individuals who demonstrated Christ's love, and compassion in serving their brothers and sisters in Christ.
I have been blessed to visit needy families in Egypt several times. Additionally, I have had the opportunity to visit various services, including people with disabilities, preschools, literacy programs, small projects, construction services, and Misr El-Mahaba Hospital.
I see Christ in every individual among the servants and in those we serve. As He said, "Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me." (Matthew 25:40)
It is an honor and a blessing to be a part of this important service, a privilege I feel I do not deserve.
