HISTORY

The beginning of World Health Services, Inc. actually sprouted from the seed of a high school graduation motto "to really live is to humbly serve and to humbly serve is to really live." Dr. Richard Bendall submitted this motto for his high school graduation and it was accepted as their creed for that year. After living a life expressing this motto, in retirement it found its full blossom. He has a special talent for finding needs and finding ways to supply the means to satisfy those needs in service in many different continents to many different people.

World Health Services, Inc. is committed to continuing these efforts and involving as many like-minded people as possible in their pursuit of their accomplishment. World Health Services was formally formed on February 1, 2002 and organized into a group effort and officers were chosen. The beginning involved health screening including blood tests for cholesterol and blood sugar, blood pressure evaluation and body mass index, and medical lectures designed to encourage people to improve their health and life and energy level through following natural lifestyle habits that promote life rather than destroy it. From there it has changed into providing assistance with feeding underprivileged children to helping with school dormitories and cafeterias, as well as purchasing land to grow food and provide work for students. It has matured into a ministry that involves all aspects of human life. To have life and to have it more abundantly is the goal, and to encourage others in the pursuit of that.

World Health Services, Inc. is a volunteer not-for-profit organization where only 2% of donations are used for operational costs. It is a wonderful organization for those looking for a place to serve others and see lives changed. The Organization depends on those types of individuals for its existence. If you are reading this history, it may be that you will hear the Spirit's voice calling you to come and follow in the footsteps of the ultimate humanitarian, Jesus Christ, who came to humbly serve. We welcome any assistance that you are inspired to give, whether it be monetary or practical, and look forward to what the future of World Health Services, Inc. can accomplish in today's world.
