It was learned that the church sent each family a letter, which read: “We’re Pathway Church. We may never meet you, but as an act of kindness in the name of Jesus Christ, your debt has been forgiven.”

On their social media pages, they shared a post which read thus: "This Easter, we sent a special piece of mail to all 1,600 Kansans who fell into a hardship category determined by RIP Medical Debt. We let them know that in Jesus’ name, their medical debt had been forgiven.

"Jesus did the same thing on the cross when He declared “it is finished.” The debt of our sins, that we could not pay, had been forgiven! Tetelestai. It is finished. Paid in full."

Gina Gabriel Blair commented: "Oh my goodness. As a mom of 2 medically fragile kids, I know what this would feel like to get a notice like this. You have likely given those folks something they may never have achieved on their own let alone showed them a love from someone who doesn’t even “know” them. Job well done on being Jesus’ hands and feet."
