Answer: Name of agency and reason for selection The selected agency for discussion is Arlington mission agency with a zip code 76010. Mission Arlington is a Baptist church that is located the zip code 76010. The agency has been chosen as it this agency has been providing and assisting many numbers of individuals so that they can meet their physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual needs. This agency had stories of providing support to the school students and bringing church near to the people. History and mission of the agency The agency was organized by Tillie Burgin and her family members. They served the Lord as missionaries in South Korea (Bielefeld Cleveland., 2013). They came back to home in 1978 after many decades of services and were thinking that God has created and planned something different for them. Believing in this thought, they started their work in Arlington. Tillie had some sort of thoughts coming in her mind like- she had established the mission in Korea so she can also establish missions in Arlington. Tillie and her close friends started praying and prayed for about seven years. The Mission Arlington was started on 1st August 1986. The Mission Arlington was found to be the first Baptist church. After the establishment of this mission, another mission named Mission Metroplex had been formed (Garcia-Contreras et al., 2013). The mission of this agency lies in serving the Lord and their people. Target population served by agency Arlington group works for the community by offering free tax assistance to low-income group families who are eligible for tax credit. Their special focus is on tax payers above 60 years old. The Mission Arlington was involved in serving the low- income people and also the homeless people and children. Services and programs offered There are certain services and programs offered to the people. These are- Allan Saxe Dental Clinic, Bob Mann Medical Clinic, Children and Youth, Congregations/ Bible Studies, Emergency Assistance, Healthcare and Support Ministries, The Holidays, School Supplies, Spiritual help, and Sports ministry (Mahoney McMillen., 2014). Mission Arlington supplies basic school needs to support students of the community. Different ministries for children and youth, healthcare, spiritual help and crisis intervention are involved in supporting families in need (Mission Arlington | Mission Metroplex Services we provide, 2016). Criteria for clients in order to be served by the agency In this agency, so much evidence of eligibility criteria for selection in to the agency has been found. The agency is involved in serving all the people of all age group, gender, and income. The agency serves small children as well as other people equally. People of all ages came to church for hearing the Bible taught, and they serve all the students by building educational institutions for them Thought about agency as a profession nurse Mission Arlington had established Bob Mann Medical Clinic, which had been involved in serving the medical requirements of all the seeking people (Tai., 2013). As a professional nurse, I found it interesting to know that the hospital had been treating the patients without any cost. They remain open all the time and put all of their efforts in treating low income, poor people along with homeless children and adults. Working in such a mission would be an honor for the nurse, and so the agency had been chosen. Reference Bielefeld, W., Cleveland, W. S. (2013).
