On August 3, 2007, six of us will leave SF for Puerto Cabezas, Nicaragua, Central America, for a ten-day trip with the goal of helping serve the dental needs of our friends at Casa Bernabe (House of Barnabas) Children's Home and the several ministries of Verbo Church in 'Port'. Two of us are longstanding veterans, two have been in Nicaragua a time or few, and two are making their first trip. We are two teachers, a nurse, a dental assistant, a dental hygienist, and a dentist, and besides working in dentistry, we will be spending time with the kids in classes and many other ways as well... possibly puppeteering! (Better introductions upcoming when we get a pic of the faces involved!)
Saturday we meet to make tamales to raise funds for overweight luggage and other unforseen costs which have a way of springing up. Several on the team already made 30 dozen tamales and earlier a big garage sale was held to raise expenses as well.
We invite you to check out our blog here, to see what we're up to, and most importantly, so you can pray for us as we prepare and go. Experience has made clear that both what God does through us as well as in us is blessed especially as the entire effort is saturated in prayer.
