I recently returned from an incredible medical mission trip to Rethuela, Guatemala. As part of the dental team, I was blessed to work alongside 41 dedicated brothers and sisters in Christ across our medical, dental, and optical teams. Together, by God's grace, we provided care to over 1,700 patients and witnessed 700 salvations.

These trips are a divine calling for me, allowing me to immerse myself in different cultures, travel to new places,and serve those in need of healthcare. The fellowship and friendship formed along the way are a testament to God's love and unity among His people.

During this mission, I cleaned teeth, gave Fluoride treatments, I handed out many toothbrushes and toothpaste, reviewed dental home care, and discussed better nutrition habits to help prevent tooth decay. I also had the opportunity to pray with many individuals, seeking God's guidance for their spiritual growth and for the expansion of their church facilities to welcome more members. The people of Rethuela hold a special place in my heart, and I will continue to lift them up in my prayers. I love the people of Guatemala and entrust them to God's care.

A heartfelt thank you to Upward Twist for your unwavering support and generous donations. Your contributions made it possible for me to serve with this amazing group. God bless you all!
