- Guatemala 2011
-
Recently I took a trip to Guatemala.
This was my second time there and I had no fears or expectations. I just wanted to wait and see what the Lord had to show me and teach me this year. I found the love of God in the children of Guatemala.
- Roatan 2010
-
The dental team to Roatan treated 436 children in 4 days.
All of this was done in 4 days with a team of 17 people in 100% humidity. The cold showers at night were a welcome relief from the long hot days.
- Guatemala 2010

The decay we saw was endless. The miracle was that not one child had any signs of an abcess.
We placed flouride varnish treatments on almost 500 children.

Another successful trip in Honduras with Hearts in Motion. This was our first opportunity to include dental sealants in the fluoride varnish program. Our hope is to continue and expand the dental sealant program in 2009.
- Guatemala 2007
Another amazing trip with HIM (Hearts in Motion) to Guatemala. I was part of an extensive plastic surgery team, a medical team and a dental team. We were able to bring the fluoride varnish program to over 800 kids.
It is impossible to capture on camera the joy that I saw on the faces of the people.
- Roatan 2007
I was part of an amazing Hearts in Motion (HIM) team that traveled to Roatan, Honduras in September. This was my 12th dental mission trip and my first experience with Hearts in Motion.
While I knew no one on the team and was the only dental person, I knew God had called me to go.
- Nigeria 2007
The July 2007 mission trip to the Rafiki Village Orphanage in Jos, Nigeria, West Africa focused on providing preventive dental care for the orphans and National Staff at the Rafiki Village.
