In 24 hours, we will all be in route via 4 different flight itineraries but with 1 united heart.

Our primary activities will center on providing the dentall clinic for at least the MdL children and  supporting the muTch feeding program by registering all of the children including creating name badges, updated shirts and interacting with their parents. We also expect to participate in the cooking of the muTch food & teach at the sessions, visit a prosthetic clinic and related soccer practice, be donkeys for a lot of supplies (thanks Giving Children Hope and others) and most importantly love on a lot of children, staff and missionary friends.

God is so awesome in the miracles that He has already performed!

Such as:

• The  new friends that are involved and who have taken ownership of the ministry
• It appears that between raised funds and promised funds, we have what we need for the expected expenses
• The bags are all packed and ready (except the last, last, last minute stuff)
• He used Gibb & Annette to provide the van and bag car
• More that $5,000 in donated dental supplies (We will have Chandra provide the supporters info later)
• The tremendous support in prayer from the sign-ups at MVCC
• The  beautiful prayer cards from Joanne Reid
• All of the supplies that have been provided and arranged
• Good health for the team members
• Three husband and wife teams on the trip
• One more Kubicki daughter experiencing MdL life
• Paul Beltis joining us there as one more Beltis Family member is experiencing MdL life.
• The blessings of the devotions

Our devotions were in John 9 today. I read that Jesus told the man who was blind that He was the one that he should worship. Before he had this conversation with Jesus, the healed man told the Pharisees that he didn't know the details of who Jesus was or His status but what he did know was that God could do such miracles only through one that listened to God and that he was blind from birth and now he could see. Jesus also told the  disciples that neither the man or his parents had sinned to cause the blindness but that it had occurred so that God might be glorified in it. So... Have we accepted  that Jesus is the one who has healed us and is the Messiah and the Lord? Have we accepted that we don't know all of the theological answers but that if we have a relationship with Jesus, He will tell us what we need to know and that He is what we should share with others? Do we know a very short version of a testimony that we can give when someone asks about our relationship with Jesus? Are we willing to be harmed, hurt, persecuted or be in tough places so that Jesus, our  Lord  Almighty, can be magnified and given glory? Are we willing to  give up anything that is blocking or hindering our relationship with Jesus?

We thank you for supporting us in PRAYER, finances, logistics and encouragement.

We'll try to add an update from the Jesus Birthday party & Dentist Visit that we did to Mercy Home in Tijuana tomorrow night.

May you be blessed for providing muTch through the LORD who provides it all.
