Hey y'all!

As you may know, I'm going to Nicaragua this Spring with Dr. T. Bob Davis to provide dental care for the people of San Marcos, Nicaragua.  Our group will consist of dentists, hygienists, dental assistants, translators, and students from Baylor Dental College and UT Houston Dental Branch.  We will be traveling March 13th through the 18th during our Spring Break holiday.

(Fill in this paragraph with a personal message if you like-ie. your purpose for going, it's your first mission trip, what previous mission trips have meant to you, family note, etc.)

We have been asked to raise funds as a group to support this work and this year’s trip.  It is costing 3 times what previous trips to Matamoros, Mexico, had cost due to the distance and legal permissions, longer trip time and setting up new clinics.  Honestly, I need financial help to go.  God has promised blessings for those who serve Him and that extends to those who help make it happen as well as those who physically go.  I believe that promise and ask you to be our prayer support also.

If you feel led to send a contribution, please address it to me at:

(Place your name and address here and any contact telephone number or email.  Please do not have anyone send it to T. Bob since you must send your airline payment and Expenses payment to T. Bob with your application and with the exact amount for each in a check with you name and address on it.  T. Bob can not match contributions to attendees nor credit funds to any one account.)

Please put "Dental Mission Nicaragua 2011" in the memo line.  We have a deadline of Jan. 6th to pay for the group airfare (or we loose the low group rate) and I have to have the funds in the group account on that day.

Regardless of whether you are able or feel moved to financially support this work, we would appreciate your prayers and thoughts while we are down there. The area we will be travelling to is relatively safe but the work will likely be challenging!

I'm excited about this opportunity to serve others and support the local pastor's work on the mission field.  Dental care is a real door opener for the pastors to reach out to those hurting.  Thank you in advance for your support.

Gratefully,
