Setting up the first dental clinic

OH MY GOODNESS!!! There is so many different jobs to get a dental team up and running. The amazing part of all this is they got it all set up and ready within 45 minutes. There is putting the sets together, setting up the instruments, filling packs for pain meds, making sure they did the exact fomula for cleaning instruments, making sure the generator and air compressor ran correctly, organizing the set up for the patients, making sure the blood pressure cuff machine had batteries and after all that was done they opened in prayer before starting the clinic. Everyone seemed to know where to go and what to do. There was several new folks on the team and you would have never known. They all worked side by side without a hitch. Before seeing each patient the dentist prayed with their patient. Mrs. Alice found her way to the church to lead in songs and bible stories while the patients waited to be seen. A God moment during the first day was when a lady ask how much would this cost her? The team said nothing this is a gift from GOD. It is our pleasure to serve you today. One patient got in the dentist chair and thanked God for the opportunity to have her teeth checked. She praised the Lord several times before they started working on her. Alot of these people have never seen a dentist before. I was standing with the choir director of the church, Karen, watching her expression of all the equipment, the noise coming from the equipment and all that was going in the Sunday School classroom she also teaches in on Sunday morning. This was probably her first experience with a dentist. By the way she was the last patient to be seen on the last day of the clinic. Karen is a humble servant and always puts others ahead of herself. During this clinic there were five people who accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. The dental team healed physical needs and provided spiritual needs as well. Each person who accepted Christ received a bible to take home and continue their walk with the Lord. Pastor Carlos also prayed with them and encouraged them to come to church with other fellow believers.

"And HE said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned."

Mark 16:15-16
