Our latest Outreach !

Wed, 23 Mar 2011 15:04:00 GMT

Hello everybody!

We just returned from our first missions trip for the year. Again, it was a life changing experience. AND, I'm extremely excited for our 'blue prints' for a successful, eye-opening, life-changing missions trip. We held 3 days of dental clinics completing fillings, extractions, root canals and constructing DENTURES, built and finished an entire house from scratch - yes, from scratch, visited and worked along side a community that finds its food, income and treasure from a garbage dump, served a community of very impoverished people lunch, their only meal of the day, hosted a 3 day pastor's conference and a 3 night crusade. All in ONE WEEK!

Yesterday we had our final debriefing at our home and the testimonials of the trip were the best we've ever received. One of the most rewarding moments that we unanimously agreed upon, was when we handed over the keys to the house to the father of the family. There wasn't a dry eye on the entire street!

So, we are in the midst of planning our NEXT THREE TRIPS so that those of you that need a year or so to plan, can do so. Here are the dates for the next three trips to the Dominican Republic:
1. May 14th - 21st
2. October 22nd - 29th
3. January 29th - February 4th

. . . And Some Final Details

SOME MORE INFORMATION
There have been a lot of questions regarding the cost of the trip and we want to quickly address a few concerns. The break down of the estimated $2000 cost of the trip is as follows:

-$1100 flight

-$400 accomodations

-$500 building supplies/ground work/planning/transportation/translators/job site lunches

***NOTE: Shine the Light / Shine Dental profits $0 from your trip and $0 of your fare go to administration costs. We understand that in this day and age, it can be arduous to pinpoint valid and true charities. Dr. Brent Wong has the wacky idea that non-profits can be run without salaries. We all volunteer our time and do not receive pay for any work rendered.

If you haven't already, please RSVP so that we are able to reserve a spot for you.

We will only be taking 25 people per trip.

If there are any questions/concerns, please reply to this e-mail or call the office anytime at 477-4463. Also, please feel free to forward this email to someone else that you feel would be interested in an adventure such as this.

Yours in Health,
The Staff at Shine Dental
