My name is John A. Williford. My family and I serve as missionary associates for our head missionaries Glenn and Nancy Garrison. My wife Kelli, works as a teacher at Happy Horizons Academy and my two kids Clara (4) and Lincoln (3) go to school at the same Academy. We have lived here at the Ranch since December 2010.
This past week I had the privilege of assisting the this dental team to various parts of Cebu Island where we have Mission of Mercy projects. Though I missed my family while I was traveling I had a great time. The dental team was amazing to watch. They brought their own equipment including a dental chair that could fold down into a box! They worked so hard to help as many kids and adults as possible. It was sad to see how many kids lived each day tooth pain. I can only imagine the relief they felt once the dentist removed the abscessed tooth. As a parent I can imagine the relief each mother and father felt knowing they don’t have to comfort their child while she cries over a hurting tooth night after night. Praise God for this dental team. I don’t want to over look our optometrist. I could see the joy on each face as they received their new eye glasses. One mother was so happy because she could now see clearly far away so she could drive her motor bike with out fear (the motor bike here is cross between a scooter and a motorcycle, and is the most common mode of private transportation). For me it was a real blessing to see the dentist and optometrist giving so freely their time and energy to help those in need. Praise God for body of Christ being able to come together to complete the will of God.
I put together the above video so I am behind the camera instead of in front of it. I am only in one shot. The slide that says “Malapascua Dental Team” I am in the top left hand corner. I hope you enjoy the video. I love to see Christians giving generously and using their God given gifts and talents to bless others. “…to whom much is given much is required…” Luke 12:48
