"Seeing children that I have grown to know and love cover their young faces with their hands when they smile because their teeth are ruined by poor diet, poor dental hygiene, and lack of dental care has inspired me to work to make a difference in their lives by helping to provide a place where they can come and receive treatment and care, and see God's love in action!" ~Ron Mashburn

Smilin'

Hello, everyone! Being a new blogger, I am not sure of all the protocol, but I am rarely at a loss for words, so here goes!

When Barry Haggerty and Joe Hamrick dragged me kicking and screaming down to Honduras in 2005, I had no idea what a significant journey that trip would be the beginning of! Six years and eight trips later, Honduras seems like a second home to me and the people there a part of my family.

Where would you go if you believed God was in it? What would you do to help those in need around the world? Someone recently said to me, "I wish I could afford to do something like that!". I replied, "My friend, if God is calling you to whatever or wherever, you can't afford NOT to!"

The process now is prayer, preparation and fund raising. I am locating and securing dental equipment and supplies to send over ahead of my trip. I am preparing my business to be without me for three months. I am arranging for worship leadership to continue at Forest Park seamlessly. I am praying, and I am thanking God for this opportunity!

Please join me in prayer, or hop on the plane and go with me if you feel led to! And if you can't go...feel free to "chip in"!!

Thanks for reading my blog.....if you made it this far I know you will be a part of my dream team!

Later!

Ron
