Remember this? Then did you pray when we got this? Then I think you will especially enjoy the following:
Dear Pastor Bob,
I wanted to take a minute as we returned a week ago from our 2 week ministry to the Tenek Indian people in the area of Santa Martha, Mexico to say a special "thank you" to all at Morning Star Baptist Church for the toothbrushes sent our way. Many of the people we treated were among the poorest of poor in the world, which was a little surprising to us. In some villages, most, if not all, had never seen a dentist and did not own, nor could they afford, a toothbrush! Needless to say, they eagerly
lined up to receive one of the brushes we were giving out. Thanks to the generous folks at Morning Star we had plenty to pass out and even left some with the local missionary to give out in other remote villages he visits in the future.
The bottom line to this is that the dental clinic and the VBS type of ministry the rest of our team had to local children has generated a lot of good will and a number of new contacts for the local missionary. He has been invited back to several of the locations to begin Bible studies. It's sometimes hard for us to comprehend how something so seemingly insignificant as a toothbrush could be a help in opening up an opportunity to share the gospel!
So, once again, a hardy thank you to all from Morning Star Baptist Church who were such an integral part of this most recent evangelistic dental ministry to the glory of God!
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Jack & Jennifer
