Lift Off! Summer Missions - Day 02
Sophomore, University of the Pacific
Dates: July 20 - August 1
Location: Myanmar
Organization: Friends of Grace
I will be working alongside 30 other people consisting of dentists, doctors, and pre-med/pre-dental students that will offer free medical, dental, and social services for local churches, Bible Schools, refugee camps, and orphanages in Myanmar. We hope to spread the love of God through treating over a thousand patients in two weeks. My specific role will include working as a chair side assistant to the dentists performing procedures such as extractions, root canals, and more.
I had previously gone on this trip in 2015 and have not stopped thinking about Myanmar since then. These past few summers, I have not had the chance to return, but when this opportunity arose to go with Friends of Grace again, I took it! I am currently pursuing a dental career and I want to be able to link my career with serving God, to go overseas and provide healthcare, showing God’s love through my actions.
I’m looking forward to serving people through dental aid and for the connections that are made with the Burmese despite the language barrier. Least looking forward to the irregular poop schedule…but ya know its all good!
Pray that Christ’s love will be seen through our actions as we serve the Burmese people, for our hearts to be softened to see things how Christ sees things, and for safety as we go through areas where it is politically unstable and where Christianity may not be as welcomed.
