A team of volunteers had a desire to serve the residents of Camarin, North Caloocan—and this birthed from a simple prayer of sharing joy by giving better smiles to the community. 

Just this September, the team partnered with dentists and held a dental mission for the community. They were stationed at the counseling stop where patients had to be before being treated. By God’s grace, the team listened, encouraged, prayed, and preached the gospel to 138 patients, face-to-face and one-on-one.

They were also able to pray for and encourage some of the dentists who served alongside them who did not yet have a relationship with Jesus.

Praise God for this privilege of proclaiming Him and comforting others through listening and prayer! These are some testimonies from the dental mission:

An elderly man with a speech disorder found hope and confidence in Christ after one of our team members prayed for him. It was the first time in his 62 years that someone had prayed for him.

A teenager who was longing for her parents’ presence and care received Christ’s perfect love for the first time. This perfect love casts all her fears now through one of the volunteers who shared a word of encouragement with her.

A married woman found her greatest love in the Lord when she heard the gospel, and many others found the greatest joy in Christ’s salvation.

As a church, whatever way or platform it may be, may everything we do to serve the community lead us back to God’s Great Commission for us: to go and make disciples of all nations wherever we may be. And it starts with preaching the gospel—the good news that brings true and lasting joy.
