Please pray for our mission work, bringing the Peace of Christ through the healing arts to those in the world around us.
God
calls all to be involved in His mission work. You can help and be involved in an
important part of Christian mission work. Some go, some send. Dr. Domo
has heard God's question, "Who will go?" (Isaiah 6:8) and has answered,
"Here I am Lord, send me." Please consider a donation to help cover the cost of supplies and expenses of the trips. Donations are tax deductible. Check can be made out to "Teams to the Nations," and can be sent to our office. Thanks!
Dr. Domo's trip to El Salvador (Video from February 2007, trips in 2006-2009)
In
March 2006, after hours of long work, Dr Domo set up a dental clinic
in the Love and Hope Orphanage in San Salvador, El Salvador. The group
went with "Teams to the Nations."
El Salvador Known as the land of volcanoes, natural disasters
including hurricanes and earthquakes as well as twelve years of civil
war, have left this tiny Central American Country in unyielding
poverty. Its people are among the most malnourished in hemisphere, and
the most helpless victims are 6,000 orphaned or abandoned children. A
50% unemployment rate, jobs that pay as little as essentials as costly
as those in the U.S. make ere survival'' Imagine living in a one room
house made of scrap sheet crumbling bricks, and cardboard with no
electricity or running water. This is reality for more than half the
population. Imagine children roaming the streets begging for food,
digging through garbage or turning to prostitution or gangs. Imagine
these harsh realities: I in 10 children have been orphaned or abandoned
80% of the children suffer from malnutrition 59% of the population
lives below the poverty level 80% have no sanitation, 93% have no
electricity 270,000 minors work as street vendors 30% of children do
not attend primary school 15% graduate 12th grade.
Donations are Encouraged! Please make your check out to Teams to the Nations and mail to our office for forwarding.

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send?
And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” Isaiah 6:8
Care on the Square
We are collecting coats for the homeless in Cleveland. Care-on-the-Square distributes food and clothing on Public Square to Cleveland's poor and homeless. We've already had several contributions and they've already been passed out! Here's a chance to help out in your own backyard. And help clean out those overpacked closets! Thanks.

"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'
Love, Inc.
They say kindness begins at home. So, of course not only do we serve regionally, and across the globe, but locally also. We are happy and proud to serve our local friends in need through the Ohio Dental OPTIONS program and through Love, Inc. Through these programs we provide dental care to individuals who are our neighbors in need. Isaiah 6:8
RAM Ohio
Not limited to world travel, Dr. Domo supports local relief effort also. RAM Ohio is committed to
delivering free quality healthcare to Ohioans who are uninsured and
underinsured. Our aim is to help relieve suffering, identify disease, restore
sight, and enhance the lives of impoverished and isolated people and communities
in need in the state of Ohio. RAM Ohio health expeditions provide care to those
who otherwise would not have access to such essential services. Dr. Domo will
join other dedicated dentists and hygienists perform emergency extractions,
restorations, cleanings, fillings and fluoride treatments.
Santo Domingo, Mexico (October 2004)
October 7&10, 2004 - Santo Domingo.
Santo
Domingo Santo Domingo is a fishing village about a 45‑minute drive from
Ciudad Constitucion. Why were we doing clinics in this fishing village?
Alex Buentello, one of the missionaries in La Paz who is also a marine
biologist, has a fabulous plan to change the lives of the people in
Santo Domingo over the next 5‑7 years! He is working with the Mexican
government and has received several private grants for this project. He
and others will work with the fisherman to establish fish farming and
improved fishing techniques in this and other villages. At the same
time, the missionaries from La Paz and church members addressed such
issues as alcoholism, drug abuse, domestic violence, etc. and led Bible
studies. The ultimate goal is, of course, to change people's lives
through the message of the gospel, while also improving their ability
to provide for their families. The government knows this is a Christian
project, and if it is successful, (which it will be if it is God's
plan!) could have a tremendous impact not only on these communities,
but on people in the government as well. Who knows where it could be
implemented next?! The medical clinics were a tangible way to show
people that their well‑being is our main goal. The people there have
very little access to medical care. Martin Gonzalez, one of the TEAM
missionaries we have been working with for the past 10 years, said it
was one of the most successful clinics we have ever done in Mexico ! We
stayed in Constitucion and drove to the village for the clinics on
Friday and Saturday.
Travel was in private planes. There are approximately 1,200 people in
Santo Domingo . Workers were in all healthcare fields, as well as
counselors and evangelists.
