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 (February 2007)
El Salvador Trip 2 (February 2007)
Dr. Domo went back to El

of the children and workers. He also went out into the surrounding community to
help those in need. Here's a short video clip!

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
In case you missed the special email I sent, 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.
**Matthew 25:40**
"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.'

El Salvador (March 2006)
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 team 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.
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.
