mPower's Report on Recent Dental Training



Let us share a wrap-up from Linda Webster at mPower.  It was sent as an email to FLC and it states so beautifully her appreciation for what God did in Myanmar.  Here is what Linda wrote:

I think the best way to describe our recent trip to Myanmar for training with the Barefoot Doctors is with punctuation:  !!!!!!!

Our team completed the training in the best spirits.  We were delighted to partner with Frontier Laborers for Christ in equipping the Barefoot Doctors to perform dental extractions.  When my friends ask what I liked about our recent trip, I have trouble listing all the positive things because there are so many!

>Most important:  Our students were excellent.  They were devoted to the training and were intent on learning what we were teaching.  AND, they all saw this as a powerful tool to take the Gospel to the hard places, even to the ends of the earth.
>Our facility was perfect.  We appreciate that Abraham and his church rushed to finish construction of the church building.  It was perfect for our needs, allowing all of the students to work in the same room with room to include the sterilization table. 
>Jung, Abraham, and Timothy were the very picture of servants.  They spent so much of their time making sure our team could continue our work.  Every item that we asked for in advance was made available, just like we asked for.  In addition, they were very gracious to cover our mistakes when we had to ask for items that we had not mentioned before, but had overlooked in our packing.  Thank you to each of them for being so patient with us.
>Abraham and his family also took good care of us.  His wife prepared the most delicious lunches for us and never expected any credit for it.  And when we found out that they also hosted all of the students, we were overwhelmed by their generous nature.
>One of the things that is critical to mPower for a successful training is having enough patients.  Again, God and the leadership team worked to make this happen.  At one point Abraham's son was even out on his motorcycle advertising our clinic!  So, we praise God, we had just the right number of patients. 
>We really appreciate the leadership provided for the Barefoot Doctor programs.  There were some difficult decisions to be made during our training and Jung, along with Abraham and Timothy were wonderful leaders as they worked through the issues to ensure that our CHDW's were successful.  I appreciate the vision they have for the future and the practical wisdom they use in the present.

We could not ask for a better partnership in working to make God's Name famous to the ends of the earth.  Thank you for letting us participate with you,
Linda
