Christmas Giving..
October was a low-key month for Altagracia, as the Giving Hands clinic functioned mainly through Dr. Jacob and the kids of the community had settled into their school routine. We took our first missionary representing trip to Puerto Rico the week of Oct. 5-12 and shared fellowship with our supporting church, Iglesia Plenitud del Reino. Dr. Jacob shared a presentation of our story and current ministries, and we began the plans for an upcoming collaborative mission trip of Christ-centered community outreach that will focus on dental and medical care.
