Free Dental Vision and Medical Clinic

On Sunday, October 29, our church was changed into a clinic to provide services to our community. We had lots of help from volunteers: dentist, oral surgeons, optometrist, Medial doctors, nurses, cooks, registration, clinic managers, health educators, barber, massage therapist, ministers, Bible workers, church members and friends.

Equipment was provided by Life and Health Ministries, and Dental services by Bancroft Dental Care, San Leandro, CA.

Over 80 volunteers helped us to make this a very special day for our church and our community.
