Crow indian nation outreach Aug 16-19, 2023
Michael Budincich and wife Claudia spent three days in Hardin, Montana
serving the Crow Indian nation with 6 other chiropractic doctors. The Doctors came from all around the United States as Members of the Christian Chiropractors Association, including Pittsburg, Chicago, Ohio, California and Indiana. We treated 1072 patient visits in the Spirit of Life Foursquare Church, in Crow Agency, Montana, as well as in the Tepee camps of the tribe and at the rodeo athletic events over the weekend. This was the 34th year of the CCA serving the Crow people. ReplyToMsg

The Colorado Airlift Outreach mission team asked Manos Con Alas to assist
in bringing Los Angeles based staff to the El Buen Pastor clinic and use of
our mission 15 passenger van. We have served with this organization about
20 or more years in different locations. First in Vizcaino, and then at
the La Esperanza Clinic in Nuevo Odisea in southern San Quintin Valley, and
more recently at the El Buen Pastor hospital.
This clinic on Sept
19-22 weekend served a record number of eye surgery patients with a total
of 41 in the two day clinic. OVer 200 other patients received prescription
eyewear by a large team of optometrists, lay opticians, and local
translators.

Rosarito Calvary Multidiciplinary clinic
Pastor Mike Vincent did not disappoint us with a large turnout for our
small Mission team of 9 members. 2 Drove and 7 flew in two aircraft.
Calvary Chapel Rosarito on April 14th provided a wonderful location and
taco lunch for our team. Many were served including about 45 dental
patients, 50-60 eye patients who were given readers and distance glases,
and 40-50 were given massage and manipulation. Mikes Sunday sermon was
worth the long border line too after the Service. We had not served there
in about two years so it was great to be back.

God on the move .
I have had the privilege of coming alongside this ministry and watching as
God touches the lives of many people south of the border as well as those
who serve! Oftentimes we think we are going down there to serve them and
touch their lives, but they are in fact the ones that bless us. Thank you
to Manos Con Alas for this wonderful and caring ministry. It is amazing
how things always seem to fall into place no matter how many obstacles get
in our way. Michael has a heart for serving, and so do all of the people
who join together to form this ministry of serving our King!

An Experience Worth Repeating!
I have been volunteering for a couple years now and each time is a new
adventure in the service of the Lord. It's been so rewarding to foster new
relationships with people outside our normal every day life that touch your
heart and change you for the better. When you're out on a mission trip,
life can slow down and find true meaning in service for others no matter
your skill set or education. Looking forward to the next trip!

Ojos Negros and Chapultepec/Ensenada outreach
We just got back from a fantastic outreach to the El Refugio teen girls
safe home hosted by Sandy and Randy Huebert, their daughter Larissa, and
Grandparents parents Ulmer and Grandma Huebert, Hard working and dedicated
Canadian missionaries with a real heart for these previously abandoned or
abused yound girls and teens.
This past weekend we served these girls
on their on property with the MDU dental trailer and took care of 23 girls,
including a young woman with a badly chipped tooth that was beautifully
restored by Dr Mike Yung of Pasadena.
Our team had three
dentists, Dr Mark DeLeon, Dr, Trevor Lance Windsor, and MIke Yung, DDS.
One chiropractor (ME) serving in eyeglasses ministry ONLY due to recovery
from total shoulder replacement in late February. ALthough my shoulder is
not strong enough nor painless enough to tollerate firm adjustments, I am
able to serve in refracting eyes and dispensing simple planar single vision
lenses.
Our team had three pilots consisting or Mike Gabelman,
Mauricio Gonzalez, and myself.
Our dental team between Friday
and Saterday served 66 patients, and 60 pairs of prescription eyewear were
dispensed in Ojos Negros by the "one armed" chiropractor.
Our
equipment ran well with a few minor electrical hiccups, but overall a
smooth operation.
Our next Outreach to the Ensenada area should
be in late June or early July.

Rejoice in God's Work!
As a new board member and past and future participant of MCA, I have
dedicated myself to giving back a small part of the skills I have acquired
over my life, and it has been very rewarding. As both a Christian and a
person who has always wanted to help others, MCA is the perfect avenue for
short term medical mission work. On these trips you will see the fruit of
your labor in the eyes of those you serve. Whether you treat kids or
adults, you are likely to be amazed at how thankful and loving they are in
return. Your time and donations truly give meaning to the idea that we are
all connected and we are all God's children. When you serve those in need,
you are serving your family and you are serving yourself. Have an
adventure, answer the call to help others, and join up today!
