From a small beginning.

• In June, 2000, a work group from the First
  Presbyterian Church of Fargo, North Dakota, USA,
  traveled to the PCEA Kikuyu Hospital in Kenya.
  They took with them supplies to equip a small
  room at the hospital for a dental clinic.

3

• Upon arrival at Kikuyu Hospital, the dental
  supplies were unpacked and inventoried by Dr.
  Bill Hunter, a dentist from Fargo, and his wife
  Carolyn.

The room where the clinic was to be located and
the available dental chairs were shown to the
Hunters.
4
the dream began

• During that visit, discussion continued between
  Dr. Hunter and the Medical Officer in Charge, Dr.
  Salvador de la Torre and the trip leaders, the
  Rev. Richard Raum and Sharon Secor. The dream of
  building a modern, well equipped dental unit
  began.

5

• Since then, the path has been similar to the
  paths walked in Kenya filled with ruts and
  sometimes seemingly impassable,

6

• but always lined with beauty and the miraculous
  evidence of God at work in the world.

7

• And through it all has been the constant truth
  that
• with God, all things are possible.
