Ecuador Dental Mission Trip 2024

Enlighten Dental Care (The office of Dr. Daniel Driscoll) embarked on their first team mission trip in 2023 to Ecuador. It was such a success that before leaving Ecuador tentative plans for a return trip in 2024 were being made. Dr. Dan met Marco and Mayra Vinicio through his church, Ardmore Baptist, and they hit it off immediately. Dr Dan felt led to help their community and began making plans to bring our dental team to some of the most remote parts of Ecuador.

Marco and his wife volunteer for Rescate Ecuador, a foundation in the town of Cajabamba. His father, Miguel, started the foundation in the early 2000's and they currently minister to 35 locations, in addition to partnering with local schools to promote higher education in the community. The indigenous peoples in neighboring towns and communities are served by his foundation in many ways. One of their primary needs is medical and dental care. Our first trip was very successful, as we were able to set up and work in 4 different communities over 5 days seeing about 350 patients. Our entire staff was greatly blessed by the humbleness, pure love and gratitude of the people.

As you can imagine a lot goes into planning for these types of trips. We decided to reach out to our family, friends and patients to help bless and fund our next trip. We will all be leaving our husbands, wives, children and income for a total of 8 days! No matter how big or small, every donation moves us closer to our goal and will be used directly to serve the wonderful people of that community with much needed medical care and to help spread the word of God.

Our trip is scheduled for April of 2024 and we would love if you could also cover our team in prayer as we undertake this next mission. If you have any questions at all, please contact our office or ask any member of our team at your next visit.

Sincerely,

Dr Dan Driscoll and the entire EDC team
