Dr. Brian with malnourished baby
“Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.”
– John Wesley
Dr. Tom Brian is a dentist, but his United Methodist-related ministry is doing more than just dental work in Honduras. It’s giving new life to children with cleft lips and club feet, feeding malnourished babies, educating kids and a lot more in a remote and rugged part of Honduras.
In a posting here last week I called your attention to “Kids Against Hunger,” a Christian nonprofit that does wonderful work in feeding the needy around the world. I noted that some of my fellow ordained brothers and sisters from the Dallas area were going to hook up with the Kiwanis Club in Allen, Texas, to package meals for Kids Against Hunger. Seven of us did just that, donning aprons and hair nets and mixing and packing about 3,200 meals that will be shipped to Honduras to a nonprofit there called “Send Hope.”
“Send Hope” was founded by Dr. Brian, a dentist and United Methodist lay member in Allen who has been committed most of his entire adult life to building up the Send Hope ministry that he founded as a young man.The Allen Kiwanis does its Kids Against Hunger work in a building owned by Dr. Brian next to his dental practice, and the dentist was on hand to show us how to package the meals for shipment to his Honduras ministry. (He’s a member of Rotary, not Kiwanis, but oh well.)
He also gave us a Power Point presentation about his ministry and Jitterbuggers need to go to www.send-hope.org to see what this man of God and dentistry has done.
Or, as I’m sure he would say, what God has done through him and his family to lift up people in Honduras.
Check it out.
