“It’s like we never stop,” Brandy said with a laugh. “And that’s good.”
He’s not wrong — Sowers4Pastors is always on the move, and this week is no exception. The team is gearing up to welcome a visiting dental team from the U.S., led by longtime friend and faithful servant, Dr. Annette.
“Dr. Annette has been coming to Honduras for years,” Brandy shared. “She has such a heart to serve, and the medical teams she leads are a huge blessing for the communities, the churches, and especially the kids.”
Last year’s trip included visits to communities where some residents had never seen a dentist before. It was both eye-opening and humbling — for the team and for those receiving care. “It can be a little overwhelming because the team never knows exactly what they’ll find,” Brandy said. “But they’re so happy to be here and to use their skills to serve people and honor Jesus.”
This year’s team includes 19 volunteers from the States, plus two Honduran dentists — a sign of growing local engagement in the ministry’s mission. One of the most exciting developments is the involvement of Alejandro’s sister, a dentist who eagerly agreed to volunteer for the trip. Not only that, but she also “volunteered” her husband—who happens to be a dentist as well!
It’s a beautiful example of the way this ministry continues to build bridges — between nations, families, and communities.
The team will visit two locations, spending two days in each. One stop will be in Guacutao, a central hub for several of the sister churches. The team will set up inside a large church, using the space as a temporary dental clinic.
The second location is in a community that has never before hosted a dental team. It’s a meaningful milestone for families in that area, where basic dental care is often financially out of reach. “We’re excited to bring care to this area for the first time,” Brandy said. “It’s another way to show people the love of God in action.”
Brandy reflected on the many ways the Gospel is shared through the ministry: “We can share the Gospel in so many ways — through preaching, helping with food, giving out backpacks, sharing the Bible, and yes, even through dental care.”
The team hasn't arrived yet, but preparations are in full swing — and so are expectations. “We are expecting blessings for the communities,” Brandy said.
Every time people come with willing hearts and open hands, God shows up.
