Update from Steve Kohl

I am currently working on 3 operatories all exactly the same and other equipment that will go into the clinic. There is a great deal available from many sources. We want to put in equipment that can be used by anyone who comes to serve. In most cases the utilities will come to each chair. All chairs will need air, water and vacuum lines through the floor chase as per plans.

All of the operatory systems that I have looked at are refurbished and in excellent condition. We will also be looking at basic dental equipment for the lab. A computer and record keeping system is one of and maybe the most important things that we can install for the patient and the country. A system that can be interfaced with medical record system to locate endemic areas in Belize. I am working with a man who has a software record system which is extremely simple and easy for anyone to use for third world countries.

As soon as we decide exactly what equipment will be best for the dental clinic and all costs, I will pray and write a letter to a number of people who the Lord will touch to contribute to this very need. Please pray for God's mighty hand in all of this, not the least of which is the construction of the clinic.

There is great interest in Christian chiropractors coming to serve in Belize also. We had donated to Global a mobil table for chiropractic. It's in excellent shape. Also, a chiropractor in Wilmington is considering raising funds for a stationary table to be installed in the clinic. Somehow we will make room. God is going to see that this clinic will be used all the time.

May God's hand continue to be on this project as he guides this team to the finish line.
