URGENT: Dentist needed for mission trip to Marshall Island March 14–18, 2010. The Upper Columbia Seventh-day Adventist Church adopted the island of Namu in the Marshall Islands with plans to help reopen the Adventist school there. It has been closed for 20 years because the islanders could not afford the $10/month tuition. A mission trip has been planned to kick off the project. A team of five, including one dentist, planned to go. But the dentist recently suffered a significant hand injury, forcing him to cancel. The team is in urgent need of a replacement dentist. If someone can pay their own way, that would be wonderful, but money should not be an issue. Anyone qualified and/or interested can contact Mel Wade at 509-245-3684, 409-245-3643, or 409-981-9511. Visit the Namu Project website for more information. (3/10/10)
