Hi and welcome to Mission Connection 2010. On behalf of the missionary family here at Global Outreach, I want to thank you for attending!
I'm Dave Fields. I'm the IT Missionary at Hospital Loma de Luz. Which means "Hill of Light". We're located here on the North Coast of Honduras, right next to the Caribbean Sea.
What is "IT" or "Information Technology"? Well, it can be helping a doctor communicate with a colleague in The States on a difficult case or maintaining the software system that we use for patient intake.
It can be as simple as helping a missionary family stay in touch with the folks back home or utilize the Internet to help educate their children.
But as much as technology is what I do here, I don't think it is why I am here. I'm here to serve Christ.
I'm here to be a part of the work of Hospital Loma de Luz in which God physically demonstrates His love each day to some of the poorest people in the world.
There's a poverty here in Central America that we couldn't possible have imagined before moving here. But there is also an understanding of God here in this place that goes way beyond our americanized understanding of Him.
