Where do the efforts of two radio programme producers, a few volunteers
and a Dallas grocery executive converge?
At the handle of a toothbrush.
At the Spotlight Listeners´ Club.
At English Fellowship Church in Quito.
That´s right! They did ! Toothbrushes. And here´s how it all happened recently.
Janine selects the “Caring for Your Teeth” programme, produced by
Spotlight´s Rebecca Schipper and Joshua Leo. “I wonder if we can find
someone to donate toothbrushes that night,” she muses. A quick e-mail
message to former SLC volunteers, Karen and Sam, now ministering in
Dallas.
They relay the request to Karen´s brother-in-law, Dan, the grocery
executive and he agrees to donate a couple hundred toothbrushes. Coming
back to Ecuador for other volunteer work, Karen and Sam bring the
brushes for us.
About a hundred English-language learners come to a January SLC club at EFC to listen to “Caring for Your Teeth” and then practice speaking English with others. They each receive a toothbrush. Then, with lots of brushes left over, we take Dallas Dan´s Donation and bless yet another EFC ministry,
Pan de Vida.
On Wednesday, February 27 we're planning more English-language learning fun. We will begin at the usual 6:30 p.m. start time and our topic is “The Belly Button.”
We don´t plan to be giving away any brushes.

One time Janine wondered whether the topic of "Pizza" provided enough opportunity to visit with people about the Lord. That story is told here

Hey there, Ralph. Good article! I love the way you ended up. :o)
And speaking of Belly Buttons, I have a personal request: I've always wanted to know what's on the backside of one's belly button! Does it merely look like the front side?
When one was "attached" to his/her mom, did the juices just go thru the belly button hose and just sort of leak all over inside the belly? It doesn't keep me awake at nights -just curious.
So if they address that, let me know, OK? :o) When I ask people, they just sort of look at me kind of funny... doesn't anyone want to know 'cept me?!
Do you have an "innie" or an "outtie"?
