My first trip to Guatemala was at 17.

Years later in student ministry, I helped co-lead and organize half a dozen trips to Guatemala and Peru. Forty to fifty teenagers at a time.

Keeping them alive was the job. Reminding them every single day not to drink the water. Comforting the homesick and the mom-sick. Collecting every passport after boarding. Buddy system, always. Counting heads a million times on every ride.

This trip was different.

This time my own daughter came on her first mission trip. She’s sixteen 🤍

My hope and prayer for her is that a spark was lit. Even a small one. The kind that opens her heart to injustice and compassion for people, and maybe even opens up possibilities for her future purpose. She got to do some dental assisting, and she truly loved it ✨

Thank you @freetosmilefoundation and my brother-in-law Seth Conley for taking such good care of our group and uniting us around such a meaningful mission at the Village of Hope.

Village of Hope employs more staff than there are girls. On purpose. 🇬🇹

This week the @freetosmilefoundation dental team provided critically needed general dentistry to young women who have been rescued from trafficking and abusive homes, along with young women living with disabilities.

@villageofhope gives them a new life, dignity and hope. Every girl receives real care. Therapy. Nutrition. Life skills and the chance to learn a talent. Even how to be a good mom, because some of these girls become pregnant as young as 11 and 12.

It’s the kind of safe place where a girl can get a little of her spark back. Smile again. Start to heal.

We had multiple mother daughter duos on this trip, and bringing Aliya made it extra special. She had the opportunity of a lifetime to step in as a dental assistant for three days. She picked it up quickly and loved it. Proud mom over here. Thank you to the dentists on the trip for inviting her in and for noticing a spark in Aliya that could lead to something @jenniferjmillerdds

Aliya also helped me set up sterilization. I loved that station. It’s tactile, and I’m a little obsessive about germs and good systems, so it was the perfect fit.

Thank you, Free to Smile, for having us and for letting our team capture the story of Village of Hope. @studio8e8

The Art → The Artist 📸

Behind every great photo is someone who notices the details others miss.

Meet Alexis👋 one of the incredible photographers behind so many of the stories we get to tell.

Alexis is a rockstar, a Road Dog if you will (59,205 miles flown last year!!!). She’s a hard worker, detail-oriented, and the best photo editor on this side of the Mississippi. 😏 Her work speaks for itself, but it’s her kindness, work ethic, and commitment to our clients that make her truly exceptional.

We’re grateful for the talent and character she brings to our team and the stories she helps our clients share every day. 📸
