A Blessing in Peru (Sunnyside Church editorial) by Ray and Maria Kidwell

Ray and Maria Kidwell took their entire family on the Peru Mission Trip. Ray shares some parts of their experience: "Fresno Adventist Academy went on a 12-day Peru mission trip through the Quiet Hour Ministries. We were based near Cuzco, the home of Machu Picchu.

Thirtyfour students went along with over 15 staff and parents. The students preached eight sermons each at four churches and dozens of people accepted calls to be eventually baptized.

The medical team saw over 550 patients in four cities and one orphanage. Students ran the pharmacy, did intake and triage, performed blood pressures and blood sugar checks. Over 500 pairs of glasses were given out. Four students even performed dental injections and pulled teeth! The medical team consisted of Ray Kidwell (doctor) and Vanessa Greer (nurse practitioner), Maria Kidwell (dentist), Margie Recalde (optometry), Sam Recalde and Trish Johnson and three other nurses.

The construction team helped with painting, plumbing, and electrical services of the local churches.

Additionally, $10,000 was donated the help build the Cuzco SDA Church. We had a blessed trip!" Several families and students from Sunnyside were among those who served on this mission trip. We are proud of their contribution and thank God they have returned home safely

The Caregivers by Vanessa Greer

The medical team with Ray Kidwell MD Vanessa Greer ACNP Nancy Fernandez RN Art Fernandez RN Trish Johnson RN Tami Stanic RN Sam Ricalde RN with correspinding Dental team Maria Kidwell DDS and Penny Lutz dental assist and Vision exams by Margie Ricalde OD.

The medical clinic was set up with triage, clinics, pharmacy, message station and prayer station. Approx 139-150 people were seen each day...we extended hours every day and always had to turn people away. It was very hard to stop seeing those in such need.

Many walked up to four hours to see us. Isaiah 50:4 came alive as we saw many weary from the difficulties of life. Awesome group of people to work with and live with on this trip.

The kids were great worked well in all areas they were placed to work. High five to Blake Johnson who learned how to pull teeth and give a chair message. Also special mention to Ana Lindsay, Rachel Flores, Julianna Rickard for their willingness to assist with female clinic ♥.
