A Winnipeg couple is building houses in the Dominican Republic virtually this year.
Brent and Wendy Wong own Shine Dental in Winnipeg. Brent is the lead dentist and Wendy went to school for interior design. The couple has put their passion to use in the kingdom of God with their ministry called Shine the Light. A normal trip would take place three times a year. We go down in January, May, and October and we ve done these trips for the past 15 years or so, says Brent.
During these trips, the Shine the Light crew offer the local people dentistry and medical services as well as build houses for those in need. All of this takes place in the community of Javier, just outside of Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic.
