Working Together. Members of the Clifton Church and the Blacksburg/Lynchburg Church brigades along with members from the La Vega Church, Baxter Staff and Dr. Xiomara Erazo form a human chain. The bus was filled with food staples headed for distribution at the city dump. #baxterbrigades2017 #baxterclifton #baxterblacksburglynchburg #baxterhungerisreal (at Baxter Institute)

8 Years Running. The Fort Gibson, OK. Church first came to a December graduation and since then have faithfully returned to help plant a church and work with Baxter graduates. This is the house they built yesterday for $1000. #baxterbrigades2017 #baxterftgibsonchurch (at Baxter Institute)

Memorial Road Blesses Many. In their one week houses were built, walls painted, many fed, children hugged and Jesus shared. Our prayer is that they will return to assist again and that a few will give their lives to be missionaries. #baxtermemorialroad #memorialroadchurchofchrist #baxterbrigades2017 (at Baxter Institute)

MRCC Paint Crew & Jacob's Ladder. Baxter's eastern wall now has a fresh coat of paint. Next comes a winding path, security lighting, and razor wire. Some have also coined it "Stairway to Heaven". #baxterbrigades2017 #baxtercampus #baxtermemorialroad (at Baxter Institute)

The Biggest and the Best. Well, there are many "best" US brigades, but the Memorial Road church group is special - numbering 62 this year. Many are high school seniors and graduates. #baxterbrigades2017 #baxtermemorialroadchurch (at Baxter Institute)

Baxter pharmacist, Jessica Izaguirre: "the most productive week ever!" Last week VCOM School of Medicine came in force with 30 med student and school doctors. They traveled to some of the poorest areas in and around Tegucigalpa, to the communities of the Diamante and La Ciénaga churches. Jessica says: "we are the last station in the medical brigade. The individuals have seen the doctors and come to us for the meds. They say things like, 'muchas gracias, que el Señor me los bendiga / thank you very much, may the Lord bless you'. It fills our hearts to hear that." To all those who support Baxter, we hope that your heart is filled too. #baxterclinic #baxtervcom #baxterbrigades2017
