Ep. 46 - God’s Math

In this episode I conclude my conversation with Brent Wong. We talk about how God has a different kind of math than we do. We also talk about value systems and the power of family. Vin Diesel wasn’t lyin’, Y’All. Family is where it’s at. About Brent Wong: Brent Wong is, above all, a child of God and also is a loving husband to Wendy and a dedicated father to Jonah and Isaiah. In 2000, Brent earned his second university degree, a Doctorate of Dental Medicine. By 2004, he had ventured into private practice, and today owns three general dentistry practices employing five dentists. His current focus is on dental implants and oral surgery for full-arch rehabilitation, as well as enjoying the entrepreneurial aspects of the dental business. In 2005, Brent and Wendy founded the Shine the Light Initiative, providing dental care to the world's underserved populations, from Africa to Mexico. Presently, their efforts are concentrated in a barrio of Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. Their ministry has built over 75 homes and a community center, with the support of groups from Canada and the United States. Over the past 19 years, more than 1200 people have come down on over 50 trips to help the underserved in the Dominican Republic Looking ahead, Brent plans to increase the number of trips to the Dominican Republic and expand job training programs at their community center, which is slated for an expansion project later this year. Brent firmly believes that lifting people out of poverty begins with a helping hand and ends when you have the honour of letting go.
