What is GO BE?
Is a non-profit organization that aims to reduce dental causes of death and assist in establishing dental clinics and rural dental training centers strategically located to serve the most remote and needy communities.
Why the name “GO BE”?
«Go» is the mandate that Jesus gives us. «Be» is what Jesus declares we will do; Be his witnesses, Be the salt of the earth, Be his witnesses, Be the light of the World, we are called to Be, so we can do.
He said to them, “GO into all the world…”
Mark 16:15a
“And you will BE my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth”
Acts 1:8b
GO BE Plan
GO BE fulfills its mission by connecting with other Non-profit organizations and assisting them in their goal of establishing Dental clinics, mobile or permanent, acting as a “conduit” between the resources (Dental Suppliers, Equipment and Volunteers) and such organizations.The networks of contacts are vital for the development of our vision, therefore, strategic partnership would be established with Non profit Organizations, Dental professionals, equipment specialists and dental suppliers, Dental associations and Dental technicians; contractors and all who commit to providing their knowledge and time to help develop these international clinics.
Go be International is not limited to dental services. Our vision expands more: As we “Go Be” We Create Awareness, Empower and Mobilize one community to help improve another.
GO BE trains teams with the same heart and mission. GO BE is about abiding in Jesus and then bearing much fruit. We Believe we become more like Jesus the more we learn to Be in Him and with Him.

Our Story
I am particularly compelled by the Great Commission. Since I was a teenager my pastor in the Dominican Republic taught us street evangelism in the center of Santo Domingo and in the countryside and the remote villages with the “American” missionaries, many times as a translator. We were not afraid to work hard, share the Gospel, sing worship songs and help people to show the Love of Christ.
We enjoyed those trips and saw God’s hand move with power. My dream was always to be a missionary. I imagined myself traveling the world with YWAM (youth with a mission), a ministry that trained us in evangelism and missions.
Through these experiences I was inspired to become a dentist and 5 years after moving to the United States, in 2002, I had the opportunity to travel to West Africa along with YWAM and the Ship Anàstasis to serve as a missionary. This experience transformed my life.
I will never forget the people, the heat, the smells and the long “cues” or lines these people had to make, sometimes staying overnight to hold their place in order not to lose it. Children, adults and the elderly with terrible dental conditions that did not have access to the most basic dental care: a toothbrush.
Long days of work for six weeks, in order to try to meet the immense need in the Gambia. The frustration flooded my head, I didn’t understand. How was it possible that the help we were providing could make a difference? We needed to do something else but what?
In 2007 I had the opportunity to open my own practice, and with that I started networking with colleagues and local organizations. One of them was Dr. Jean Arthur, who spoke to me about The “Good Shepherd Dental Clinic”, a dental clinic she had established, inside a homeless
shelter in Providence RI. She invited me to volunteer and serve the community with my talents.
This was a clear call to action in my own “Backyard”. For 11 years “The Good Shepherd” became my local mission field and the clinic set-up to soon serve as a model for Go Be dental ministry, internationally. So, In 2014 we traveled to Guatemala, where God opened new doors
for and for almost 10 years we have been able to help support this beautiful Nation. This is how God lead us to create Go Be International.
Since then, we devoted our efforts to serve the most neglected communities we can reach, bringing portable Dental Care with “HOPE OF LIFE” and “WORSHIP ROOM» . In 2019, Go Be helped establish a dental clinic in the Haitian/Dominican Republic border, in affiliation with the
organization called «LAZOS DE AMOR» and our most recent efforts to helpThe Peruvian region of Abancay with “LET LOVE INTL”.
