Serving the least of these, since 1972

Bringing smiles, joy, and the gospel to many thankful patients in the previously impassable
mountainous regions of Mexico.

Early in our ministry, we discovered that the neediest among us are unable to reach our clinics. Instead, they are isolated in faraway regions, many miles from vehicles, roads, and help. Our solution? Go to them! In 1972, Ken Small and Bill Williams operated RLM’s first mobile dental clinic, bringing smiles, joy, and the gospel to many thankful patients. In 2014, RLM launched the “Smile Mobile,” a custom-built mobile clinic equipped to traverse the previously impassable mountainous regions of Mexico.
