Debra Mae Goehringer: Volunteer Dental Hygienist  Debra Mae Goehringer jumped into the dental field right after college and worked six days a week as a dental hygienist. She quickly found herself questioning her decision to be a dental hygienist. But a trip to Tanzania and the words of her father as she was growing up, “if you are going to travel, take a skill with you,” started to ignite dreams for something outside of the American dental office.  Debra Mae decided to volunteer for three weeks with Mercy Ships. Inspired by the need she saw while volunteering and the work being done, that short time quickly grew. Now, seven years later, she continues to volunteer and has wonderful insight to share.  In this episode, Debra Mae shares how growing up with 10 siblings prepared her for ship-life! She also tells of the joy she found while setting people free from pain.   For more information about Mercy Ships, visit www.mercyships.orgFollow us on Instagram at New Mercies Podcast
