HART'S HERO
July 2024
Dr. Ann Kilroy
Introducing HART’s Hero for the month of July, Dr. Ann Kilroy, a faithful volunteer and HART’s main dentist over the past eight years!
Dr. Ann's journey with HART began in 2016 when she first met Dr. Tom Graves. Since then, she has generously shared her time, expertise, and love of Jesus with both the trip team members and the people she serves.
Answering the call to serve in Haiti just weeks before the 2016 trip, Dr. Ann stepped into the unknown with faith and trust in God. She recalls, “family and friends were throwing fear at me, telling me I should not go, but I felt convicted to go. I felt the calling from God.”
Dr. Ann finds inspiration in witnessing God's work through all the volunteers. “Watching everyone work together, using their unique gifts, is unreal. It’s like experiencing the kingdom of God,” she says.
“I love the people of HART. The way they lift each other up and the joy we share creates a heart connection,” Dr. Ann explains. The memory of this beautiful, God-like community and His presence, while on the trips, has helped her overcome many of life's challenges upon returning home.
Dr. Ann emphasizes that “the mission is not the mission, although it is about serving the poor, the mission is about growing in your own faith and sharing it with others. It is trusting that the Lord has your back and wants the best for you. I now have immense support from my husband, children, extended family, and friends to be a missionary!”
“My trust in God has deepened because of my work with HART. My life has been turned upside down and inside out, but I feel freer than I have in years. Each year I serve on a mission, I feel more and more free!”
Dr. Ann is a wonderful illustration of the impact volunteering can have on one’s life and the lives of others. Her dedication to serving others reminds us of the profound influence one person can have on the lives of many.
Thank you, Dr. Ann, for being a part of HART. We are incredibly blessed to have you on our team! We love you!
