Tonight we had our final team meeting before departing to the Dominican Republic (DR). The next time we meet will be at 3:45 in the morning to head to the airport!
We leave on Thursday, July 2, on a mission trip to the DR. We will return July 14th.
While we’re gone, we’ll be doing lots of different things. Here are a few examples:
* Planting a church on the border of the DR and Haiti
* Helping with the Alabaster Heart Conference — a conference dedicated to greater intimacy with Jesus
* Kids ministry, dance ministry, drama ministry, worship ministry
* General work and repairs
* Evangelizing
* Talking to and helping the people around us
* Growing in greater intimacy with God
* Having fun
There are approximately 18 college-aged students and a few leaders going on the trip. We are a diverse group of people. It will be exciting and interesting to see how everyone contributes their gifts and how God uses them.
While we’re off in the DR, we’ll try to update this blog as often as possible. We hope to post pictures and share stories and testimonies. However, mission trips are often unpredictable, so we do not know how much we’ll be able to update. At least there is always the option of a post-trip blog post!
Thank you for reading and please check back for updates.
Feel free to pray for us too!
Blessings,
The DR Team
