Well, I have had a few complaints in the past few years (mostly from my parents) about a lack of communication, so in order to hopefully be a good communicator, I decided I would do a little blog during my time in the Dominican Republic this summer.
Sarah, Ashley, Faith, and I will be taking off really early tomorrow morning to begin our journey down to Monte Plata. I am so excited to finally be able to take some people with me and let them experience this place that I have called home my last couple summers. Faith will be down there with us for a week since her work only allowed her that time to be with us, but Sarah and Ashley will be with me for two weeks. We've spent a lot of time preparing and planning and praying for this trip and I know everyone's pretty excited about going. After the girls leave I will stay there until August, which will be the longest time I will have spent there, but I am so excited to be staying for a while.
The girls and I will be doing a lot of fun activities while we're there like baking classes and vacation Bible school stuff and a waterfall trip and many other things and hopefully being a blessing to those down there and a witness of who God is.
Some things you can be praying for as we get ready to go and while we're there are:
-Safety (travelling and being there)
-Unity
-Good communication
-Open hearts (both our own and the people there)
-Health (that everyone remains healthy)
-that God would be the center of all we do
As I said, I will try to update this as much as possible, but I make no guarantees.
According to Romans missionary work is a priestly privilege
ReplyDeletepresenting the nations to God.Be proud of what God does
through your team and if you must boast,then boast in
The One who sent you.
We prayed for you with the Millers last night and will do so
with our group again tonight.Be confident you are being
lifted up in prayer to He who is pleased to supply all your needs.
Love to you.
