Sunday Night

What an amazing time getting to worship with our brothers and sisters at Luz Divina! Craig, Dave, Zoraya, Nathan, Judy and Magalie visited, learned from, and worked with the musicians and children of Luz Divina earlier in the day while the rest of the team visited the construction site where we'll be working tomorrow. That evening at 6pm, we all reconvened at the church for the Sunday service. The current church facility is little more than a plain tin roof attached to the the back of a building, with a cement floor and some drapes hung on the thin walls, but it's a place filled with a lot of joy, fervent prayer, and family love.

Bienvenidos a todos

We are here in La Romana, Dominican Republic! After connecting with our local missionary, Scott, we piled into a bus and drove along the coast to La Romana where we checked in to our hotel.
