The Dominican Republic0
Posted In featured,Life,Ministry Lessons
This morning (Tuesday, July 13th) I woke up at 3:30AM and headed to the airport to start my journey to the Dominican Republic. I am leading a team from Cross Point to work on a church and feeding center that was started there 3 years ago. The finishing touches will hopefully happen this week. I think it’s pretty cool that us finishing the buildings doesn’t begin a ministry. The ministry has been going on for years already and I can’t wait to hear the wisdom of the men and women who have dedicated their life to reaching the lost in the D.R.
Someone asked me Sunday night how they could specifically pray for me. I responded with, “Pray that my life is ruined. Pray that all my preconceived notions about this world are destroyed and that I will never be the same again.” I pray that for every person on this trip. Every person came on this trip for different reasons.
On this trip we have a father and his two grown sons who recently lost their mother going together to serve Christ. I can’t begin to imagine how much healing this trip could bring for them.
Also traveling with us are youth who are about to embark on the next chapter of their life. This trip could be the springboard to Godly decisions during that season.
Some stories are too fresh and I hope one day we can celebrate the outcome that this trip might help bring, but the bottom line is that the people in the Dominican Republic aren’t the only ones who need healing. We all do.
Pray for us this week. Pray for the people of the Dominican Republic and the people on our team. There’s more at stake this week than meets the eye.
Talk to you guys July 20th!!
