Report from Domincan Republic: Making a Difference

Report from a Crossroads mission team member currently in the Dominican Republic:

Hi everyone. It is Wednesday afternoon now. It was so nice to get off the plane after 4 hours and I was hot with a t-shirt. On Sunday morning we went to church. At these services you sing and dance. On the way back, we didn't cross over a river on a bridge, but through the river on a cattle truck. Monday, Rachel and I went to Village 50 to lay block. You can see how bad their houses are where we haven't built the new houses yet. It is amazing how much hope that has given to these families. The people here are very genuine wonderful people. It tears your heart, but you can't help them all. One village a t a time, between White Fields Foundation and MGM, we are making a difference. These little kids sure like hugs. They don't want to let go. Tuesday we went to the Compassion International school. It was very impressive. Today I worked with Dan Jaussen on the baptismal cover. Rachel has learned a lot here as well. I thank God that He gave us this opportunity to serve.
