Report from Dominican Republic: Carpentry and Construction

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

All is going well here in the DR. We are getting a lot of work done. The first two days were spent rebuilding and repairing the kitchen cabinets in the Cafe del Rey, where Beka works. Unfortunately we are still waiting for the countertop. Lord willing, it will arrive tomorrow. A crew of kids, the Cowans, and I built a cover for the baptismal. Tomorrow we plan on repairing a concrete pad here at the compound. We'll see what we can get done after that.

Report from Dominican Republic: Day 5

Day 5 in the Dominican Republic:

On Wednesday, the construction crew (Paul and Matt from Crossroads and Tom, Dave and Keven from Riverwood) painted a set of trusses on Ney's porch. They got half of the tin sheeting up. It looks great and they should be able to finish tomorrow.

The medical, dental, VBS, sports, prayer walk, and hair ministries were all out at Mangos Limpias, a village up in the hills. This was the first visit by a team to this village. During the prayer walk, we shared the Gospel with the families and prayed for their family.

When we arrived at the village, the children were still in school. We rounded up some children who did not attend school and gave them coloring books to color. After playing games with the children, the Gospel was shared with them. The children are beautiful!

The Harvest is Ripe!
