And we are off! 20 people from our church are on the way to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. We will be working with churches and schools in and around that city serving in a multitude of ways from construction to Vacation Bible Schools and sports camps to sewing projects and school teacher training.
It is an awesome group made up of folks ranging in age from 17 to . . . well, more experienced than me. It was pointed out this morning that the millennials made it through security fine – it was the seniors that were the trouble makers. It is going to be a fun and exciting journey. One of the things I really love about trips like this is the way God grows relationships between those on the trip through the week. I am excited to see how God is going to work through us AND among us over the coming seven days.
Once in country, I should have internet service in the mornings and so I plan on trying to journal some of our experiences here. So be sure to check back each day to f
ollow along. You can also follow us on Twitter (@jbrianhill) and on Instagram – watch for the hashtag #fbc2dominican to stay up to date.
One request I have is to ask for prayer for safe travels and for God to grow our group in compassion, flexibility and service.
Stay tuned!
