Domincan Republic day 1 and 2
Thank you all for being patient with the blog. We have been having technical difficulties.
January 15, Day 1:
The team was dedicated during the first service then were off to the airport. Thanks to Christine & Mike for getting us there. After an event free day, the team arrived in Santiago. We were happy to be in the tropical weather and away from the cold in MD! After checking into the hotel, we had a brief planning meeting. The team’s mission is to create & construct sets for children’s ministry in four churches - two in Santiago and two in Santo Domingo - a mission that’s been in the works for many weeks. Many thanks to our imagineer and creative genius, Brian Tetter. His detailed plans gave the team their wings so we can fly through the building process!
January 16, Day 2:
After a great breakfast in the hotel restaraunt, we headed out for a morning of “shopping”. It took a few hours to purchase the lumber and other supplies that will be needed to create the sets. At the job site, we stopped for our morning devotions then it was game on with nothing but the sound of power tools and hammering throughout the afternoon. While the guys focused on frame construction, the ladies began the set decor. It was great reconnecting with old friends and neighbors in the surrounding community but especially the neighborhood children. At the end of the first day, everyone was amazed at the amount of work that was accomplished but better yet was the great teamwork. Once again, God has brought together the people needed for this unique mission.

Glad you are enjoying the tropical weather, we have been having snow showers of late. I am sure that the four churches know how blessed they are to have you all down there working so hard. Keep up the great work!
