Update from "Team Pedos de Conejos"

We have had an exciting time so far on our trip. Most of my group (Bianca, Pat, Kirstie, and I) had a smooth flight down on Friday and arrived by the afternoon. It worked out perfectly because we were able to go to the end of the week party for the first week teams and meet many of the people they had led to the Lord or invested time into during their trip. It was encouraging for me to see that there was already way more Dominicans worshipping the Lord and hanging out with our group than at the end of last year's trip. God has been doing wonderful things during the year.

Our team was finally all together when Audrey arrived with the second wave of flights on Saturday night. Sunday we went to the camp of Sabino’s church just outside of San Pedro. We had a nice bus ride along the ocean and then into the Domincan countryside. The camp was gorgeous and we had a beautiful afternoon worshipping with Sabino’s church, listening to a message from Sabino, and sharing a meal together. It was a great opportunity to encourage the saints in our sister church there, which supports the ministry on the University of Santo Domingo campus that we have focused our mission trips around.

Monday and Tuesday have been almost entirely spent on campus. I have been so proud of our team and the way they have worked hard and worked together. They have already passed out hundreds of gospel tracts and have been very bold in responding to the Holy Spirit’s prompts to initiate Gospel conversations. Our group specifically is praying that we can sow the Gospel into hundreds of lives and get to build lasting relationship with three people who can get plugged into La Vid on campus. Thanks for your prayers and support! We have had spotty Internet access, but hopefully we will post another entry in a couple of days.
