Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everyhing I have commanded you.

We Arrived


(sorry for not posting last night. We have had to upload our post from a local internet cafe that has a slow connection (USA standards) I will try to place up as many pictures as we can but we may not have the internet connection to do to many photos.




Today’s trip went extremely well. We had a van ride to Chicago that began at 1:00am, and then our flights from Chicago to Miami and Miami to the Dominican got us there by 3:00pm. (The most excitement of the travel was when Mike got pulled to the side at a check point because his replacement knee set off all the alarms…the team was very entertained!)



When we arrived in the D.R. we were greeted by local musicians and an excited missions team from Kids Alive International. They took us to our home for the week (which is great!) where we got settled in. We then went out to a local restaurant and had some authentic Dominican food. We finished our day with a brief orientation and some time in the Word together.



The gang was tired after being up for nearly 40 straight hours (with a few airplane naps)…but it was a “good tired”. We all went to bed excited to get up and serve starting fresh on day 2!
