Sometimes I wonder if people hear The Dominican Republic and think that's not that great of a need. I have heard, "this place needs it more, or this place needs it more". That always hurts my heart to hear, because the needs are needs, hurting people who don't' know their savior.
On my recent trip to the DR I was overwhelmed and found myself speechless (a rare moment). After some time to process, I realized I had forgotten the overwhelming needs in the DR and Haiti. Yet at the same time it makes me smile to know God directs our path and He has the plan. I feel privileged and I have a confirmed purpose of serving the Lord and the people of this island. Now mater how big or how small.
I am exited to be apart of the restoration process in a land rot with poverty, teenage pregnancy, crime, slavery, drugs, prostitution... Jesus offers love, hope and restoration.
Okay enough of my soap box. Here is a quick clip of a documentary of a tid-bit of what is goes on, on this island.
