2001 DR Missions Trip:
Photos (3)


Our trip to the Dominican Republic was a stretching, eye-opening, giving, receiving worthwhile experience. Although we went ready to minister to the Dominicans, we returned with our lives enriched because of what they taught us about sacrificial unconditional love. We in America have so much materially but they are so rich spiritually. I do believe the "things" we have often keep us from seeing all God desires to teach us and do through us. Take a walk with us through these pictures and we will try to give you a glimpse of what we experienced.
