Aug 5th & 6th - DR Team Update

Yesterday we spent our time in several villages playing with the children, sharing with them about what Jesus' love means to us, and walking ALOT! A small group spent some time painting one of the local churches that Pastor Craig works with (you can see more about his ministry at www.facebook.com/craigmac25) Another group made their way to another village in the afternoon and started a game of baseball with the kids. We didn't have a ball with us so the kids went and picked some fruit off the tree and that became our ball for the game. Then 3 of the FL team members made their way down the village streets to stop and talk with the families in the area. We were able to pass out tracks and pray with the families.

Today we spent the morning in the Capital being "tourists." For lunch we went to a local restaurant and experienced some of the cultural food here in the DR, it was so delicious! Then we went to Pasitos de Jesus, which is a girls home that Score International oversees. Our team played volleyball, played on the playground, sang songs and Tina had the opportunity to present a Worship Painting. The kids even helped with the painting and it was beautiful! Before we left, the kids sang to us and shared some of their stories. Tomorrow is our last "ministry" day with the NY team. Please keep praying for our team as we finish out the week strong and make our way back to FL late on Saturday.
