The ARBC Mission Team will serving in Barahona, Dominican Republic again this year, July 17 - 25. Some will be traveling on the 16th to prepare for the group to arrive on the 17th. We will be on several different flights departing and returning and from Santo Domingo. Please pray for our flight connections and travel safety.
We still need some items to take with us for the medical clinic by July 5th: Gauze; disposable table pads; large bottles of multivitamins (such as those that Sam's sells) for children, adults & seniors; masks, tongue depressors; sample size toothpaste; Pepto Bismol and diarrhea medications individually wrapped; skin cleansers such as Phisohex; medications for skin infections such as Neosporin, Bacitracin and Polymyxin B; and if you have a source for sample medications from a doctor, please contact Sandi at swhisenant@hotmail.com for more information.
Our ministries for the week include: A medical clinic, church services in 2 locations, baseball clinic, basketball clinic, volleyball clinic, caricatures, repairing & painting projects, breakfast & Bible study with the firemen, lunch with businessmen, ladies Bible studies, kid's Bible studies, youth rally & games, and learning to fish the Dominican way and sharing Christ with the fishermen.
Our purpose for the week is to help the people we meet understand who Jesus is and that He loves and cares for them. Pray that God will help us communicate clearly and love selflessly.
We will try to have someone update this blog as often as we can while on the trip. Your posts of encouragement will be appreciated! Thank you for your prayers!
