The Dominican Republic Mission Team has been SO BLESSED by their churches, families, friends and others who have encouraged them with prayer and financial support as they have prepared to go to Barahona, Dominican Republic. Now we would like to you to pray for us AS WE GO...
  • Pray for the safety of the team
  • Pray for open hearts as we work, play, worship, sing, study, pray, fellowship and share Jesus’ love with the people.
  • Pray for our families at home
  • Pray for our health as we work, walk, play, and even sit in the heat and humidity and for the four team members who will be extending their stay for 8 additional days.
  • Pray for the dependability of the vans we will be driving to and from Barahona and our drivers: Ken, Rhonda, Mike W, and Eric, as they navigate around the dogs, cows and motorcycles!
  • Praise God for the hospitality of the people as they invite us into their homes to rest in the shade and pray for them; for the teachers who invite us into their classrooms to have conversations with their students; for the stores where we buy water and ice to keep us hydrated; for the gas station that supplies our gas; for the hardware stores where we buy supplies; for the hotel that provides us a nice, air conditioned room and wonderful meals that refresh for the next day; for our translators who help us communicate; and for the many other businesses and people we will interact with during our time in Barahona.
