SEMANA SANTA | HOLY WEEK: Holy Week in the Dominican Republic is a week-long observance. For our mission churches, it's a week of remembering the sacrifice of our Lord and Savior, and celebrating his resurrection. ¡Cristo ha resucitado! ¡El ha resucitado en verdad, Aleluya! Christ has risen! He is risen indeed, Hallelujah! Download a short video of our Palm Sunday procession in Santo Domingo here
Now may the God of peace...equip you with everything good That You May Do His WillThank you so much for all of your prayers for my travel! I made it to the Dominican Republic safely, and have started my language classes and final orientation. Meeting the Regional Team and the Seminary Students from around Latin America has been an amazing opportunity. Elvis, the seminary student from Peru, is here with his family as well. It's a great chance to get to know them before I get to Lima.

Together. Worshiping together. Not neglecting to meet together...but encouraging one another...(Hebrews 10:25) Much of my time here in the Dominican Republic is dedicated to spending time in worship and in fellowship with members of both the missionary team and the mission church congregations. I'm awed and so thankful for the opportunity to meet the people God has called to serve here and the people we are here to serve alongside. But my time here is drawing to a close. I am set to depart for Lima April 30th!

The Chance to Share God's Love Wherever We Are: While I was preparing to travel to the Dominican Republic, I was blessed to have many opportunities to share what God has called me to be a part of. I was surprised how often simply mentioning that I was serving abroad opened up a much bigger conversation. It's an awesome reminder that God works through each of us where we are; I don't become a missionary when I get to Perú. I'm a missionary, you are a missionary, today and everyday we have the opportunity to share God's love with the people around us. We are so blessed!
