Wow!  What a week!  We had 25 team members arrive in Cabarete, Dominican Republic on January 17th to serve local Haitian and Dominican communities for the week.  Many have served with Disciples Village before, and for a few, this was their first mission trip. But they all agreed, it wouldn’t be their last!!

Our construction team served in Oma Bajita, where Pastor Lucianne leads the Villa Redencion Church.  Our entire team enjoyed worshipping with his congregation on Sunday and the construction team served in the community Monday – Thursday, replacing the roof on a house that is home to three different families.  Several of the local men joined in to help with the project, allowing the team to share both construction skills and the love of Jesus.

The evangelism team served in Oma Bajita, as well, on Monday, Calleion de la Loma on Tuesday, Lacienaga on Wednesday, and shared the Good News with vendors up and down the beach on Thursday.  We saw the fruits of our labor with ten professions of faith and many seeds were planted along the way that we pray will take root.  We also had many opportunities to pray with Believers and encourage them in their walk with the Lord.
