The Dominican Republic. The D.R. La Republica Dominicana.
There are multiple names for the place in which St. John is living and working this week. There are multiple "missions" we, as a group, are accomplishing this week. Whether it be working to build a new church, meeting young children, or visiting with natives like Bienvo and his family, we are called to one mission....To spread the glory of God.
The primary job this week is to assist with the construction of a new church which will minister to hundreds of Dominicans. While the facade is still one of thick wire and used plywood, the will-be church is beautiful. With it brings the promise of many new believers and a permanent place where they can worship.
As we continue our work, please continue to pray for our team and those with whom we are working. A special thanks to the main construction crew for their support, direction, and hard work. Without the steadfast labor they provide, there would be no church.
For those who have served with Will and Audrey on past trips, you are sorely missed. And for those who have not yet traveled to the Dominican Republic I can assure you the cold showers, lack of air conditioning, and the peril that comes with working with Michael Belt are all worth enduring.
Pace,
Parker Lawson
