Travel Day Recap


When we create the schedule, we don’t use the term “Travel Day” lightly. We really did travel all day! The Check-in process at school went smoothly, and we really appreciate all of those who came to see us off, especially Doc Bracy. The bus ride, Airport ticketing, flights, layovers, changing planes, and luggage claim were all without incident. Thanks for your prayers. We arrived at the airport here around 9:00 pm and then loaded the vans for a three hour bus ride that somehow took us four hours due to some extremely heavy rain. We arrived here at the YWAM Base, settled into our dorms, and… well… some of us slept.

I really can’t stress how smoothly things went yesterday. Thanks be to God for His “Traveling Mercies”.

This week we are focusing on the concept of surrendering ourselves to God. Keep praying that God would not only work through us, but also work in us during our time here in the DR. Thank you all for sharing with us in this adventure through your love, prayers, and encouragement.

God’s peace,
