I want to thank everyone for your prayers and support of this trip. I could feel God’s hand keeping me going through your prayers. We had such a great trip – all my prayers were answered and more than answered - pressed down, shaken together, running over!
My granddaughter Skye was fearless. She went without any electronic devices- no cell, iPod, DS or TV! She jumped right into the construction, wielding drills, hammers and paintbrushes with grace. And into the facepainting, her medium of choice.She made friends with the kids on our team and in the villages. It was so much fun for me to watch.
Your prayers also helped build this chapel in the small village of Pica Pica, about an hour and a half away from where we were staying in Santo Domingo. We got to spend the entire day there, building and playing and eating with the families. It was very satisfying.
The team that came after us did their ministry in the chapel we built. About 15 or 17 kids raised their hands to pray the prayer of salvation so Pastor Carlos is starting a new Bible study for these kids.
When we got home Skye told her mother Mary (my daughter) that we could “totally live there! We don’t need air conditioning!”
Blessings,
Carol & Skye
