Sunday is always a bit different on trips here in the Dominican Republic...most of our other days are filled with work, with play, and a busy schedule...today is our different day in our time here in this community...we walked to church this morning...the church was planted many years ago by a missionary from South Korea and we enjoyed the worship service as a team...there is often a freshness and a vibrant spirit to the church celebrations around the world...and you can't help but be caught up in the authentic and passionate worship of God in His people here in the Dominican Republic...
One of the blessings of being here is the food we are eating that is cooked by some outstanding Dominican ladies...the food is authentic and we have all the energy we need to do what we are called to do in our time here...
In the heat of a Sunday afternoon we still found the energy to play a softball game with some guys from the area and played a little futbal with our new friends from Haiti...Ian Grotenhuis talked with the guys about how his teammates have often served as key people in helping him to become more the person that Christ is calling him to be, and encouraged the Haitian guys to care for one another...
Tonight we are headed to get a little ice cream together...it has been a great day to enjoy each other's company, worship together, play together, and talk about anything and everything...we are blessed to be here and blessed to be a community of Christian soccer players and coaches...tomorrow we are back on the work site and will be traveling to a community that loves soccer here in the DR...it is a joy to be able to share the Gospel in word and deed together...
We pray for a great week ahead for you all!
