Dominican and Haiti Updates

It's been a God ordained summer, and the best part is....it's only mid-July. We know that there are many amazing things to come and we look forward to being a part of it all!
I (Audrey) just wanted to post a few pics of some of the summer happenings so far. When Will gets a spare moment, he is planning on doing a Blog post specifically about our annual G.O. basketball camp that took place 2 weeks ago. It was one of the coolest God filled weeks that we have experienced since we moved to the Dominican Republic almost 5 years ago.

The Youth Leader of our church, Isaias Gabriel, did a conference in Salcedo for 250 kids. It is called Urban Christ. Will and I went for the day to support Isaias and to listen to some great worship. This camp truly is rocking the island and our prayer is that these youth will experience God in a radical way!




This is Carmen, she cooks in the kitchen for G.O Ministries and has an incredible servant's heart. She cooked for 250 kids at this youth camp.


Kerlyn played the drums in the band at Cristo Urbano. He is so talented and a precious friend to Will and me. No, Will didn't play the guitar, it's just a prop!


Jose Luis and Will work directly together in sports outreach. He is head of our baseball ministry. Jose Luis was at youth camp doing devotions with the kids.


Many people were there supporting Isaias and his ministry. This is Lisa, a fellow missionary, with her sweet baby boy Ruben.


I had the privilege to host a babyshower for a fellow missionary and dear friend, Sunshine Leach. She is 7 months pregnant and will be leaving in a few short weeks to return to the states to prepare for the birth of her sweet baby boy. Some are missing from this group pic. We missed you guys!


We have helped host 15 teams so far this summer. We count it a true joy to get the opportunity to be a part of this life changing experience for people. This particular group is Crosspoint Community Church and they are from Nashville, TN.


This is Kentwood Christian Church and they are from Michigan.


Okay, so I had to post this picture and let the whole world know that there is a CHILI'S in the Dominican Republic. It's brand new! This is my favorite restaraunt in the states, it's usually the first stop we make when we return for the holidays. Needless to say, Will and I were pretty excited when we heard that it was here. : )

Again, this is just a small post in efforts to keep you guys updated on some of the happenings of the summer. We love all of you and are grateful for you! We continue to feel beyond blessed that God has called us to be here. We strive to love Him more everyday. As we love Him more, the passion in our hearts grows deeper to serve His people and through doing that, we hope that the lost become found.

We've added a few pages on the side-bar, check them out if you have the chance! Stay tuned for our next post about our annual G.O. basketball camp.
