The JOyS of Summer......

As you all know, our summers here in the Dominican are packed with groups who are serving on mission trips. It's a part of our jobs that blesses us over and over and over again. God has allowed us to serve them and to play a small part in this life changing experience for people. We have the privilege of seeing people redeemed, communities renewed, and creation restored on a daily basis. It just doesn't get much better than that! We want to share some pics from these last few months. Most of these photos were captured by our staff photographer, Amanda Braisted. Enjoy them! Our hope and prayer is that they will inspire you to
"go and make disciples of all nations".

River Valley had a field day in Hato Del Yaque. All of the kids had a blast playing baseball, volleyball, soccer and basketball. They especially loved the jump ropes, ballons and little games the team brought for them.

Dorothy Sayers did a basketball clinic in Los Salados. At the end of the day, the girls said this was the most fun they have ever had playing basketball.

Eastview Youth worked in The Hole moving rocks to help secure the foundation of the church. They are always a blessing to all they come in contact with!

Stretching before the big June basketball camp begins. The kids in the community so look forward to this clinic every year. They learn about basketball, but most importantly about Jesus.

River Valley before starting on their construction project. They worked on Eduard's house (the Caribbean president) and Luis and Rene's house. Oh how we love each and everyone of them!

Sidewinders baseball group working on a construction project. These 15 year old boys were incredible and the leadership even better. It was such a blessing to be a part of their week!

Be Blessed,
