When we showed up to deliver the bunk bed Dan and Dilo built, the family welcomed us with open arms and so much excitement. We carefully unloaded the pieces and got to work assembling it in their home, and you could just feel how much this bed meant to them. It wasn’t just a bed—it was a place where their kids could feel safe and cozy every night. Two of their children were still at school when we arrived, but I could already picture the smiles on their faces when they’d come home and see this surprise waiting for them.
Dan and Dilo had poured so much care into making this bed, and it was more than just wood and screws—it was a symbol of comfort and hope. Seeing the joy in this family’s eyes reminded me of the impact a simple gift can have. It’s amazing how something as basic as a bed can bring so much peace and security. For this family, it’s a reminder that they’re seen, loved, and supported by their community. Moments like this make all the work worth it.
Our team taught a group of high schoolers the Inductive Bible Study Method, helping them to dig deeper into Scripture through three simple steps: Observation, Interpretation, and Application.
We also shared the gospel with the children at Kings Kids Preschool through songs and a puppet show. Seeing the kids’ joy as they heard about God’s love was a heartwarming reminder of how the gospel reaches all ages.
Both experiences affirmed how God’s Word is powerful, timeless, and accessible to every heart.
Visit to Kings Kids
We were overjoyed to spend time at the Kings Kids tutoring center. We met the children who arrived there after school. We spent our time playing with balloons indoors as it was raining outside. Ballon play breaks through every language barrier, and children and adults alike had a blast. The children were mesmerized by the Good Samaritan story told through puppets. A big thanks to our friends from Panama who provided the script for the puppet show.
We were also able to do a Bible story, share the gospel, sing songs, do crafts, and send them off with 2 bags filled with goodies, toiletries, and food. We are grateful to all our supporters who have generously provided for the needs of these children and their families. The children returned home with their hearts and hands filled with joy and the gospel message.
First of all, Saludos de la Republica Dominicana!
We had safe travels, and all our 16 bags filled with supplies made it safely to the DR. We praise God for smooth and timely travels. We were able to get it all unpacked and organized for each grade level starting from preschool 3-year-olds to 12th grade! We are ready for the VBS and the book fair for the 3-5-year-olds as well as 1st and 2nd grades today.
Yesterday we attended a service and were so blessed by our Dominican brothers and sisters. We praise God for the amazing opportunity to serve Him for His glory. We are so very thankful to God for our supporters who have donated and contributed to this trip in so many ways.
Thank you for your prayers.
In Him,
DR Team
The End ... and The Beginning
Day 7 was a day of travel and reflection. A day that signaled the end of our mission trip, and simultaneously tipped our overflowing hearts into a waterfall of reflection. It was the beginning of new memories, new sisters in Christ, and new glimpses of the beautiful life of unity and community that God desires for us. It was the end of a week of faith-building travel as a group, and it was another new beginning of our own God-ordained journeys.
Whether it was what we left or what we took with us; whether it was the laughter or the tears; whether it was new illumination of Scripture or the healing of old scars; whether it was a holy moment or a Godly ache ... YHWH takes every part, threading it into our own faith journey, and weaving all of our stories together to create a glorious tapestry of His Redeemed.
Soy Mujer
Panama, Panama, beautiful, Panama,
The testimony of Truth was the voice of all. For women from nation, tribe, and tongue, Worshipped together, worshipped as one.
Soy Mujer was the language we spoke,
"I am a woman", with God we yoke.
A sisterhood with laughter, joy, and Jesus, With tears and struggles, but we know He sees us.
He sees the raw and broken and reaches in, taking our sin, leaving us not where we've been.
He heals and restores every heart at his feet,
The war has been won; the victory complete.
So at the foot of the cross each blessed day,
We look up and remember our Hope & Stay. Every magnificent nation, tribe, and tongue, We all are family, yes, in Him, we are one.
