Dominican Republic (update 3)

Good morning! Thank you for your prayers for us. Yesterday (Saturday) we completed our second day of construction work. The athletic facility now has walls six blocks high almost all the way around and the base coat of paint for the basketball court was completed at about 8:00 last night. We also had a group who spent time with a group of students practicing English in the morning. The construction/painting is tiring work, but we know it will broaden the impact of this ministry on the surrounding community, and we are excited to be a small part of that.

Today (Sunday) we are going to church in the community and we will be singing two songs in their service. They have graciously provided a translator so we will be able to understand the message. This afternoon, we will be inviting some of the children from the community here to play games, do crafts, and learn Bible stories. Please pray for opportunities we have to share the gospel with these children.

Thank you for your prayers!

Love,
Dominican Republic Team
