Greetings from the Dominican Republic! Our team this week is serving in Santo
Domingo – the oldest continuously inhabited European settlement in the Western
Hemisphere. Today we had the opportunity
to experience a taste of all this beautiful country has to offer – a rich
history, beautiful, joyful people and an exuberant body of Christ!
We started our morning at Sunday school at Iglesia
Fundamento Biblico serving the youth. Our
team shared special music with some of the classes while others were able to
help feed all the children that attend the church. Iglesia Fundamento Biblico is located in a
very poor district of Santo Domingo and takes every opportunity to minister to
the physical and spiritual needs of its neighbors. After an amazing worship service the team ate
lunch along the Malecon (the coastal area of Santo Domingo) with Pastor
Castillo and his family. Then it was off
to the Colonial District! We toured a
fort, walked the streets where Christopher Columbus walked, and toured a
cathedral dedicated to many of the individuals that shaped this beautiful
country.
We are excited to see all the Lord has planned for this week
as we continue to serve some of the poorest areas of Santo Domingo with Iglesia
Fundamento Biblico!
