Today was our last day on the work site. The morning was spent laying brick in the scorching Dominican sun. The afternoon was spent mixing and pouring cement in a down pour. The weather here changes quickly and most of the time without warning. We worked hard and accomplished a lot. The staff from Youth for Christ/CareForce International compared us to the hardest working teams that have come each year.
Half of the team went back into the community to minister to the children again in the afternoon. Despite the rain, nearly 60 kids came out to play and hear an inspiring message. Megan McDonald shared her testimony and presented the Gospel to the children. Afterward, the team reunited and worked into the early evening to complete our final tasks.
We returned tired, but somehow energized by the work we had completed. After sharing a meal, we had group devotion time and enjoyed some time just laughing and reflecting. Tomorrow is an off day for us before heading home. We'll visit the market, see Christopher Columbus' house, and go to the beach.
Please pray that God would sustain the lessons we have learned once we get home. Pray that as we prepare to return home, everyone would see clearly what God intends to teach them in this trip.
Steve
