Highlights from Mission to Dominican Republic November 6 - 13, 2007 Bonao, Dominican Republic
We had a team of twenty people from five different states come together for this mission to Bonao, D.R. Our mission was to hold a three night crusade, a women's conference, a minister's conference, and to reach as many people as we could with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This was the best missions/ministry trip I have ever taken. We had a tremendous team that God assembled and each one of us had a ministry to give to the people. I am always amazed when we don't plan out every detail but just let God do what He wants and it always works out like a perfectly well-designed plan executed exactly as intended. Unless the Lord builds the house we labor in vain. We had some opposition from the devil because every night it rained on our crusade. That is okay because we still fulfilled what God commissioned us to do in spite of the enemy's plans. Glory to God! It would be impossible to explain the impact we had and what we felt God did but suffice it to say Jesus got the glory. Many were saved, healed, and changed by what God did and we were just honored to be a part of it. Below are some pictures and if you follow the link at the very bottom you can see all the pictures. If you are interested in going on a trip like this or getting a group from your church to go, please contact me and I can get you started in the right direction.
