Day 3

Monday, day 3 in the Dominican Republic. We woke up earlier than yesterday to a time of prayer with the team. We read the first chapter of Ephesians. After, we ate breakfast and we found ourselves off to another exciting day. I wasn't too sure what to expect but knew it was our first day of VBS. What's exciting about being in the missions field is that you never know exactly what to expect. We went on a 45 minute drive to the farm which is coming together on construction. Next, we went to a nearby community. It was our first time to pray and outreach to strangers of the rundown neighbourhood. I knew this wasn't my first time as a youth praying and laying a hand to others so it felt natural. One lady had arthritis. Another, her husband was losing faith in God and was not around.  The moment that stood out the most was when an old lady was shaking and I got to lay hands on her and pray for comfort. It was heartbreaking seeing these homes like this. Now it's time for VBS... - Josiah Chang, 17
