All in all this has been an amazing eye opening trip that has grown me in my faith.

The purpose of this was for us to learn how to share our testimony as a way of sharing the gospel.

Upon arrival through the mountainous terrain of Banao we grabbed our stuff and started to make our way towards the water.

After that I went on a water break and played catch with some Dominican kids.

It was a lot of hard work in the hot sun, but we all found ways to be joyful.

Some of the group was playing with the local children, and it was really nice seeing everyone having fun and working hard.

When we got to the work-site, we split off into a few teams: painting rusting doors, sifting rocky sand, and carrying buckets

We even got to hear the hymn “Because He Lives” which some of us sang in English, while the Lighthouse team sang in Spanish, and the church sang in Creole (French)!

we went up to the roof for our morning devos, and learned how to spend time in prayer with God.

the morning was smooth like peanut butter.

She asked to hold hands and pray before we left. It’s so encouraging to see God speaking to people’s hearts to bring them closer to Him.

At one point Wade jumped from a spider to which she called him a big chicken.

“Wow thank you so much, I have never had anyone pray for me before”.

Wade was in his rock climber era, strapped to a harness and rope hanging over the edge of a cliff clearing broom.

We started off the morning with some breakfast and coffee (made cowboy style),

We got called to the front, and from there received prayer from many people.

Every single service to God starts with prayer and they also end each thing with prayer

After dinner we made sure to spend some time in devos together.

We prayed for a few hours after youth was done and this was all led by our students who were all in tears and praying for one another.

For dinner we went back to Feeding Windsor for their community supper and some of us helped served the meal while the rest of us sat with people and had dinner and good conversations with them.
