The second day in the Dominican Republic was filled with excitement and joy. Our group went to visit two villages where we handed out food and water filters. Everyone was extremely thankful for our generosity and our company. Our day at the villages consisted of playing with the children and performing the VBS program in the village churches.
It was quite humbling to see the poverty and the amount of need present in both places. Despite the lack of resources, we could see the evidence of God’s glory and the joy He continually supplies them with. Though there was the obvious language barrier, our group had no trouble with bonding and communicating with all of the children. God’s work through the churches, in each of the villages, was also evident as He used this experience to teach our group humility and peace about His will for each of our lives.
