Day 5: Sabbath Rest

By Mr. Burns

Not a lot to report today in the way of action. We visited International Baptist Church in Santo Domingo. This church has an amazing story of growing from a strictly international community of believers to embracing the Dominican people around them. They've seen growth of influence as they've passionately and faithfully served. The students worshipped in Spanish and listened as their pastor prayed and preached the Scriptures.

Following church, many students ran to the beach, went horseback riding or hung out around the pool. There also may have been the small matter of a basketball game to watch.

Dr. Bob Lamonte blessed the group with devotions tonight, sharing his testimony and Scriptures from a parent's perspective. It was an excellent cap to a day spent resting from the labor of the trip.

Tomorrow is a big day. It's our last journey out into the villages among the hurting. Students are excited to provide food and the gospel to those in the DR that so desperately need both. Please pray for the kids to represent the Savior and to love those that he died to save.

As today was a very light day, very few pictures were taken. Look for a group shot of the entire pack tomorrow.
