| 2009 Dominican Republic Mission Trip |
In 2009, I along with four men from my church traveled to the Dominican Republic. While there we helped to construct and paint an addition to the Neuva Luz (New Light) Church of the Nazarene. This church is a partner with Concern International and they provide food, education, and spiritual training for local children. The assistance that we provided helped them more than double their capacity. It was an incredible experience and I pray that the children that they help will be fed physically and spiritually, yielding a great harvest.
I also had a second chance to serve in missions. During the summer of 2010 a group of seven adults and six youth from our church made the long drive to Arizona where we served on the Navajo and Hopi Reservations. We did a project with Encounter Missions International an organization that assists the Navajo and Hopi peoples. We completed several projects on and around the facility that serves at the mission base and the attached church and we spent one day in a Hopi village working on a woman's home. On the way home we took a detour to the Grand Canyon and enjoyed the wonderful scenery that God created. It to was a wonderful trip and I know that the youth that went along grew tremendously.
Paul is quoted in the Bible saying, "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do no give up" (Galatians 6:9). I have thoroughly enjoyed my trips and it is my hope and prayer that God will open more doors for me to participate in missions and ultimately in "bringing in a spiritual harvest."
