From Melanie Smith:

Dear church and supporters,

Today is our last full day in the Dominican Republic before we leave tomorrow. We spent the day at Catalina Island relaxing. Some of the team went cliff jumping into the ocean.

Although we relaxed today, there were some big things happening in the team last night after a church service with other groups serving at SCORE. Some people on the team decided to sponsor children, allowing the children to get meals, education, and clothing. We then went back to where we were staying and the group shared with each other about meaningful things we’ve experienced. Several of the youth expressed a desire to go into ministry when they’re older. There were many tears of joy during and after the sharing and praying that followed.

The team cannot thank you enough for the financial and prayer support you’ve given us!
