The trip was amazing and I truly felt like my purpose to spread God’s word was fulfilled.Pastor White,
Thank you so much for the opportunity to go on the trip. I had an incredible time. It was so good to build Christ-centered relationships with my Dominican and American friends. As I mentioned in my application, I really prayed for the opportunity to be bold in sharing the gospel on the trip. On the first day down there, one of my Dominican friends, Orkedia, who is 17 now, poured her heart out to me. She is facing lots of temptation and pain and doesn’t know where to turn. She is reading the bible and trying to find answers but doesn’t understand how God can be present in her life amidst these struggles. I had the opportunity to sit down for over an hour with her, share my testimony and explain how much she is loved by the Lord. I went back to her house every day and read the bible with her in English and in Spanish. She came to Wednesday night church and was praising the Lord with her eyes closed and hands in the air. I can only pray and hope that Orkedia continues to walk with the Lord now and for the rest of her life. The trip was amazing and I truly felt like my purpose to spread God’s word was fulfilled. Thank you again for the opportunity to go in His service. It really was a special trip.
By the way, Lalo sent a special hello to you and your family. He says he misses you lots and hopes to see you soon.
Thank you and everyone on the Missions Committee again for supporting me.
Sincerely, Kathryn
