We got up today at about 7am and went to see the Makarios farm after breakfast. We toured the farm with Wisley, a Haitian man who lives there with his family. Wisley’s wife cooked lunch for us and we heard a little about his life. From there, we stopped back by the house and picked up our luggage on the way to Puerto Plata.
We arrived here in Puerto Plata around 4:30 and settled in for the week. We met the Makarios staff (several of which are from the Stone) and practiced a few of the worship songs that we will sing in front of the church tomorrow.
The team is excited to begin ministering side by side with the people here. Tomorrow, we will go to the church near the schoolhouse, Templo Biblico. Afterwards, the team will visit the batey (village) in Chichigua and then stop by a co-op program that benefits women in the area.
Please pray:
1) That the team will be a source of encouragement for the local body here.
2) That the Lord would use the members of the team to display his grace and love to the families of Chichigua.
3) That the Lord would continue to cultivate and attitude of walking with our neighbors instead of doing for them.
