Thoughts on Dominican
I (Melissa) love to travel, to immerse myself in other cultures, to meet the large family of God. I find joy in bringing a team along – especially newbies who remind me of the first-time awe and joy of a mission trip. I’m grateful for the physical reminders of what daily life is like for the majority of the world. Did you know that if you make $35,000/year, you are in the top 5% of the … Read entire article »

Home from the Dominican Republic

Much was accomplished in relationship-building as well as practical accomplishments like constructing a clinic, completing a formulary, creating patient files, etc. Our fondest memories from the week will be the … Read entire article »

Dominican Republic Update – Day 6
This will be a very brief update tonight. First of all because we are meeting tonight with all the Servant’s Heart Ministry staff as a time for debriefing so there isn’t much time otherwise. Secondly because I’ve been busy working on the video all day and still finishing up tonight. Thirdly because since I was at the hotel there are not pictures today! I’ll try to update one more time before we head home tomorrow. I’ll add some pictures as well. They finished the outside walls today. We have pictures of the first block being placed and the last block. Also, a media crew came out and interviewed Dale Feeler for the local news. I knew … Read entire article »
