One God, One Father Of All

"Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any
fellowship of the spirit, if any affection and mercy, fufill my joy by being
like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interest, but also for the interest of others." ~ Philippians 2:1-4

We didn't think it would be this hard to leave. The connections and relationships that we made with these girls in just one week are beyond what we though would be possible. The vulnerability these girls showed on the first day took us by surprise. We came on this trip expecting to touch their lives somehow, but what we didn't expect was that they would impact our lives as much as they did.
It was so hard to say goodbye, but we can leave with the joy of knowing that this won't be the last time we'll see these girls. We pray that they will continue growing in their faith, and rise above the standards their culture has set for them.
Its been an amazing week and we can speak for the entire team when we say that our outlook on life will never be the same. We thank God for this increbible opportunity, and we pray that we never forget our time in the Dominican Republic.

"There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptisim; one God and Father of all who is above all, and through all, and in you all." ~Ephesians 4:4-6

Love, Lo and Terra
