4 years ago everyone told us not to help him because he was crazy. 4 years ago people told us he was stupid. 4 years ago people told us he would never amount to anything and we couldn't make a difference in his life. 4 years ago he had never heard the words "I love you" being spoken to him. 4 years ago he went to sleep each night wondering where his next meal would come from. 4 years ago he had never had anyone pray for him. 4 years ago he felt lost, unloved, and abandoned. This is Petete and for 4 years we have been feeding him, bathing him, giving him clean clothes, and loving on him every single day. When Petete first started coming to our mission house 4 years ago, he peed in the kitchen, jumped on the counter to unscrew the light bulbs, and didn't know how to use a bar of soap in the shower. Now, he is saying the prayer in front of 100 of our other street kids during our daily devotion at the mission house! This may seem small, but to us it is huge! And we believe in celebrating every tiny victory with our kids! When you donate to #missionaryatheart...you aren't just sending money...you are changing lives!
I Said Yes!
The man of my dreams and answer to my prayers surprised me and asked me to spend forever with him. To make it more perfect it happened in the Dominican with all my kids. What a perfect day!
Headed home!
We are traveling home today after what has been an incredible group trip! Lives were changed and everyone that was a part of the trip has many stories to tell! God showed up big! I am forever thankful for this group of friends that loves my Dominican babies with all of their hearts! Prayers as we continue our full day of travel back home today and for all of the group trip members as they adjust back to being home. #missionaryatheart
Day 1!
Our first full day in the Dominican was great! But I think everyone would say church tonight was their favorite part of the day! I love seeing everyone in the group get to experience our precious Dominican church! The pastor prayed over and laid hands on every single person in our group. Even though all of the songs and prayers were in Spanish...everyone felt the presence of the Holy Spirit! What an incredible experience! #missionaryatheart
Group Trip!
It's group mission trip time! We are off to what is going to be an incredible week in the Dominican Republic! Prayers for safe travels! #missionaryatheart
