Today we took our street kids on a field trip! We loaded up on motos after the kids had their bible study and lunch and went to the local baseball field in town! Our street kids were able to play a real baseball game for the first time ever! We passed out gloves and bats and made teams and had a great time! Most of our kids didn’t even have shoes and played barefoot. Today was filled with firsts, lots of laughs, and so much joy! I’m so thankful I have been given the opportunity to invest in these kids lives! ❤️⚾️ #missionaryatheart
Dominican Wedding!
Today was a perfect day! I have always dreamed of getting to have a mini wedding and celebration with my Dominican family when I found the man of my dreams! Today that dream came true! Tanner and I had a second wedding and celebration in the Dominican with some of our street kids, village kids, and Dominican friends! The day started with some of our street kids needing money for shoes and new clothes so they could look their best. Our village kids and families came dressed in their best clothes and were so excited to celebrate! It was a simple and perfect celebration in our favorite place in the world! #missionaryatheart
Medical Emergency In a Third World Hospital...
Meet Caco (the little girl holding one of our mission crosses). We have taken care of her for five years. Right now she needs your help. She has fluid around her heart and is not doing well. Even worse she is getting medical care in a third world hospital that is not like anything you have ever seen in terms of poverty. Her single mother has zero money and relies solely on our support. Right now she needs medicine, testing, food, and transportation for the family to travel four hours to the capital to get to a decent hospital. Please please pray that God will bless this child with His amazing healing power as only he can do! If you feel led to donate towards sweet Caco’s medical care, please send a tax deductible on the “Donate Now” page. I can assure you every single penny will go directly towards Caco’s medical needs! #missionaryatheart
So Much Joy!
Happy Friday from #missionaryatheart! We are so thankful for the smiles on our kids faces and the joy that is radiating from them! Our goal at our mission house is for it to be a safe place for hungry, lost, and desperate street kids to come and just be kids for a little bit. In the process they learn about Jesus and have their daily needs met. Our mission house is the only place these kids feel loved and accepted. We are so thankful that we have the opportunity to invest in these kids lives! #missionaryatheart
Feliz Cumpleanos!
Feliz Cumpleanos to our right hand woman at our mission house! Gloria works for us in the Dominican and we couldn’t do what we do without her and her husband, ChiChi! She loves our kids like her own and we are so thankful for her! You can tell how awesome she is because she is right up front on the bus with all the kids! #happybirthday 🎉🎂🎈🎁 #missionaryatheart
