My name is Cory Dixon and I am a first-year medical student at ACOM in Dothan, Alabama! I have been blessed to be set apart for this trip to the Dominican Republic (DR). I just wanted to share a little about my experience so far here in the DR. We have been able to use medicine as a vehicle to share Christ to each of the people who come in to our clinic. Through the clinic, I have been blessed to see many villages and the heart of the people here. It has been such an honor to work alongside such amazing native missionaries who have pushed me as well as others to share the love of Jesus to their people of the DR. I will share just one of the many experiences I had here. On my first day of being in the clinic, I was working in evangelism with Spanish translators who were also missionaries. The problem we had was most of the people there did not speak Spanish. They were refugees from Haiti and spoke a native Haitian language. This becomes a problem as we translating from English to Spanish to Creole which is extremely hard to translate the gospel twice in three different languages. So, through God’s sovereignty I got to see our translator take the reins and share the gospel with the Haitian people whom we were serving. It came out of nowhere as trying to translate the gospel that many times became too difficult. It was amazing, and it showed me that we were there really to come alongside these wonderful people and help serve them so they can serve those around them. The gospel is real and was being shown by not only us but by the people of the DR. It was such an honor to just be able to be a simple cog in the machine to be able to share the gospel with these folks.
I hope this was encouragement to all of you because it was such an amazing experience that I had. I hope God is glorified through this writing, trip, and everything we do. All Glory be to Him.
