Today we woke up and enjoyed a great devotional led by our wonderful Kim Galloway. She got our minds focused on Jesus before we headed out to serve the community of Alemon. In this community, we were able to treat many adults and children. The students were able to learn so much from the amazing clinicians we have with us, and we got many chances to spread the Gospel to the people of the Dominican Republic. We were able to provide relief to many with back pain, shoulder pain, and difficulties walking around their community and working, but we were most excited about the ability we were given to share the good news of Christ with each patient. God is really working in this trip, and we have felt His presence with us every day. Even when we get discouraged with language barriers or when the students lose confidence in the skills we perform, God just keeps coming through and showing how we provide no healing without Him, The Great Physician. It has been really encouraging to see how God has united our group and given us the ability to lift each other up and give each other strength in our treatments and our daily walks with Him.
After a successful day of service, we returned to the SCORE facilities for a little down time. Some groups went for a run or walk while another group spent time in the pool treading water and playing our own new version of pool baseball. We reconvened for dinner, which was followed by some time together singing and sharing. God truly was alive tonight in our group as we were blessed with an amazing testimony from one of our own. We also got to worship with some of the missionaries from SCORE International. These people are doing great works in the Dominican Republic, including a Children’s Support mission and a ministry to end sex trafficking. The different ministries set up after our time worshipping, and we were able to purchase items they had made in order to help support the amazing works they are doing here. We enjoyed brownies and bought bracelets, T-shirts and other crafts. To end the night, we spent time together talking and bonding amongst the group. We will once again be serving the people of the Dominican Republic tomorrow. Your prayers are being felt and we ask for continued prayers for success in our mission for physical and spiritual healing in this country.
