Day 1: 2026 Dominican Republic
We have arrived!
After a delayed start and a long day of travel, our team arrived in the Dominican Republic around midnight. Everyone made it through the flights and the drive to the hotel, and we are grateful to have the team in the DR and settling in.
Today will be their first full day, and John will preach, so please be pray for him as he prepares and shares. We’d also appreciate prayers for the team as they adjust after travel, build relationships with the people they’ll serve, and begin the work God has for them this week.
Thank you for continuing to lift up the team and the ministry in the Dominican Republic!
HOw we saw god at work today:
Safe arrival of the team despite a delayed start and a long day of flights and transportation
A smooth transition to the hotel, with everyone settling in well and maintaining great attitudes after the big day
In early opportunities for connection within the team and excitement for the ministry work
prayer requests:
Please pray for John as he preaches at the local Dominican church, that the message would be clear, impactful, and communicated well through translation
The team during home visits to deliver groceries and spend time with families in the community, that their conversations would be encouraging and Christ-centered
A quick adjust to the hotter climate
Rest so everyone can begin the week refreshed and ready to serve
