I guess you could say the official countdown has begun for our missions trip to Santiago, Dominican Republic coming up NEXT month (June 23-30th). A group of us met at WCLN 107.3 FM this past Saturday for our orientation video conference with participants from nine other states around the country. During the meeting, we were given invaluable tips and advice about our trip. We also went over a rough outline of the itinerary of events we'll be doing... BUSY.
My first thought coming out of the meeting was, WOW. I was much relieved to find out that the concerns/fears I have about this trip are fairly common amongst all of us who were present at the meeting... financial concerns, eating concerns, health issues and for some of us like me and April... the dreaded 'motion sickness'.... I actually felt a little better about that concern once I found out another traveler has the same problem.
Now we're all tasked with praying about the trip, our individual parts within the trip and especially for those we're going to see and minister to down there. Medical forms are being filled out and released... Doctors are being visited for shots and meds for the trip... Our Summer Vacation Bible School leader(s) are putting together lists of materials for us to bring...It's getting real!!!
Keep checking by here as I'll be journaling my trip to Dominican Republic both here and on the air at Christian 107.3 FM from now until we return.... and as always - please keep us in your prayers.... rest assured, you're in ours. (MG)
