before we moved to nashville, pete emailed me and told me to call him after i left work because he had something exciting to share. (this, please note, was before lunch time…and the suspense throughout the day was killing me!)
on my way home, i called him and he asked if i’d like to help lead a trip cross point is taking to the dominican. no question about it — yes!!
so, next tuesday, pete, myself, and a group of others (we are in the process of gathering all their blogs for those who have them) will be headed down to the dominican until july 22.
we are working on doing something similar to the compassion bloggers trip i went on, sharing with words, photos, and videos what we are doing and experiencing there.
if you’d like to pray for us, i know we would greatly appreciate it. and if you’d like to share our journey with your blog readers, you can find different sizes of the above image here at this link.
i hope you’ll follow us!

i’ll be following!
been to the DR…definitely a place worthy of going to. they need our love and support.
what is your purpose for going? raising awareness?
I’m really excited about this! One of my Compassion kids live in the Dominican Republic and it will be great to see/hear about his country in more detail!!
Having recently been to Dominican Republic I’ll be very keen to stay up to date with your time there.
If you have any contact with the people from the Compassion office while you’re there, please say hello from me.
Thanks so much for sharing — I will definitely be following along. I was just there in January and will be returning for the International Conference in October. I have lots of friends there —
I went on the trip last year. You are going to have an amazing time. I can’t wait to keep up with you all through the blog!
Thanks also for the widget–I have it posted on MySpace and at my WordPress blog. Is it possible to post it on Facebook as well? I will let others know about it.
Holy cow. That is amazing. I will post the widget on my blog if I can figure it out. :) (Just got a wordpress) But, uh. :) Yeah. I would love to go there. :) I am leaving for Costa Rica on July 19th with my Church and fiance.
Anyways. You’re in my prayers.
I’ve just recently come upon your blog, and I love it! I will be following, and I will be praying. “The one concern of the devil is to keep the saints from prayer. He fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless work, prayerless religion. He laughs at our toil, mocks our wisdom, but trembles when we pray. (Samuel Chadwick)” May he be trembling the entire time you are in DR!
Have a GREAT trip. As a former missionary in the D.R. from 2004-2005, your blog title caught my eye. I will be returning (Lord willing) in August for a week-long mission trip. May God richly bless your travels, your ministry while you are there and the wonderful people of the Dominican.
I will be following and also praying
Very, very cool! One of my sponsored children is in the Dominican Republic. Who knows, maybe you will meet her while you are there! I hope to be able to go there one day, too.
On a totally unrelated note, I love your new blog picture!
Can’t wait for next week. Thanks for setting up the widgets. Just added mine!
