Words cannot do today justice, at least of my own experience. I have a picture which will tell a story I will never forget.
Sure, everyone worked their tails off, moving thousands (literally) of buckets of sand, water, and concrete up and down stairs…but my own personal highlight included a Dominican Spa Facial.
I’m waiting for a team member to give me the picture tomorrow….and I will just let that speak for itself.
Tomorrow I am going to “The Hole” which is a dump where people live. The poorest of the poor. I’m sure I’ll have lots of stories to share tomorrow night.
Thanks for your prayers!

I’ve got a feeling tomorrow is going to be one of those special days for you. Praying for open heart and open mind and then tons of ideas for how we can make a difference
“The Hole” is overwhelming… praying for you guys!
Amazing stories Anne. Thanks for the updates!
But let me get this straight now . . . let’s see . . . you moved ‘cross country to Nashville (shortly after you moved to OK!) took on a new job, finished a book (about burnout!) and like a week later leave on a trip to the DR? You’re a CRAZY woman, girl!! :-) Ahhh . . . to be young and w/o kids again! You go girl . . . just don’t over do it, please, OK??
Prayin’ for ya.

there is nothing better than stepping into literally a different world and accepting the call God has placed in front of you. Uncomfortable? Sometimes…Unforgetable? Most definitely. Enjoy loving on the people of the DR-there’s nothing closer to Jesus walking on this earth than loving the unloved and forgotten….man I so want to be there!!!!
Praying that you guys have an amazing day. I’ve heard so many stories about “The Hole” and know that it’s going to be a big day for all of you guys. Thanks for keeping us up-to-date. I just wish I was there too!
Thank you for keeping us up-to-date. I love hearing what God is doing around the globe. You rock!
Anne,
May today be the day when you and all those you are with will see God in ways you could not have even dreamed of. May there be seeds planted, harvested, and transformation take place where there was once nothing but sheer hard rock and stone… May hope find each one, fill up, and pour out.
May you risk more today than ever.
Praying for you guys! “The Hole” is very overwhelming and life changing. I can’t wait to swap stories.
