Just how hard is it to pick up and move from America to a foreign third-world country? Some people used to sarcastically tease me with, “Missions work on a tropical island huh? Sounds tough to me.” But reality is we are far from the beaches, far from any resorts, and definitely very far from the connivance of Wal-Mart. The average Dominican has never been to San Juan, and doesn’t plan on visiting. When the airport taxi drivers in Santo Domingo find out where we our final destination lies, a strange looks falls upon their faces, “why San Juan?”.

So how hard is it to move here from the States? Why not ask one of our new staff at the Dominican Base. Our full time crew grew by 150% this last month, jumping from two to five. It’s amazing how much more ground a group of 5 can cover. GOD has blessed our small community of five with love for one another, and a common heart for the DR.

For the next two days I invite you to check into the base blog and read up on each new staff’s short biography. Please pray for them as GOD moves through them to bring HIS Kingdom to the Dominican Republic.
