Throughout
the month of March we had several groups come and serve alongside us
here at the Young Mens Social Work Site. My first Spring team was
Students International's first local team from right here in the
Dominican Republic. Joel and Xavier are two amazing men of God who are
studying in the Academia in Santiago in the area of Theology. They are
both interested in doing ministry where God calls them. They were such a
HUGE blessing and spoke many words of TRUTH into the lives of the guys
in the streets of Jarabacoa.
The Second week was a group of three guys: Scott, Ian, and Ethan who came with a lot of willingness to be used by God with their very distinct gifts. God brought this very unique team together: a student, a pastor, and a geologist and with all of the differing life experiences, God did some AWESOME work through this group. I was impressed with the ways that these guys connected with the young men despite the language barrier.
The third week was the largest group I have ever had. José (Alfred), Scott, Roberto, Dan, and Tyler came from a Christian school in California called Heritage Christian School. God had a very special plan with this group as well. The Holy Spirit totally was at work this week both in the team and as well as the young men they came into contact with. I admire them so much for their willingness to come and be learners, and through that sometimes humbling experience, allow God to use them in ways they probably never thought they could be used. Many of them were impacted by the faith of a new brother in the faith. It was so cool to see God take the two worlds, cultures, languages and unite them in a way that is One. Only JESUS can do a work as such. They challenged each other to seek God out with all of their hearts and find true joy in Him.
God's body and love has no barriers. It is SO BIG! It goes well beyond culture, race, language, nationality and HE is working on a global level. It has been such a blessing this last month to see God combine these worlds and serve together as HIS church. Thank you to all of you who came and came humble and willing to see God work. God Bless.
