First Baptist Church Mathiston

We arrived in Santo Domingo this afternoon and hit the ground running! After picking up our team from Mississippi, we made a quick stop at La Sirena (Walmart) in Baní to grab some snacks. The energy was high as we continued the journey to Barahona.

Upon arrival, we were met with open arms and huge smiles by Pastor Ruperto and the enthusiastic youth group from his church. We shared a delicious dinner and then dived into an orientation meeting. 

Barahona, here we come! We're excited to see what God has planned for us tomorrow, starting with the Sunday morning service and an afternoon prayer walk. Stay tuned for our next update!

Our hearts were filled with joy as we gathered for Sunday morning service at Iglesia Cada de Gracia. Pastor Ruperto had invited Pastor Will to deliver the message, and he did not disappoint.

Drawing from 2 Timothy 1, Pastor Will's sermon centered on the importance of believers standing strong in the Lord and sharing the Gospel with others. His message was a powerful reminder of our faith and the impact we can have on those around us.

The church was truly edified by Pastor Will's words, and we left the service feeling inspired and encouraged. All glory to God!

Stay tuned for our next journal entry, where we'll share about our afternoon prayer walk.

 Join us in prayer for the people of Barahona and for the continued success of our mission trip.

This afternoon, we divided into five groups and partnered with members of the church to spread God's love throughout the community.

We visited homes, prayed for individuals and families, and shared the message of hope and salvation. It was a truly blessed and productive afternoon, filled with heartwarming moments of connection and spiritual nourishment.

We're grateful for the opportunity to serve alongside our local partners and witness the transformative power of faith.

Looking Ahead:

 Monday: Service project in the morning, followed by Vacation Bible School for children in the afternoon.

Prayer Request:

Please pray for continued guidance and strength as we continue our mission in Barahona. Your prayers are greatly appreciated!
