Reece's First Team Recap

Week one is at its end.

I have been on trips before as part of a team, but now I am here helping to lead the teams during their one week trip.

This is my first team:

They are a great group from Nashville Tennessee.

Here's Team Crosspoint's construction project. This is the future site of the new Medical Center. Pretty, isn't it?

We had to take this rock and spread it evenly over the water to give a base for the basement floor to be poured.

We also went to different communities to do VBS. This is the Hole, a community that has developed around an old land fill.

This is a water purification system that was set up a few years ago. it provides clean water to the community. It's open twice a week for the community to bring buckets to fill.

Crosspoint had a great VBS. Puppets and crafts are always a hit with kids.

 This is where we eat all of our meals. Yours truly does the set up and clean up. But a lovely bunch of Dominican ladies do the cooking.

Meet my new friend Moses (or Mois in Creole). He is a Haitian Pastor with a great passion and vision for what God has called him to. He has a church and feeding center that feeds the local kids in the community. He also has plans for training up future pastors and leaders by starting his own seminary. I will keep him and his ministry in my prayers.

 It was a great week. I made a lot of new friends, received encouragement, and hopefully was an encouragement to the team while we served God side by side.

Can't wait to meet the next team.
