Can words be as impactful as seeing something with your own eyes? In most circumstances, I believe that sight can provide an individual with substantially more insight than words. Besides, did not God give us two eyes and only one mouth? However, there is power in God’s Word. While the sensations of the Dominican Republic are still a profound mystery to me, I will try to convey how it was that I saw God’s Word come to life. During the latter part of our trip, the ladies of the D.R team and I were given the blessing of working with Ina York. As a woman of unfathomable faith and unwavering dedication to the Lord, Ina followed God’s call for her life to the Dominican Republic. It has only been about four years that she has permanently been there, but the impact that she has had on the people of Cercadillo is beyond imagination. From facing the witchcraft on the village head-on, to leading dozens of women to Christ, Ina revealed herself to be a true servant of Christ. There was one instance at the village where we were all sitting around in a circle with the women. Susie had asked a few girls to share their testimonies, but after Yassie, there was no time for anyone else because one by one the women shared their stories. I was blown away by the hardships that they had faced, but I was even more humbled by the fact that they all praised God for his love. God is incredible.
