I am so happy to have had the privilege of going to the Dominican Republic as a part of Quest 13 to serve God in unique ways. Personally the most amazing and heart-touching way that God worked happened on Monday. Though the churchgoers in the small village of Cercadillo were mostly smaller children and women, the youth had been seen less because they thought themselves too cool for church. However through English lessons, Ina was able to gain a few teenage guys and girls as students. On that Monday, our team helped out with the English lesson, and then the guys and the girls split up. Aaron, Eric, Tommy, and I went with the guys and the three Questies shared our testimonies. After explaining how God had payed the debt of our human sinfulness, and how important a decision to follow Christ was, one of the six Dominican boys, Paulino, said he wanted to make that first step. Soon after one by one the other five guys made the decision to follow Christ and we prayed over them. Following this initial prayer, each of the six Dominicans prayed and asked God to save them! It was so awesome to see how powerful God is when we simply obey Him and serve Him!
So often we place Him in a box and say that He cannot do anything outside that box...but the truth is that He can do anything, and is powerful enough to rescue every person on this planet. We serve a powerful God. It was just so cool to play soccer right after that meeting with those new brothers in Christ, just as we might do together again in Heaven!
