I liked to tell everyone that I had no expectations for the trip. I was going to be spending 3 weeks in the Dominican Republic and all I wanted was tofeel a part of the team, experience God and have fun. I wanted to believe that I was going into the next few weeks totally dependent on God.    The truth was, I did have expectations- and a lot of them. As soon as I arrived in Georgia for training camp, I was already filled with anxiety over an assortment of things.  Will my team like me? Will I make any friends? Will I embarrass myself a lot? Will I feel God’s...

After A whildwind of a travel day the DR participants have officially made it to MIAMI!! We will fly out at 9:38 and head to Georgia. We will arrive in Georgia a little after 11:30pm and will be spending the next 2 nights at a hotel in Georgia. This bunch is definitely some Super Troopers!    I’m sure that they are calling you parents right now! 🙂    Blog Posts coming SOON!  

I have been here in the DR with the team for 8 days now! Within those 8 days I have learned a lot about God, the community, my team, and myself. And to think we are about half way through the trip is crazy because of everything that has happened. There is one very important lesson I want to share with everyone and my experience! So here it goes! So far on this trip I have learned a lot about how express to others when they have hurt me. I have had to do this a couple times so far on the trip because there were a couple incidents in the beginning of the trip. That was honestly really hard for...

 It has been a little over a week now since I said my goodbyes in Philadelphia, headed to Georgia, and then left the States for the Dominican Republic. The week brought on new memories and new experiences that I will hold onto forever. A few months back I had not even heard of Adventures In Missions. Going to the Dominican Republic was not even a thought to cross my mind until a dear friend asked me if I would be up to going to the Dominican with her. I immediately said yes and started filling out the application. My friend ended up not being able to go, but by that point I had already...

If I told you that this morning I colored and talked to God next to a waterfall would you believe me? Most people would not! But I did! We got to the Dominican Republic Monday around 5 p.m. after a long crazy journey. We had to get up at 2 in the morning after only going to sleep around 12 or 1. We got through security and checked in with one person throwing up and one needing a wheelchair, because she felt to weak to walk that far. To say the enemy was against us would be an understatement. However, that did not stop our desire and drive to make it to the DR. The Dominican Republic is absolutely...

Hey all, We have made it safely to Lajas. We have had a few sicknesses in the past 3-4 days, but everyone is doing better now. There will be more of a blog posted in the next 48 hours written by one of our participants. Today has been a rest day full of sleep and relaxation. This afternoon we are doing some clean up on the property.    Here are a few photos taken by Kelly Orban. ENJOY     The View from the balcony.      The Pavillion. We eat our meals here.   View of part of the property.    The guys playing basketball! When relaxing do...
