SCORE

SCORE...

What is SCORE?

SCORE stands for….
Sharing, Christ, Our, Redeemer, Enterprises.



Vision Statement:
“To glorify God through missions in obedience to the Great Commission.” Matt. 28:19-20, 1 Peter 4:7-11


Great flight. Landed in Santa Domingo to pouring rains. This is what I looked like when we got to the bus! That's ok though because it cooled things off! 

Look at the "bumper" ...EVERY vehicle we saw had these grills and let me tell you they need them. The drivers are insane!!! 
Our home for the next week! 
Our rules and orientation before we hit the ground running! 
We walked about a mile to the beach this afternoon when there was a break in the rain. It was beautiful! Then we went back to the complex for dinner. 
Our dinner group. All smiles! 
Dana is ALL SMILES to...they don't have diet coke but this is close enough for the week! 
Getting ready for our SCORE service. Just part of our group. 
Me after I dried out...I'm thinking the short haircut was definitely a good idea! 
The most energetic sermon tonight! An ex gang member turned missionary from the Dominican. He did a superb job on the importance of reading your Bible and serving others. 
Our room! Not bad at all! 
It's been a super long day. We woke up at 2:30am in covington. It's 10:30pm here now. 

Until tomorrow...Say your prayers! 

Santa Domingo Bound

And we're off! My very first mission trip with my first born who is now officially a "high school senior"! 

Wow! Unbelievable really. Doesn't seem possible. 

If you are reading this, please add us to your prayer list. I have never spoken to anyone that has ever regretted going on a mission trip. I am expecting great things for Ally and I this week. I know it will definitely be a reality check for both of us. 

Stay tuned. Depending on the internet I may or may not be able to post from there. 

Thanks!

 Adiós
