Dominician Republic

If a picture could tell you a story, this little boy would have a lot to say. The expression on his face, lacks all enthusiam, or hope. That's because he lives in one of the poorest places in the Dominician Republic. He lives in a village called Batey Ocho (villiage #8). It's only exsistance is to provide labor for the Sugar Cane companies. There are several of these Batey's around the Dominician Republic and no words can describe the manner in which they live. But to them this is simple a way of life. We can not measure their life by our standards, or our yard stick if you will. What I saw is a people who through insurmountable odds, have survived and worshiped God. And whose faith in Him is what lead them through. I am so grateful to have met my brothers and sisters in Christ serving in the kingdom of God's family. I walk away knowing that their faith is the kind to strive for. There faith is tried through life's fire, and they are still dancing like the three Hebrew children. God bless his people.

Remember Look up, live life, and be thankful.
