building community in the DR

we've already had several weeks full of interns and lots of fun here in the DR. our current interns - constance, holly, brad, drew, barrett, chris, and now robin, who is staying for a year - have been doing a great job both in the villages and around the house. it is wonderful to see all of the gifts that we each can use in this place.

in addition to our interns, this week we have the Krone family (including their 4 daughters) spending time with us in the villages as well as in the MAK house. it has been wonderful getting to know and serve alongside this amazing family who is introducing their girls to missions at such a young age. these pale little girls have been the amazement and joy of many dominican and haitian children this week.

after their time with us is up at the end of this week, we (all MAK staff and interns - there are still more to come!) will head to cabarete for a retreat to prepare us for the rest of our summer together. please be praying for this retreat - that the Lord would use it to strengthen our community so we will work together as ONE body, that He would teach us all more about himself, and that our summer planning will be blessed to bring Him glory through all that we do.
