OUTREACH MINISTRIES

From July 5th through August 12th, 2005, our own Ian Salsman went to the Dominican Republic on a mission trip as one of the leader's of the Xtreme Team ministry. Ian blogged his experiences HERE on this page with occasional updates and notes as the Lord guided him through this adventure and ministry experience.

Important: Be sure to visit the Xtreme Team website to view the "official" team blog pages with reports and photos from the participants.

7/20 - also at San Pedro

Also at Pedro Brand, we met a young lady of 14 years old named Maria. She was very beautiful with a pleasant smile, exceedingly polite and a truly joyful spirit about her. I understand she has two older siblings and one younger one but she handles the caretaking for them while the parents work. We gave her a ride to a rendezvous point to be taken by someone to the National Youth Retreat (which we would be going to in a couple of days). This young lady ALMOST did not come because her one pair of shoes were in the shop to be fixed. Her brother was supposed to pick them up but had forgotten. Fortunately, at the last moment, the brother went and got them so she would be able to go to the retreat. At the retreat though she was presented with a second pair of shoes -- a simple but true blessing to the young eyes.
