Most people when they think about the Domincan Republic think of pristine white beaches and fruity drinks. My team is blessed to be serving GOD in Azua, a working class town in the southern part of the DR that most tourists never get a chance to see.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words so here are some pictures from our 1st week of ministry.
Here is a picture of the mural which is on the side of the school where we are teaching English to kids and adults.
The mural incoporates Proverbs 1 Verse 7 which says The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge but fools despise
wisdom and discipline.
Victrail this picture is for you… it is me teaching basketball fundamentals to kids in Azua
