Daniel to DR

In March, 11 other Gordon students and I will be responding to God's call to serve in the Dominican Republic. 

We will be working alongside members of a small Haitian Baptist church, Colegio Moriah. It is home to Dominicans as well as Haitians, many of whom are descended from laborers who worked in the sugar cane fields and who still occupy the workers' shacks even after the sugar industry declined. Our being there helps the church realize its vision of restoring its neighborhood by providing a vibrant church community and quality elementary through high school education. 

The convergence of so many backgrounds, languages, and experiences is especially meaningful because Gordon has established and maintained a relationship with Colegio Moriah over several years. Our time with the church is a time among friends. Please support us as we are serving abroad, both prayerfully and financially. I am excited to see what God will do in the DR through our team.
