Happy Easter from #missionaryatheart! Because of our incredible supporters, all of our kids in the Dominican Republic are able to know the love of Jesus and learn about the the meaning of the cross! We are so very thankful for all of the love and support that so many individuals show us!

Love Your Neighbor
These children understand the meaning of love your neighbor even when they are both hungry and weak. The Bible tells us in Matthew: "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" And He said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments depend the whole Law."
Matthew 22:36-40

Imagine....
Imagine living in such poverty where pigs eat out of your trash at your front door. Imagine children walking barefoot in the pig's waste. Imagine washing your dishes in dirty water while the pigs eat in front of you. Pigs, dogs, mud, mosquitoes, no water to clean, and all of that being walked through your house every day. This is real life for the people in our villages. Imagine...

Petete in the Hose
Thank you for keeping our kids safe.
The kids had a great week at the mission house. The best way to sum it up is this video where Petete is playing for the first time with a water hose. Good food, clean clothes, and lots of fun! And yet, while our kids were safe with us, in another area a 14 year old teenager was shot and killed for try to steal 50 pesos ($1.00). Another 16 year old teenager was stabbed and killed over a girlfriend.
You see your support does far more than just help feed our children. The money helps keep our kids safe and keeps them off the streets so they can just be kids for the day. Imagine trying to survive at 8-12 years old living on the streets with no money, no family, and no place to live while you are surrounded by drugs, violence, and waking up daily to the news someone was killed during the night. Thank you for supporting #missionaryatheart both financially and in prayer! Without your support none of this would be possible!
