Dominican Wedding!

Today was a perfect day! I have always dreamed of getting to have a mini wedding and celebration with my Dominican family when I found the man of my dreams! Today that dream came true! Tanner and I had a second wedding and celebration in the Dominican with some of our street kids, village kids, and Dominican friends! The day started with some of our street kids needing money for shoes and new clothes so they could look their best. Our village kids and families came dressed in their best clothes and were so excited to celebrate! It was a simple and perfect celebration in our favorite place in the world! #missionaryatheart

Medical Emergency In a Third World Hospital...

Meet Caco (the little girl holding one of our mission crosses). We have taken care of her for five years. Right now she needs your help. She has fluid around her heart and is not doing well. Even worse she is getting medical care in a third world hospital that is not like anything you have ever seen in terms of poverty. Her single mother has zero money and relies solely on our support. Right now she needs medicine, testing, food, and transportation for the family to travel four hours to the capital to get to a decent hospital. Please please pray that God will bless this child with His amazing healing power as only he can do! If you feel led to donate towards sweet Caco’s medical care, please send a tax deductible on the “Donate Now” page. I can assure you every single penny will go directly towards Caco’s medical needs! #missionaryatheart

So Much Joy!

Happy Friday from #missionaryatheart! We are so thankful for the smiles on our kids faces and the joy that is radiating from them! Our goal at our mission house is for it to be a safe place for hungry, lost, and desperate street kids to come and just be kids for a little bit. In the process they learn about Jesus and have their daily needs met. Our mission house is the only place these kids feel loved and accepted. We are so thankful that we have the opportunity to invest in these kids lives! #missionaryatheart

Happy Thursday!

Happy Thursday from #missionaryatheart! We are so blessed to have the opportunity to help precious little boys just like this one every single day. His belly is swollen because it is full of parasites, his eyes are tired from sleeping on the dirt floor of the tin shack he calls home, and his heart is truly just crying out to be loved! We are so thankful that we are able to love on these sweet babies, teach them about the love of Jesus, and tend to their daily needs. Thank you Lord for allowing us the opportunity to change lives in the Dominican Republic! We truly could not do what we do without the love and contributions of all of our supporters! #missionaryatheart
