3 days until takeoff! We’re getting excited that our wait is almost over, and we’ll soon be on our way to the DR. A little about us . . . we’re a group of 6 adults and 7 teens (some shown above) who attend York Alliance Church in York, Pennsylvania, and we’ve all signed up to spend part of our summer volunteering together in a developing country. Why? Well, we’re all a little bit crazy. J

Why else would we fly toward the equator in the heat of summer? Why would we leave the comfort of our air conditioning, the safety of our homes, the love of our families to travel to a foreign place? Temporary insanity, yes, but it’s more than that. We’re following the example set by Someone a long time ago. Jesus himself left heaven (a place way more comfortable than York, PA) and came to earth to serve the needy, to love the broken, and to reach the lost. It’s our goal to do the same in the DR.

Stay tuned to hear more about our adventures . . . and our efforts to help the people we meet!
