Summer "Half-time" recap in pictures

A little out of order but this will have to do! A little glimpse into summertime in Santiago.
Fun 4 days of ministry with the AIA college baseball group. Spending an awesome morning sharing with our GO academy players 

AIA out in Tamboril

My summer has included LOTS of sharing our vision for the LDC. It never gets old sharing what God is doing and how we believe he is going to reach the next generation through the LDC!

Lots, and lots, and lots, and lots of moving sand!

more sand

Loved having some real special groups down. Jen Ochs from Glen Ellyn Bible Church sharing with some kiddos at our church and nutrition center in Los Perez

GO Basketball league

Ben Wilson from GEBC threw kids around .... all.day.long

GEBC at Los Perez

Spent lots of time at our churches and nutrition centers. It never gets old sharing the stories of our Pastors and local leaders and what God is doing in their communities.

Another GEBC picture (had the good camera all week with them!)

Jose Luis and Alan during our trip to Louisville for the TCBIV Golf Outing. With some of the Hoehner girls

Never a dull moment around these crazy kids

Great event, great day. Fun spending time with these guys and all that worked hard to put this event together.

A few of our players putting in some work for our temporary fields out at the LDC!

Dominican players and American players working together during AIA's trip

Always blessed by spending time with this guy. Love his heart for reaching souls through baseball.

GEBC working hard at LDC land

Been amazing serving alongside Dariana all summer. We have worked together on a few teams and I've loved seeing her heart for kids really come through. I am getting a little concerned that she may steal/adopt a little haitian boy from one of our churches!

Basketball clinic in Los Salados with St Luke's youth group from Houston 

Sharing with the baseball players in Los Salados. Awesome turnout, many seeds planted and many kids accepting Christ for the first time. Such an encouragement for Pastor Elvis serving in this community.

We have had phenomenal interns ... seriously incredible. Always ready for whatever "intern duties" come their way. Ben Nussbaum taking one for the team during GO basketball week

GO Basketball week ... the crew brought it hard in the morning at the devotionals!

Los Salados

Group from Gridley, IL with a VBS at Medina's church in Cambronal.

This photo is just hilarious. 4th of July, the Metros decided to bring us out for an honorary jump ball in front of probably 8,000 people "to honor our nation's birthday!" Happy Birthday America

Another awesome crew. Wishing I could have spent more time in Hato del Yaque, but it was so great to see the FCC group if just for a short time.

Starting to look more and more like a baseball field!
I think I could hit BP with this view 

Lincoln Christian Church with their "tool of choice" after a tough 3 days putting in perimeter fencing and spreading sand on our temporary fields.

GO Basketball league.

Start em young!
