2012 Dominican Republic Medical Mission Team

Beginning Monday, and for the next five days, our small group blog will be utilized by the Dominican Republic Medical Mission team.  Each day, a member of the team will post to the blog their reflections on the day. 

On my first mission trip, I had a journal titled “Everyday People,” by Frank Nelson.  The devotions in this journal helped me to submit myself to the extraordinary things God had in store for me on that trip.  Some of the things I took away from this 7-day devotional were:

We are ordinary, everyday people, but God has called us to do more, Paul tells us in

2 Corinthians 4:7:

^“7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.”

The team will set up medical clinics in four different villages in the region of Guerra. The team has chosen to place their ordinary lives -- their sleeping, eating, going-to-work and walking-around life--and place it into the hands of the Master Potter.  God will shape and use each of us in extraordinary ways!  Check back each day next week to see how God has shaped us to be the people He wants us to be!
