At the end of May, we flew to the Dominican to celebrate with the first graduating class of Freedom Christian School! Check out some of the experiences we were privileged to be a part of that week.

Sponsorship Luncheon

The morning after we arrived on campus, we walked over to the multi-use for breakfast. As I looked around, my heart was overwhelmed with gratitude; I saw sponsors and others who have invested in Freedom for many years. I’m convinced that I got a small glimpse of heaven. It’s going to be an amazing thing sit in Jesus’ presence someday with other saints who have given much to see the gospel go out!

The Freedom sponsorship crew put on an amazing luncheon; missionaries, students, and sponsors shared about the impact that this program has made in each of our lives.

Batey Tour

Throughout the years, we’ve always given our visitors a tour as we travel out to the villages to do ministry. As part of our programmed time in the afternoon, we visited Lima. It was an incredible thing for me to witness our seniors as the tour guides! Instead of missionaries sharing stories, the young people who actually live in these places spoke to us about their experiences and how Freedom has made an impact in their hearts and lives.

In Lima, we visited the Nazarene church building “where it all began.” Several people prayed and thanked God for the many ways He has worked over the last decade and a half.

Graduation

The graduation ceremony was incredible! What a full-circle moment! The entire ceremony, I had flashbacks to bygone memories- some difficult, and some beautiful. God carried us through each day and allowed us to see the result of His work in kids’ lives.

Catching Up with Friends

We stayed a couple extra days to catch up on some hugs and laughs with the team! Thankful for the relationships that have held strong over the years!

I serve a good God! Thanks for following along with me!
