This video of our trip to the Dominican Republic shows some of our activities while there.
Thanks to Dr. Thomas Berg, one of the evangelists traveling with us, for putting this together. As Dr. Berg narrates you can get a sense of the blessings and excitement we experienced there.

There were 462 salvations as a result of Inside the Box visiting the Dominican. The blessings we received outnumber the salvations. Thank you, Lord, for using us.
Thank you again, Dr. Berg, for your time in putting this together.

Two Hours - 158 Salvations
Dominican Update: These are only highlights and snippets of the events. When the team returns we will be asking them to share more of the actual stories with you.
Day 5 & 6 (Tuesday & Wednesday) ministering and showing the box at the Christian schools. The majority of the students are not Christians, however. There were over 140 students who accepted the Lord in two days.
Day 7: (Thursday) A little time for sightseeing and then on to another church in San Cristobal. (Long bumpy ride)
Day 8: (Friday) A slower day trying to get translators, sitting on bus waiting for a long time. 15 salvations. The churches visited are in some of the poorest, crime ridden areas. (While they were speaking there was a rat that ran across one of the wires.)
According to one of the pastors this area is hungry for the Lord, their hearts are ready. He said it is like the time of Pentecost. These are a religious people - but they don't have the whole story....they are ripe and ready for the saving truth of God's word.
Today-Day 9 (Saturday) the mission team did a video presentation and a question and answer period following. While the presentation was going on a mom whose child was saved the day before at the school came in. One of the local men went up to her and asked her to look in the box and they were able to lead her to the Lord.
Apx. 30 people went down with the mission team to the ocean side. The mission team members were partnered with a translator and a local. At one time there were 15 people waiting to look in the box. The team was running up and down the area, answering questions and then sending the translator out with a local to be a new team. In only 2 hours, 158 salvations took place. PRAISE God for his presence and faithfulness.
Tomorrow is Sunday. We will be speaking 3 times at churches again.

Inside the Box Goes International
The team will be traveling from Santo Domingo, to San Cristobal and surrounding countryside. There are several local churches and pastors who are hosting Inside the Box. Also a special Youth meeting is planned for this evening. In the days to come our mission team will be training local pastors how to use Inside the Box to lead people to Christ.
Apx. $1500 was needed to finance each person making the trip. Many fundraisers helped to meet the expenses for the ministry team. Congregations helped to make this possible through their prayers and donations. One pastor even ran his first 5k race with pledges of nearly $400 made toward the trip.

"and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." Acts 1:8
Please pray for our ministry team (and their families), for the local host pastors, those who will be in training and for hearts to be open to receive the Good News. Pray also that any language barrier will be bridged through the use of the translators and the Holy Spirit.
*For safety reasons we will not disclose individual names while the members are away.
