Fordword Forever

Our adventures in the Dominican Republic Santo Domingo West Mission February 2011-August 2012.

Sunday, April 8, 2012

This cathedral in the Colonial Zone of Santo Domingo DR was begun in 1514--making it the oldest church in this hemisphere. That was only 20 years after Columbus discovered this land! It is a beautiful building--and a testament to the devotion of early explorers for whom religion was reason enough to risk their lives--and take the lives of certain others.

"With an eye single to His glory. . ." As we embark on this fourth adventure, we are focused on being His eyes and hands in the Dominican Republic Santo Domingo West Mission. I love this drawing created for me by my granddaughter Rosalie H. Ledezma. It captures for me the essence of service.
