The Vision Trip to D.R. was AMAZING! The couples that came were really open to what God has for them. Q did a great presentation on Thursday evening to introduce HOPE to us, and how everything works. This was especially helpful on Friday when we went out to see the communities and to observe the bank meetings and loan dispersals. It's so moving to see the joy on their faces as they receive their loans and the hope in their eyes when they talk about the business they plan to start, or what they can do to improve their lives. The connection we have with the HOPE employees in D.R. is such a gift from God. They are amazing people with incredible stories of how God changed their lives and led them to work for Esperanza. Daniel was our interpreter and driver on Friday as we traveled to the different communities. He took very good care of us and arranged everything for our stay.
There were 5 couples total including Q and I. Whitney and Josh from Minnesota,Bill and Charlene from NY, Chris and Caroline from South Carolina, and Rick and Ginger from Lancaster, PA. We had so much fun getting to know everyone. Every night we stayed up late sitting out by the pool talking and laughing. The trip was truly a gift from God, and I am so grateful that I was able to be a part of it.
