Heading to the Dominican—Olivia & Jackson Kimes

Olivia: I always looked at the big DR family and thought to myself, “Man, I wish I could be a part of it.” I never really thought that I would get the chance to join and go on a trip, but this Spring it is happening! It couldn’t be better timing either, with my senior year I could tell God wanted to give me something to put new richness and perspective into my faith before I head off into the world. I am ecstatic, God is giving me this opportunity to grow stronger in my faith, and experience a heart to serve in a place that needs his light. I look forward to creating lasting bonds with the people I will meet, impacting people’s lives with service, and fulfilling God’s will to go out and be his people; to do good works in his name.

Jackson
: Some things I would like to get from this trip are the following: I want to see the world and know how they live in the Dominican, to grow my faith in God, and I want to  help small communities that need his love. Aside from a huge learning experience, I think the trip will be tons of fun and I am very excited!
