Turning Challenges into Blessings: A Rainy Day Reflection in the DR - Day 2
FPC Missions
Jun 4, 2024
When we woke up, it was either from the pitter-patter of the rain, the long, continuous rumble of the thunder, or similarly, a very loud snore. Devotional was constantly interrupted by the water hitting the roof, leading to the split of smaller groups. Despite this change, conversations remained fruitful as we discussed what it means to be poor in the world yet rich in spirit. In fact, several members of the group shared their own testimonies of hardships they encountered and how, through God’s generosity, saw their needs and provided for. After devo, we ate a very hearty breakfast which consisted of oatmeal and fruit. As we were getting ready for house visits, we were hit with the news that we may not be able to do house visits. It was raining SO hard that we all had to stay inside and watch the streets flood with red tinted water, props to the dirt. Nevertheless, we kept ourselves busy playing cards, hand games, making bracelets and of course, getting to know each other even better. This is a prime example of our group facing an unexpected challenge and making the most of it. Though we don’t know what God has in store for us, He will strengthen and empower us to be in the exact place He meant for us. With the day filled with challenges, we were able to turn our faces to God and he then gave us the wisdom and strength we needed.
Stay tuned for more updates from the field!
