Ministry continued today in full force, and it’s been incredible to watch our students grow bolder, more unified, and more surrendered to the work God is doing in and through them. From construction sites and food distribution routes to vibrant VBS programs and sweet time spent in a local orphanage, our teams are showing up with energy and compassion despite the heat. They’re not just participating—they’re leading. Students have stepped up to share their stories and present the Gospel using “The Four” method, and they’ve been quick to pray over the people they meet. Many community members shared about the recent tragedy in Santo Domingo, and our students responded with tenderness, empathy, and bold prayers, listening to the Spirit and offering comfort where it was needed most.

In the evenings, the students have loved spending time together playing soccer, volleyball, and other games on the Rawlings complex. Those moments of fun are forming deep friendships and giving them a chance to recharge and connect. Afterward, we gather for worship and our teaching series,Made to Magnify, as we walk through the book of Colossians. Tonight, Dylan presented the Gospel clearly, calling students to reflect on the ways they may not be making Jesus the true center of their lives. It was a powerful time—students responded by praying, asking God to convict them, and re-centering their hearts on Him. We’re watching lives change day by day, and we’re so proud of the way these students are saying “yes” to what God is calling them to.
