One of the communities where G.O. serves is called “The
Hole.” There is a nutrition center there that serves about 100 kids a hot meal every day and most
importantly they are being fed spiritually. I have never felt heartbreak like I
did the day I fed a little girl that couldn’t feed herself because she was too
weak from her lack of nutrition. The kids in this place live in an environment
where many of their parents are in bondage to a life of drugs and/or
prostitution. Many do not receive the love of a parent, or the nourishment that
every child should receive. I was overwhelmed by the lack of basic necessities
including clean water, food, shoes, and the proper clothes for the children to
attend school. When we go to “The Hole”, the kids start running up to us
and want to be carried, hugged, loved and appreciated. I was touched because I
realized how something as simple as showing God’s love can make such a
difference to an entire group of people / as well as one child. I was also able
to see myself serving the Lord in a place just like this; preaching His word
and sharing the hope of Christ to individuals that see no way out. The pain and
heartache I felt for those children that day was so intense! I began to sense a
calling from God to work with the people of the Dominican Republic. I
want to equip them with the tools they need to obtain the basic necessities of
life. I knew God wanted me to arrange my life to be able to accomplish his
calling. God is changing my heart, my yearnings, and He is breaking all the
barriers and excuses that I put in place. God is opening doors that I never
thought would be possible!
My job at G.O. Ministries will be (Coordinator

support the partners and to fall in love with the people on the island of
