Bryan College Womens Basketball - Friday
Today was our only “free day” of the trip. We left at 7:30 this morning to drive to LaRomana to ship out to Catalina Island. We spent the entire day at Catalina Island, which is a natural monument in the Dominican Republic. We went with the other teams that are here (the Kentucky Christian University Men’s BBAll, the College of the Ozarks Men’s BBall as well as 8 members of Emmanuel Christian School’s (SC) graduating class. We spent the day snorkeling, swimming, laying out in the sun and jumping off cliffs. We had a wonderful buffet lunch with tons of fresh fruit and island food. It was tremendously relaxing and fun for our players. Tonight, for the first time, we will have a collective devotional time led by SCORE’s leaders. Up until tonight, each coach has been leading the devotions with their team.
This week has been going by very quickly. Many of our girls have mentioned that they don’t want to leave. They’ve also mentioned how they feel like there is so much work to do and that we are only scratching the surface. This is true and certainly punctuates the need for more missionaries and more ministry teams. Maybe some of our girls will want to do more in the future. Some of our young ladies have been saying how God has been moving in their lives. I look forward to seeing what the future holds.
