Outreach # 2 October 13-20 2012

   
With another great week behind us, it seems like so much has happened, probably because it has. With our second cooking class, a skit with the best looking clowns in town, and we had the best two outreach participants of the whole group. Here is what they wrote of their experience here.

I have so enjoyed my time here at Genesis this week! Seeing the children participate in Bible time, choosing what songs they should sing, and raising their voices and hands in praise to God was a joy everyday! Spending time with Mike and Karen and their family was a joy as well! I am thankful that God has provided a beautiful, loving environment for the students to come and learn and grow! I will long remember dancing with Yunior, Spanish lessons with Emanuel, the walk to the park with Henny, and many other fun times! Praise be to God!   Renee

When I had to decide on which site to work on in the Dominican Republic, I immediately chose Special Education.  As a parent of a disabled daughter, I was curious to see how special children were educated and cared for in another country.  From the first moment at Genesis, it became obvious that the children are loved and nurtured every day.  Karen, Mike and the teachers have great ideas for fun, informative learning.  If you come to Genesis, the children will steal your heart and you will never be the same.  You can see the love God has for these children pour out of every person at Genesis.  It was an amazing experience.    Kappy

What a great week it was. Now we have a week of no outreach groups and then a two week group to finish out our fall groups. Thanks for following us and keep the emails coming.   Mike Unternahrer
