DR Missions Trip Support Opportunity
3 comments Jan 29, 2012 | Posted by Greenville Grace in Missions
On March 2-10, the Fourman Medical Team is taking a group from Grace, other area churches and students from Cedarville University to the Dominican Republic for a week long mission trip. While there, they will be providing medical/dental and construction services to the people of the Dominican Republic and most importantly, proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ.
While it is too late to get involved by going on this trip, it’s not too late to support their medical and missionary efforts. There are a number of ways you can support this trip, most importantly through prayer. Please be praying that God would be working in the lives of those that will be ministered to, that He would open hearts to hear the truth. Pray for those going that they would be willing servants of Jesus Christ and pray that all would be done to the glory of God!
The team will be taking much needed supplies with them and are asking for your help in obtaining them. The following are items that you can donate to support their efforts:

Wonderful to read this and see everyone preparing for the ministry team that is coming. Could we make a couple of changes on the lists, please?
Bob would prefer shelled pistachios if possible
Also under the medicines: (I read it to Bob and these are his requests)
We need Tussin DM and Tussin CG…we do not use plain Tussin.
Instead of cold/flu medicines…we prefer Tylenol Cold (Equate brand is great)
We use very little diaper rash ointment in our clinic,so this is not a priority item.
Thanks! We are looking forward to the team’s arrival!
Anna,
I made the changes to the blog and forwarded the info on to be changed in print materials. Looking forward to seeing you guys!
