Reflection on Serving By A Holy Child Volunteer

By Gabby Mejia

Holy Child Volunteer

Batey Lecheria, Dominican Republic

I have been serving as a missionary in the Dominican Republic for about 8 months. It has been an incredibly humbling, challenging, adventurous, overwhelming, crazy time. I’ve learned a lot about myself, about this culture, but most importantly, I have deepened my relationship with Christ by serving His people.

This experience has not been how I thought it would be, in reality, it has been better. I thank God every day for calling me here and for trusting me enough to serve His people in this way.

I found out I would be moving to the Dominican Republic in February of last year.
