Life Lessons From Batey 7: A Father-Daughter Mission Trip to the Dominican Republic
My daughter and I traveled to Batey 7 in the Dominican Republic, a small village near the Haitian border where families live with very little—scarce electricity, shared water, and simple homes. Despite the poverty, the children overflowed with joy, and their faith was strong and genuine. Serving together changed both of us, teaching us that true happiness comes from relationships, gratitude, and trust in God. It was a life-changing experience we will never forget.
