In the Summer of 2007 I ventured outside of the United States on what was my first international mission trip (second mission trip ever). I knew that the experience would be a pivotal turning point in my life and most importantly my faith in God.
For a little over a week I was exposed to some of the worst poverty that exists in the world today. Someone had told me that although it was considered the "third world," that in all reality classifying the "sixth world" might not even accurately describe the regions economic situation.
It was on this mission to the Dominican Republic that I became acquainted with the Jimani Project and witnessed the progress it was making in the lives of those it reached. It was in this often forgotten and overlooked region of the world that I realized what was important in life and never forgetting the experiences I had or the friends I had made.
Less than a week after arriving home, there was no doubt in my mind that I would be going back... because My Heart is in Jimani...
