Yesterday I asked for people to get in touch with me if they’d like to donate an acoustic guitar to the orphanage that we support in the Dominican Republic. I’ll be traveling there next week with my daughter and a group of very excited graduating senior girls. It’s one of the highlights of our year, to be honest. We get to love on some boys and girls who live in the Rose of Sharon Orphanage.
A couple of years ago I took my acoustic guitar down with me. We knew that they liked to sing, but we didn’t know that some of them would be so musically inclined! They have church there every Sunday, and the boys get to help lead worship. One of the boys has even started writing original worship songs. At some point in the day while we’re there, we’ll take a break, find some shade, and start singing a mix of Spanish and English worship songs. It’s a beautiful thing…
So far 2 people have responded to my request, telling me that they’ve dug the long-neglected acoustic guitar out of the closet and would love to put it in the hands of some budding worshiper in the Dominican Republic. If you’d like to join that elite group, please let me know. Thanks to Eric Hart and the Lenze family for your generosity. I shouldn’t be surprised at the radical generosity of the people God has put in my life, so let’s just say that I’m well-pleased! We’ll try to get some video of the guitars in action!
Now we just have to figure out how to get those instruments there safely. Let’s pray that it doesn’t go like this (but for the record, we are flying Continental!)
