PTS students travel all over the world each summer-for
field education, student exchanges, and mission or volunteer work. Last
summer, after finishing our first M.Div. year, five of us joined 31 others
(ages 10-65) from Presbyterian Church (USA) churches in New Jersey and
Washington, D.C. on a two-week mission trip to the Dominican Republic. We
worked with two local congregations in the capital city of Santo
Domingo-Barrio Maria and Barrio Tres Brazos. The churches were social
outreach-oriented Pentecostal churches located in poor communities that
served the poor. Though our team came from a very different place and
culture than the Dominicans, our faith in Christ brought us together as we
worked side-by-side for long hours and worshiped together. And though we
went to serve, we all left the island having been deeply ministered to.
