A Child's Eyes

My husband, youngest daughter, and two adult sons decided to visit Dove Missions on a recent trip to Puerto Plata and our lives will be forever changed. We had the priviledge of getting to know many of the boys and girls who are part of Dove Missions and even though there was a language barrier their eyes said it all. These children, who have suffered more than any human being should ever have to suffer, had a light in their eyes and smiles on their faces - they had hope. This hope is because of the work that Liz, Kathy, and Melissa are doing in their lives. Liz reminded us of Mother Theresa - giving selflessly to the innocent children and families. The love that these children are receiving because of these women touched our family and we are forever grateful. If you have the opportunity to financially support this ministry I would not hesitate. If you have the chance to visit them get ready to experience poverty like you have never seen but your bucket will be filled up with the love coming from the children! Thank you Liz, Kathy and Melissa for sharing your hearts and vision with us. We are forever grateful.
Love, Roy, Trudy, Abby, Alex and Sam, Lake Oswego, OR
