Who we are

We live in the Dominican Republic and work with Young Life International. Jake works at Pico Escondido, a Young Life camp that serves Dominicans in this country as well as work teams from the states. We are both currently volunteers with Vida Joven, YL in Spanish, and I (Kyla) am a full-time mom. We want to keep you informed about our lives and our ministry as well as share some encouragement along the way. Read more to find out what God has been doing in our lives!

Dominican Republic Pics

Kyla and I spent Spring Break near the town of Jarabacoa in the Dominican Republic at Pico Escondido, a nearly completed camp owned by YoungLife. If you're not sure who YoungLife is, check out www.younglife.org. We joined a work team from Georgia, so our job was to do construction projects as the camp is still far from complete. Here we all are.


In addition to working, we were also there to look into the Work Team Coordinator postion that will soon be open. YoungLife is looking for someone to manage the logistics for work teams coming down from the states, helping construct what remains to be done at the camp. There is already awesome ministry going on at camp; however it has potential for much, much more. Here is the view from the main lodge at camp.


There are some incredible people down there already, working with the Dominicans and the North American teams that come down. Here are a few of them.


This picture was taken at Doulos Discovery School, one of the many amazing ministries in Jarabacoa.
