My First 6 Months

I just wanted to thank everyone for the support over the last six months. I know you have been praying for me and that means so much. It has been nice to be back in Colorado the last two weeks and be with my family for the holidays. I am so excited to return to the Dominican Republic for another six months in just one week. There are many events coming up in the next stretch and I am so excited to share with you as they happen.

So much happened in my first six months it is hard to share it all. I have created a short video which I posted on youtube that shows a little bit of what has been happening in the Dominican Republic. Here is the link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xJKHT46soI&context=C3917e81ADOEgsToPDskKP3l4B2Ep6gDJ2s0dY0OXC

Here are some of the highlights from the video:

1. With the help from people in the US we were able to construct a Haitian school where about 30 kids are now able to receive and education.

2. There is a new section under construction on the Rails church where they will have classrooms for Sunday school and an after-school program. There will also be a kitchen where they can cook for the kids.

3. Centro Manantial de Vida (Springs of Life Center) church was started and average 50 people each Sunday. I have had the opportunity to preach there once and the pastor wants me to preach again.

4. At La Vega Christian School I have helped teach English to 5th-10th graders. 

5. One Way Ministries is the youth group I started with two friends. We have about 15-30 youth that show up each Friday night. One of the nights we had 12 youth accept Christ! I have been able to preach here twice in Spanish!

6. There was a group from Unlimited Potential Ministries that put on a baseball camp. Over 400 kids came out that day and 72 accepted Christ! In January we are starting a ministry for those kids.

It has been so exciting to see God working the last six months, and I am excited to see what God has planned for the next six months. Thank you all again for your support and prayers. I hope your Christmas season has been blessed and that you have a blessed new year!
