Thank you for your continued prayers and for your support. God has truly provided our needs during our stay here in the U.S., and given us the blessing of fellowship with like-minded believers.

In Jefferson, GA, we are continuing to serve through music in Primera Iglesia Bautista Hispana.  The town of Jefferson and surrounding areas has a large Hispanic population. Aside from music ministry within the church, God has placed it on our hearts to go out, share the Gospel, and invite Hispanics in the Jefferson area to the church, where they will hear a clear presentation of the Gospel. Please join with us in prayer as we plan and map out this part of the ministry. Acts 1:8 says, “...and ye shall be witnesses unto me in Jerusalem, and in all of Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” We give thanks to God that He has given us opportunities to minister while here in my “Jerusalem.”

Things are moving along with our paperwork, and we have an appointment in a government office on March 29. Please continue to pray that all of this will come to a close quickly and efficiently. In faith, we are beginning to plan our packing, and continue to prepare ourselves for the ministry in the Dominican Republic.

Waiting and Serving

As we wait for all the paperwork to go through in order to return to the Dominican Republic, we are amazed at God's provision and leading. Even as we wait and equip ourselves to improve the ministry we have in the Dominican Republic, God has given us a ministry opportunity for the duration of our time here in Georgia. Over the last month and a half, we have become involved with a recently planted Hispanic church, which had a need for musicians. We are currently giving music classes there to both children and youth and taking the opportunity to share the Gospel with those attending the classes who have not yet received Christ as their personal Savior. 

Once back in the Dominican Republic, we will be sent out as home missionaries in the D.R. by Quisqueyana Baptist Church, which is involved in evangelism and church planting.  As of now, the ministry at Fountain of Life School will continue, as will private music lessons. The church ministry will involve classes for young people in the church, as well as going out to minister in other churches. As always, our goal will be to fulfill the Great Commission through music. Quisqueyana Baptist Church is located in the city of Villa Mella, on the outskirts of Santo Domingo. The church is surrounded by sin, ignorance, and poverty, by people with spiritual and physical needs. Fountain of Life School, located just a few miles away, shares many of the same needs. Through music, we re able to reach out to many of these people with the Gospel.

Thank you for your faithful prayers and support. Please pray that our paperwork would be completed in a timely manner, and please continue to pray for our ministry. We are at this moment looking specifically for a cello to take back with us to the D.R.  As mentioned, our sending church is changing, but support can still be sent through Crooked Creek Baptist Church.  

Isaiah 40:31 says, "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength..."  

We thank the Lord for this opportunity we have here to wait on Him for all things as He renews our strength.
