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.
I will be praying for you as you continue your ministry. What a blessing the two of you are. Thanks so much for the CD you gave to all of us who witnessed your wedding!

Rebecca, I am sooooo happy to have found where you are posting now. I talked to your mom at the revival at Crooked Creek last week and she told me where to go. I am always praying for you and Abel. Thank you again for asking me to your wedding. I love seeing you so in love and being so loved.
