"And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord...." (Colossians 3:23)
The last week took a new turn for Music of the Heart Ministry; when the majority of the Dzimianski family left for their annual homeschooling conference in Texas, the goats on the farm stated that they would NOT fast or take a week's vacation from producing milk. So it was that Abel De La Cruz got dragged into Rebecca De La Cruz's former life of milking goats and feeding dogs, horses, and cows. Is has been an opportunity to do "whatever" "as to the Lord," not just do the things we like as to the Lord!
In the midst of ministering to the goats & cows (and thus to our family), we have been working to record an instrumental CD. Over the last two weeks, we have been able to record 10 out of 12 hymns on cello and piano, albeit with many difficulties due to problems with old software. We feel that these recordings could be a blessing to many people, and with the goal of being able to make more recordings in the future have begun to look for quality recording software. Our Lord deserves our very best. Please pray with us about this aspect of our ministry. We need three programs to take a recording from start to finish, which together would cost around $600 with the educator's discount.
Thank you again for your faithful prayers and support. We value your prayers above anything else, knowing that the "prayers of the righteous availeth much."

"Ask, and it shall be given you..."
"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened." Matthew 7:7-8
The end of March and beginning of April has been a time of blessing and answered prayer. We have had the opportunity to share our ministry with several individuals, a church, and with the music students at a Christian college. As we ministered with music and communicated our burden for the children and youth in the Dominican Republic, God touched hearts to donate instruments or support the ministry financially. Through the gift of Homer Methodist Church, we were able to buy a much-prayed for cello and meet a Baptist pastor in the process. We have received several other instruments from church members who want to help us reach out to children with the Gospel through the gift of music.
On the paperwork processing front, everything appears to be going smoothly and we hope to be finishing this process very soon.
Our prayer list at this time is:
- The continuation of the ministry both here and in the DR
- Completing paperwork
- Continued provision financially and of instruments.
Thank you for your faithful prayers!
