3rd day in the D.R.

It has been a great day of ministry. VBS went very well today. This morning there were about 90 kids. This afternoon there were over 100 kids. The gospel presentation was delivered this afternoon, and God saved 7 kids and one mother. Praise the Lord. The ladies are doing a wonderful job teaching these children.

The construction went well today. The pipes are almost complete for the bathrooms. All of the blocks have been delivered for the walls around the bathroom. The men worked extremely hard today moving blocks, debris, and other materials. The Lord has blessed us with strength and good health. Thank you for praying for our strength.

We have been having devotions each evening and sharing from the day. It has been a joy listening to how God is working in each person´s life.

You can pray for continued strength for the guys as they complete the construction projects. You can also pray for the ladies as they teach kids about the love of Jesus Christ. We look forward to sharing with you in more detail when we return.

Serving the Lord with you.

How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings.( Psalms 36:7 *NIV )

You are very important to God! He loves you more than written words can say. This poem states it much better than I. It is titled:

The U in JesUs

Before U were thought of or time had begun,

God even stuck U in the name of His Son.

And each time U pray, you'll see it's true.

You can't spell out JesUs and not include U.

You're a pretty big part of His wonderful name,

For U, He was born; that's why He came.

And His great love for U is the reason He died.

It even takes U to spell crUcified.

Isn't it thrilling and splendidly grand,

He rose from the dead, with U in His plan?

The stones split away, the gold trUmpet blew,and this word resUrrection is spelled with a U.

When JesUs left earth at His Upward ascension,

He felt there was one thing He just had to mention.

"Go into the world and tell them it's true,

That I love them all - Just like I love U."

So many great people are spelled with a U,

Don't they have a right to know JesUs too?

It all depends now on what U will do,

He'd like them to know, But it all starts with U.

Why not tell others about His Great Love, and share with them all He has done for "U" as well. For; I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent. ( Luke 15:7 )

Amen.

Bless each of you as serve Him in the DR. Our prayer is for each of you and the glory of God you are sharing with the people in that country.

In Christ,
