We are here!

Good Afternoon,

We arrived at the hotel last night around 11:00 so you can imagine how tired everyone was. The hotel is very nice. It even has AC!!! Thank you Lord for the AC! It is pretty warm and humid here.

We had a chance to meet with Rodney and Sharon Coleman, IMB Missionaries, this morning. They shared their vision for the D.R. They have a passion to start many churches in the southern part of the country which is where we are located. It was a joy to see our missionaries serving the Lord Jesus Christ.

After breakfast, we drove by the construction site. They have completed quite a lot of work so far. They are ready for us to pour the concrete roof on Monday. We may be finished with our construction task by Tuesday, and we are praying about opportunities for the rest of the week.

After the construction site visit, we went to worship with the church. It was a joy to worship with our Dominican brothers and sisters. There is a young lady (probably 10 or so) who was leading the songs. One could tell she loves the Lord as she sings. There was a visiting pastor from CA who preached, and he shared from Acts 1:8 and 8:4-8.

After worship, we went on a prayer walk of the community and also distributed information concerning worship tonight and VBS during the week. Our team was divided up with two Dominicans, a translator, and us. God blessed us as we met people in the community. Our lunch was at the pastor's house. It was great food.

Everyone is back at the hotel resting for this evening. We will be leading in worship this evening. We will sing some songs, the puppeteers will lead, Nicole will sing a solo, David Bish will do a testimony, and I will preach. On Monday, we begin construction and VBS.

Thanks for your prayers and keep checking the blog.
