We are home safe and sound! Thank you for sending us out to minster in Christ and for all for your prayers, support and encouragement. The retreat up in Jarabacoa was a tremendous success, people were drawn closer to God, and closer to one another during this time up on the mountain. The Lord answered your prayers in several ways:

• It was obvious that God worked in hearts of our brothers and sisters at Vida Nueva during our time together in the Word. Aching hearts were encouraged. Lives were changed. The Lord really did bless the preaching and teaching of His Word by the power of His Spirit.
• The Lord brought us up the mountain safely. He brought us down the mountain safely and then even flew us home safely.
• All the needed supplies for all the children’s activities made it up the mountain along with the whiteboards for teaching and song sheets for singing.
• Andrew and Adrian did a beautiful job leading our singing in Spanish along with Gregorio from Vida Nueva.
• The children’s teaching times and activities were well carried out by our team and well-received by the kids.
• Lastly, the Lord kept all of us FAT – flexible, adaptable and teachable during the entire time away.

We look forward to giving a more thorough update and praise during our morning worship service in the next few weeks. In the mean time, enjoy the pictures below. Thank you again for being a key part of our ministry in the DR by keeping us before the Father in prayer.
