Bring them in!
Luke 14:23- “And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.”
For many months now we have been seeking to purchase a van for the church. Many of those who attend are very poor and paying for a taxi to travel across town is very expensive. Also, we needed a van for hosting groups from the US during the summers. A number of months back we received about 2/3 of the needed funds from an extremely generous man from the States. After 6 months of investigating and saving, the church was able to purchase a 15 passenger 2006 Ford van. In just one short month it has been amazing to see how God has already blessed the bus route. We have seen not only a boost in attendance but an increased enthusiasm with the other church members as we seek to reach more for Christ.
Notes from Navidad
The Christmas holidays are always a special time of year for us here in the DR. This year we had a beautiful banquet, in which over 75 people attended. Many of these were first time visitors who came and heard Erik give a message entitled “The Greatest Gift for Christmas, Jesus.” Also, we had a children’s nativity drama which was directed by Holly. The kids dressed up as Mary, Joseph, shepherds, angels, 2 sheep and a donkey! They delivered a wonderful performance! This drama allowed us the opportunity to share the Gospel with unsaved parents who do not regularly attend our church. Please pray for fruit from these outreaches.
Prayer Requests:
-Growth of the bus route
-Family health and safety
-Discipleship classes
Happy New Year!!!
