July / August 2011

Sensational Summer!

Summertime back in the US can be a wonderful time filled with ball games, BBQ’s, and ice cold lemonade!  We also have had a wonderful summer serving our Lord here in the DR.  We are happy to report to you many highlights of the summer: our Sunday School ministry has grown numerically and spiritually; six people were baptized demonstrating their faith in Christ;  our VBS attendance doubled this year, and we saw many young people make a profession of faith;  a church group from WV came and helped us prepare for our anniversary service through tract distribution and children’s ministry; and praise the Lord, we even had our first young man surrender to preach!  So much is happening here, and we wanted to share it with you.  We would like to thank you for partnering with us to bring the light of the Gospel here to the Dominican.  Hope you have had a sensational summer too!

2 years of blessings..
It’s hard to believe that Iglesia Bautista La Verdad is already two years old! On August 7th we celebrated our anniversary with our largest adult crowd.  Pastor Pedro da Cunha, a Baptist pastor from the capital, came and gave a stirring Gospel message. We praise the Lord for many first time visitors, and many who showed interest in the church. Please pray for Milagros, a lady visitor who is very interested in the Gospel, but has yet to make a decision for Christ. We believe God has much more in store for IBV and we look forward to many more wonderful years

Please pray for:  souls saved and discipled, our new baby due January 29th, Bible Institute plans, and a short October furlough.
