Check Facebook<\/a><\/em> &\/or Instagram<\/a><\/em> tonight for this week’s reading list from the New Testament.\u00a0 We’d love to have you join us on this journey!<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are excited to share the ⬆️\u00a0above project with you!\u00a0 We have participated in a similar group in Spanish here in Jarabacoa each year since 2014 & it has been such a blessing to our lives!\u00a0 Last year the Lord placed on Elizabeth’s heart to do a similar group in English.\u00a0 Here is the birth of that dream which for many months a team of American, Canadian & Dominican brothers & sisters have come alongside to help bring to life.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

As we continue to serve\u00a0as part of the pastoral team at Amor a Quisqueya, Elizabeth also began in December of 2021 to serve at the Christian school, Doulos Discovery, where Amelia, Jonas & Eliot\u00a0attend.\u00a0 God opened the door there as a source of helping to supplement our income.\u00a0 She is serving this year as High School Teaching Assistant, proctoring online math classes, substituting, translating, & many different ways which the Lord is opening to build relationships with students, staff & families.\u00a0 As pastors, every day also brings different challenges & tasks ranging from: discipling new believers, administrative tasks, leading prayer & worship, pastoral counseling, visiting the sick & mentoring (among other things).\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

PRAYER REQUESTS:\u00a0<\/em>
November 2, 2021\u00a0Leo’s father<\/u> was also operated on to remove a polyp from his larynx which resulted in the diagnosis of\u00a0Stage III Throat Cancer<\/u>.\u00a0 Rafael (Siro)<\/u>\u00a0underwent 7 weeks of chemotherapy and daily radiation.\u00a0 Oncologists & treatment is an hour away in Santiago, so there have been many long days, especially for Leo & his dad.\u00a0 Post chemo & radiation he underwent a slew of tests including a PET Scan in Santo Domingo.\u00a0 There was an area of concern in a bone on his PET Scan, possibly consistent with metastasis.\u00a0 He saw the oncologist last Monday (Mar. 28) & is currently doing more tests to have a bone biopsy & further study of the area (iliac bone).\u00a0We continue to pray for COMPLETE HEALING, health, protection & provision!<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition to our monthly budget needs, we are praying for a 7-Passenger Vehicle for family & ministry use<\/u>.\u00a0 We currently have one 5-passenger vehicle (which these days tends to be going to & from the cancer center in Santiago leaving Elizabeth & the kids on foot).\u00a0 For years we have been praying for a second vehicle and we pray that the time for this dream to be a reality would be now.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

We sincerely thank you for your partnership with us in what God is doing in & through us in the DR.\u00a0 We thank the Lord every time we remember each of you!<\/strong><\/p>\n
