Disciples Making Disciples

Discipleship is a cornerstone of the Foursquare church in the Dominican Republic. This past month 80 pastors and leaders attended our Foursquare DR National Convention, where our former supervisors for the Caribbean, Dave and Nancy Stone, were the guest speakers. A few weeks before that, we hosted Grace Covenant Church from North Carolina, and they launched a discipleship program for the pastors with ongoing material for them to continue. The Pastors are truly hungry for more of HIM.  God has been speaking to our hearts and growing our vision for ministry here in the Dominican Republic. We will be working to establish small groups to build more leaders and encourage them to use their gifting to grow His work.

Fruit that Remains...

In Haiti, we worked very closely with Mr. Michel at Ruuska Village. He was in Santo Domingo recently and could stop by for a visit. Aleah burst into tears of joy to see him after 1.5 years. He was newly ordained in his church and was excited to tell us about continuing to work through relationships we had established with other missionaries. Pastor Michel is also using the carpentry skills that he learned from Matt to build a chicken coop that will house baby chicks that he will be receiving soon from some of our other missionary friends in Haiti.

Spanish Classes Level 2, began in March!  

We are becoming more comfortable with basic conversations and have enjoyed building relationships with our neighbors as we settle into our new home and neighborhood. Our kids enjoy learning Spanish too, and Blake loves to chat with people and ask their names and if they speak English.
