The past few months have been full of growth, discipleship, and relationships. February ended with a visit from our beloved friends, Kelly and Ellen Cupples. Then, we assisted in our first NextGen Leaders Gathering in March with a visit from our newly appointed Caribbean NextGen Coordinator, Elizabeth Chinn. They discussed together what Discipleship, Equipping, and Empowerment of the youth and children in our churches looked like. And, of course, no gathering of Youth Leaders is complete without a few fun games thrown in there to liven it up!
BUILDING HIS CHURCH
Our churches have been going through a program called Discipleship & Leadership Training (D.L.T) for ten weeks. Each church gathers separately on Wednesday evenings in their churches for training via Zoom hosted by Pastor Giovanni of Grace Covenant Church in North Carolina. We serve this ministry by assisting some of our pastors in Santo Domingo so that their churches can also be involved in the trainings. On the 11th week, Pastor Giovanni and his team visit in person to do an intense all-day training that completes the first three months. The entire program is nine months long and will be finished in September. The churches are hungry for this and embrace every aspect of it. We trust leaders will be raised as this biblically solid foundation is laid, and HIS church and Kingdom will expand.
