The Foursquare Denomination celebrated 100 years at the Foursquare Annual CONNECTION in Anaheim, CA. When people ask us, “What is Foursquare?” we answer, “We love Jesus and believe in him.” And that was very apparent the week of Jesus’ celebration. We were honored to be able to attend this refreshing time of connection. Pastors, National Leaders, and missionary workers gathered from all over the world with one purpose in mind, to advance the Kingdom of God. A huge thank you to Life Fellowship for helping us make it possible for our Dominican National Leader, Pastor Juan Carlos, to attend also.
For us, CONNECTION is an important time to step off the field for a week and spend time in the presence of God, worship Him, seek His direction and vision for our ministry, and connect with dear friends/pastors and those on our ministry support team. One of the speakers shared about “starting over,” which spoke to us. As we have entered a new season of ministry in a new country, a new home, and a new culture, it is time for us to start over. God has given us fresh vision, purpose, and direction for His heart toward His people on the island of Hispaniola.
Worship in the Park:
4 years ago, God placed it upon Matt’s heart to do a daily worship and devotional time in a public area. Due to Haiti’s insecurity, we could not start this outside our compound. But now, “starting over” in the Dominican Republic, there is a public park a couple of blocks from our house that we have started visiting each morning during the weekdays. We offer a time of prayer, worship, and a devotional to anyone who stops by. Please pray into our vision as we walk out what has been placed inside us.
