Next on God's agenda in the Haitian community is a source of fresh water, which can be made possible via a connection we recently made at the Santuario (a church in San Pedro). Our friends here have a water purification ministry and seem eager to help us in the community. Please pray that this ministry will take off! What a blessing it would be to this community if DOMINICANS help provide them with water at 1/2 the price they are paying now!
A few days ago, all of us missionaries paired off to pray for one another. In just 6 minutes, my prayer partner covered my most pressing needs---BATHING them in prayer! I thought, "WOW, if I even had a few people to pray for FIVE minutes everyday, my whole time here in the DR would be dramatically different than if I DIDN'T have people praying!" SO--- I want to do MY part to write my specific needs, and you, do YOURS!
Current prayer needs: -For PROTECTION when we drive..that we never get in an accident, nor even witness one, as that would be bad news for us. -For Mita (a Haitian woman) and her family. For the complete healing of her husband, who has been throwing up blood for 5 years. -For creativity and guidance from God as Joe and I plan a makeshift youth mission trip program for next week! For planning talks, outreach and activities. -For health, cool breezes, and mosquito eaters! :)
Now that the retreat is over, it's just two and a half months until Joe and I move to the Dominican Republic!Please pray for us as we prepare!
This includes (but is NOT limited to): 1. Making the most of the time we have left with our friends and family nearby. 2. Finding good plane tickets AND health insurance. 3. Raising financial support. Thanks so much!
