Today was our last team meeting at the farm. Currently we have 10 members confirmed for this trip and 7 were able to attend this morning. We went through final suggestions, needs and a tentative itinerary. Many questions were answered. There isn't a specific focus of this year's trip except to spread the love and gospel of our Lord Jesus. We will be financing and helping with building projects (a church in particular), preaching in the prisons and schools, passing out gospel tracts, taking part in worship services, supplying hundreds of bibles and food packages to local churches and of course showing the Jesus Film every night.
As we know our Dominican friends are in prayer for our arrival we also ask for prayers from our supporters in the U.S. Specifically prayers of safety, health, protection (physical, mental, and spiritual) and the ability to have open hearts and minds to do God's will in Azua.
Prayer is our first request, but any form of mission work also requires financial support. Our team is 100% self-funded which means all monies are raised by individual team members. This also means that 100% of donated funds goes directly to our projects in the DR. A lot can be done in the DR with American money (a hardcover bible is $3, a new church is $12,000). If you feel called, tax deductible donations may be made prior to February 15 through Zion Lutheran Church, 8378 County Rd. W, Greenleaf, WI 54126 (attn. DR trip).
Until February 24, God Bless!
