God bless you A LOT!

It's been awhile since publishing due to ministry being in full swing! These events will be out of chronological order.  Bless you praying family and friends.  Your prayers are bearing fruit!

Maria, our translator is a blessing to us.  She greets us and says goodbye to us with her laughing sing song voice "God bless you A LOT! We pick her up at La Bomba gas station and we squish all 6 into our little car Dominican style!  At least we don't have 3 or 4 hanging off the sides!

Pray for Maria since this dynamic woman lives in constant knowledge and gratitude of God's goodness, mercy and grace!  Look at her smile!

Ben and Nicholas making pews up in the Villa Paraiso wood working shop for the Nazareth church Dedication next week! Our hope is that we will bring and train 1 or 2 men from Esperanza here to make the bookshelves for Luckny's Library. He wants it as a place to learn and teach English to the young men of the village.   Pray God will clear the way for the proper building to be used.  Luckny's heart is that there be no conflict amongst the men of Esperanza during the decision making process.  He is a man of  peace, wisdom, leadership and integrity.

Mike was asked to speak at Bill Stephenson's Discipleship Training Centre.  Most likely, this will be the venue of the Alpha Conference.  Pray for logistics and that we'll get the material translated in time in Creole so we can put this valuable teaching in the hands of 40-80 pastors and leaders!

Pray for Dudu who has already led the youth Alpha in Creole Villa Ascension under Rachel guidance.  We hope she'll say a few words at the Alpha Conference.  We meet with Rachel and Gideon to discuss conference tomorrow night.  They're on board!
