New Project Coming Up
Well, I have had my few days of rest and now am immersed once again with an abundance of ministry projects. I have been praying for some time for Hannah and Brittanny, two young ladies from New England, who are coming to stay with me for a week. They were here in February with the Quest Youth mission team. They arrive Sunday!
One project I have been thinking of and praying about is to faciliate a Dominican youth mission movement. We receive mission groups all the time from the States and I believe the Dominican youth who receive these groups are ready to do some “going” of their own. So with Brittany and Hannah here to help us, it looks like a group of 10-12 youth will head to Nagua next Wednesday to work with our IMB missionaries John and Barbara Randolph.
Please be in prayer for Francisco (youth director) as he gets his group prepared to go. It sounds like there are some resistant youth to deal with in the area we will be but our “rapsters” are pretty cool and have a powerful message- join us in praying that the youth of “Calle Clara” will be open to the message of God’s love and plan for their lives. We will be in Nagua, about 2.5 hours from Santiago, on the north coast, working in a rural area. I am not even sure what to expect so it will certainly be a missions adventure.
Pray also that this experience for Francisco and his youth group will be a spark that ignites a hunger among Dominican youth to be involved in missions. I appreciate special gifts that are helping to cover the cost of transportation (our very own mission van) and food. Sleeping on the Randolph’s floor and Barbara’s offer to prepare food for us in her home are keeping the costs way down.
