The Timothy Project

For many months I have been trying to figure out how to change my blog url.  While I have worked with the Macedonia Project in the past, I have for several years been working in the Timothy Project, sort of an outgrowth of what I was doing several years ago. The Macedonia Project continues to exist, it is the mission strategy of the Dominican Baptist Convention and whenever possible, I support what they are doing. My assignment from the IMB is more specific, planting churches among the urban poor of the Cibao Region, which has led me to continue with what we started, focusing on training leaders who in turn will train leaders, resulting in multiple new churches.

All that to say, I have a new blog! marshadavidson.blog.com  Please visit me there- I will be monitoring both sites- I don’t want to lose any of you. I have added some new features to the other blog and my hope is that in the coming year, it will serve as a prayer guide as well as an instrument for reflective thinking on how to live out the Great Commission where ever we might be.

Well, 2007 is underway! Things here are still quiet. This Saturday is King’s Day; in some parts of the country this is the big celebration when the children receive their presents, etc. Not so in Santiago but still we are on holiday. The kids don’t go back to school until next Monday, the free zone factories are closed which means a significant portion of the population is on vacation still. So, we are off and running in the new year, but still at half power so to speak!

My nephews left this morning. It was a great time to see them and do some exploring. The motorcycle trip New Year’s Day was really something- we went way out in the campos, where I had never been before. The scenery was fabulous. Those of you who have been here can imagine the driving conditions. The bikes we rented were not in the best of condition- the brakes were a little shaky as were the clutches but it just added to the flavor of the event.  Needless to say, I was very much relieved when we arrived home with no injuries!

My mom got out of the hospital New Year’s Day for which we are thankful. I think she is still not feeling 100% but thrilled to be home at least. Thanks for praying for her.

So, now it is time to get to work on all those New Year’s Resolutions! I haven’t quite finished my list so I will be working on that in the next few days. I hope all of you have taken some time to reflect on God’s goodness and His plan for your lives, and will take whatever action you need to in order to make your hopes and dreams a reality in this coming year.
