Family and Friends,
This upcoming summer, I get to be a part of the Dominican Republic Missions Team for another trip! It has been such a blessing and joy to be a member of our missions teams and it has only been made possible by our partners and supporters like YOU! This summer, I have the privilege to return to the Dominican Republic again for the seventh time. For the past six years, I have been able to be used by God in the mission field and I believe that He has called me to that place to serve him. Through those times, I have been able to see and experience all that God has in store for His people and I believe that He is calling me to be His hands and feet to do His work. He has called me to declare His glory to places that desperately need to know the good news. We have been able to develop and grow solid relationships with many members of the church and individuals within the community of Los Alcarizos. This summer, our team will be able to continue our work with the Dominican church from June 19th-28th.
As the dates grow closer, our team has been preparing through weekly trainings and daily devotions. We prepare to go on missions because we truly want to as much as we can do during our short time there but we also understand that we “can do all things through Christ” (Philippians 4:13). In the Dominican Republic, we will be involved in helping the local church reach to the community through outreaches, evangelism, prayer ministry, and revival meetings. We prepare to communicate God’s love through skits, messages, body worship, and crafts. If you would like to get a more visual idea on what we will be doing in the Dominican Republic, we have a Youtube channel “Harvest Ministry” where you can see all thing things that we have been doing in the past few years.
In the bible, we see that Paul is the model missionary. He supported himself by working as a tent maker and while he was on missions, other members supported him to spread the word. They did so by prayer as well as financially. During the past year, I have been blessed to work for the Orlando City Soccer Club to help reach this goal. For this trip, each member needs to raise around 1000 dollars for the Dominican Republic and I need your help! If you are able to support financially, you can do so online at www.donate.harvestkpco.org or by mailing checks to 16796 E. Davenport Road, Winter Garden FL 34787. Please make checks written out to Harvest with my name in the memo and all support can be tax deductible. You can show your help through partnership of our team not only financially but also through prayer. In these past years I learned that our times there help so much more when we have prayers hovering over us, not only by ourselves but more importantly from our supporters.
Prayer Requests:
- Preparation for the trips: Preparing spiritually and physically.
- The relationships in our team: To grow as a team and family
- Safety: To be safe on the mission field and for the team’s health
- To love Jesus more than anything and anyone
- To use our skills and gifts for the glory of God
“I can do all this through Him who gives me strength” - Philippians 4:13
Thank you,
For partnering with me during this time
