As you can see, she was struggling a little bit. She showed up in tears and after a few hugs she seemed okay, but didn’t really want to talk about what was going on. She hadn’t been able to make it on the days we had big group time. We just let her know that we cared, that we are praying for her, and so thankful for the opportunity that we have to be a small part of her life through the sponsorship program. When you have time, if she comes to your mind, say a prayer for Darianny</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgwE8rTVrVn1M8XFNH9b1P-3EpsEfW2Exb36uC5W4TdV-bo33gFS_ZTuGmE0zox7sVW7Awo7C4YS6KaR7lh0pTck-LXLzL5UXx24xai1F9SaXnm1hqAq6GRjMqkaxjKr_UgD6OtGOVab-AT5LHEYRe-gkOL1JO7EOiY1BUgwDH9iLmCt6dUrOeUCdPZRg=s3088" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3088" data-original-width="2320" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgwE8rTVrVn1M8XFNH9b1P-3EpsEfW2Exb36uC5W4TdV-bo33gFS_ZTuGmE0zox7sVW7Awo7C4YS6KaR7lh0pTck-LXLzL5UXx24xai1F9SaXnm1hqAq6GRjMqkaxjKr_UgD6OtGOVab-AT5LHEYRe-gkOL1JO7EOiY1BUgwDH9iLmCt6dUrOeUCdPZRg=s320" width="240" /></a></div><p>These two guys have been great this week.

We spent some time talking about the authority, clarity, necessity, and sufficiency of scripture. It’s days like this that I am reminded that we have to not just “do” church but we have to “be” the church. I think at times, if we are not careful, we find ourselves just going through the motions of what we would call church. We find ourselves in a routine that becomes stale and stagnant if not passionate about pursuing ALL that He has for us. What is it that He is calling you to? Where is He reveling Himself to you in your life? Are you willing to respond to that revelation?</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjQm5YIazV4qi-welmmMVrlxZ4aLOSBuMBS-XP1Wpxocedz0roXzZkWfVVlK-QraOhPi6qyylPJujXnR-ybpt8j5vXPgJCmu1I5GqgtzSw2Ul0DUd-UpF_iYCO96QdwwdygPRfHdzWRspIV73Te15mQmNZGaQMXHok7IHxFCWlvbYgtXltiVpOWTfG_5w=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjQm5YIazV4qi-welmmMVrlxZ4aLOSBuMBS-XP1Wpxocedz0roXzZkWfVVlK-QraOhPi6qyylPJujXnR-ybpt8j5vXPgJCmu1I5GqgtzSw2Ul0DUd-UpF_iYCO96QdwwdygPRfHdzWRspIV73Te15mQmNZGaQMXHok7IHxFCWlvbYgtXltiVpOWTfG_5w=s320" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><br /><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEio66id9Lw9B3SNEQlWBD_mktfJbQG9Gl64tadXGR_vkwQGoWEd0SzRzti3X7R5Zl3eR_jSlTQzhU892lWw1P0Pxw33aQgU5PyVPHVz0jujt0EqbeB44NoIbC4FIWKfWnzvKPKBYw2-jZ036sq1PXqyq8yu6Js1S6OEXIqLxQPJgBkUqUfEHqrXjtomiw=s3088" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3088" data-original-width="2320" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEio66id9Lw9B3SNEQlWBD_mktfJbQG9Gl64tadXGR_vkwQGoWEd0SzRzti3X7R5Zl3eR_jSlTQzhU892lWw1P0Pxw33aQgU5PyVPHVz0jujt0EqbeB44NoIbC4FIWKfWnzvKPKBYw2-jZ036sq1PXqyq8yu6Js1S6OEXIqLxQPJgBkUqUfEHqrXjtomiw=s320" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">These two men are yet another reason I love coming back to The Dominican Republic.

I remember prayerfully walking through villages asking God to give us a place to invest in vulnerable children, in a way that would show them the love of Christ. My prayer is that these children would know and understand that HE is sufficient in all things. It’s ironic, because I feel like it’s the same thing that we all need to know and understand. If we truly believe that He is sovereign in all things, than why do we allow ourselves NOT to rest in the simple fact that His sovereignty is sufficient for us. He is truly all we need. If He is sufficient, than we don’t have to add anything. We don’t have to try and manipulate events, and or circumstances that we find ourselves in. We can rest knowing that He is ultimately the One who is in control of it all.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here are a few pics of the students that I am pouring into this week during our small group times.

Today was a day that reminded me of the fact that every tribe and every tongue will bring glory to His name.</p><p><i>All the nations you have made shall come and worship before you, O Lord, and shall glorify your name. - Psalm 86:9</i></p><p>There is something to be said about the universal language of music. It draws people together. A song, even in a language you don’t understand, can have an amazing impact on you. I used to travel as a worship leader and retreat speaker and I can honestly say that worship fuels me, feeds me, and refreshes me. I have some amazing memories of leading at camps and retreats when His people unashamedly worshipped. As a family, we are drawn together to worship our Creator for his truth, beauty, and goodness. He has always been, and will always be the constant for us. I realize that most of us equate worship to singing songs of praise and adoration, but it is so much more than that. It is literally a lifestyle that we are called to have.</p><p><i>But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. - John 4:23</i></p><p>The understanding that I have is that to be a true worshipper, you must worship in spirit and truth. So apart from the spirit, it is impossible to be a true worshipper. This also leads us to believe that apart from the truth, it is impossible to be a true worshipper. </p><p>Don’t hear me wrong. Don’t neglect that truth that we are all worshippers of something or someone. The question is what are you actually worshipping? Who are you actually worshipping? If it is not the King of kings, through the truth of who Jesus is and the spirit that leads and guides us for His name sake - than you are NOT a true worshipper. At least not the kind that is spoken about in the scriptures. </p><p>Today was just a reassurance of the fact that His children are wired to worship Him. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tHjnGvz6nUs" width="320" youtube-src-id="tHjnGvz6nUs"></iframe></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/AnC3tq-xrNQ" width="320" youtube-src-id="AnC3tq-xrNQ"></iframe></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LNWAWMC6CHs" width="320" youtube-src-id="LNWAWMC6CHs"></iframe></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745728106963709874.post-26769093425118367142020-12-28T14:54:00.000-06:002020-12-28T14:54:46.682-06:00Dominican Republic - 12.28.20<p> Well, I’m sitting here again, in a place that has a big portion of my heart, reflecting on the day so far. We have 27 students involved in our leadership retreat this week, and I am already excited about what HE is doing. This morning as we walked through the gospel I couldn’t help but be encouraged by how that gospel was being shared with clarity. Students, here in the program, who are learning and gleaning truth from the Word are not ashamed to share it. Miguel Angel and Claudio are always willing to share and present the gospel unashamedly to all of their peers. As a matter of act, as we were leaving this afternoon they asked if we were going to continue studying the Bible because they loved it. Those conversations are what makes all of this worth it. I also love the fact that my son, can come in behind the study and put a bow on it with his stories that help drive home the points. It is also very encouraging when the students here are asking where the rest of my family is. Natalie, Meaghan and Kellie (Watson) - please know that you are a blessing to them and that they miss you. </p><p>We then took some time to walk through the village and pray for some of the families that are being supported through the @25project. One of the little girls, who is new to the program, asked that we pray for her Mom who is still in Haiti and for her Dad and step mom who she lives with here in the DR. She told us she wanted to be a doctor. Another precious girl, also new to the program, asked us to pray for her mom’s health and she told us that she wanted to grow up to be a good mom. This was precious to hear out of her mouth. The fact that she desires to be a good mom is wonderful. It reminded me a lot about some of the things we strive to put in front of our students back home. We challenge them to become men of valor and women of virtue. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVMqnrYvGJ4s6rerDnsPjncRQBtEhjU8AI-ZcI6vYdlwmR1ubJIGyPcksO_2qiJv8jWjC1bArwYfHBa056-0LW0g82wmJEIeKp3eNsAatOowf7GATKubHq4V5z3v5NMEUzzJLiuhwyhXyh/s2048/7C69B702-9238-4CC2-94A3-25DC63027939.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVMqnrYvGJ4s6rerDnsPjncRQBtEhjU8AI-ZcI6vYdlwmR1ubJIGyPcksO_2qiJv8jWjC1bArwYfHBa056-0LW0g82wmJEIeKp3eNsAatOowf7GATKubHq4V5z3v5NMEUzzJLiuhwyhXyh/w240-h320/7C69B702-9238-4CC2-94A3-25DC63027939.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj62bTdQnKEnQ4yockoGhaqaiGNE13NPhSnq-IOeBCsqF5GqrOJPdzmyFmiPAhEXCon0VjVSEN9s0Q3K9ewVop8pgeMYf6L5caUdybBLz4qlrkLhAXe8_hMx3UojWYPTUAsV1SWV5VVjoqd/s2048/50FAB14A-1E6C-441D-A6BC-7E16F4FA2300.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj62bTdQnKEnQ4yockoGhaqaiGNE13NPhSnq-IOeBCsqF5GqrOJPdzmyFmiPAhEXCon0VjVSEN9s0Q3K9ewVop8pgeMYf6L5caUdybBLz4qlrkLhAXe8_hMx3UojWYPTUAsV1SWV5VVjoqd/s320/50FAB14A-1E6C-441D-A6BC-7E16F4FA2300.jpeg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHE2zm9mm2HVIxKtwUS8HFyuK4IYb2a5fRW9NcARPQ-hajcJ3rHg3fJNi_IqRw4ahoPF-OLBfZTcdLEOoHo-ro18fN6m03J80QCVUJgmCptnUvLiFg8h7DhdxUv9GmYyOpSbAabdSfEQ26/s2048/99E296D9-5DAD-458E-83E2-F59A2B1D1400.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1539" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHE2zm9mm2HVIxKtwUS8HFyuK4IYb2a5fRW9NcARPQ-hajcJ3rHg3fJNi_IqRw4ahoPF-OLBfZTcdLEOoHo-ro18fN6m03J80QCVUJgmCptnUvLiFg8h7DhdxUv9GmYyOpSbAabdSfEQ26/s320/99E296D9-5DAD-458E-83E2-F59A2B1D1400.jpeg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuPUT8CyMazhUpscpa-Rjo1MZpY7THonGuUrfWC23aO2D6NgdBCN2fOopWVbZT3Ru-Zrzcl0AHVtTl0k261oyIigt2IA1MxBjt86NlJpzvBOYfaAj6wLcG5vnV0tZ3AWLVANbpR2_uM5YI/s2048/996E4882-8C8D-4ABE-9509-65354D1FCD68.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuPUT8CyMazhUpscpa-Rjo1MZpY7THonGuUrfWC23aO2D6NgdBCN2fOopWVbZT3Ru-Zrzcl0AHVtTl0k261oyIigt2IA1MxBjt86NlJpzvBOYfaAj6wLcG5vnV0tZ3AWLVANbpR2_uM5YI/s320/996E4882-8C8D-4ABE-9509-65354D1FCD68.jpeg" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p> </p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745728106963709874.post-77749948250266513092014-10-06T06:33:00.001-05:002014-10-06T06:33:23.918-05:00Puritan Prayer- Devotion<p align="center" style="text-align: start;"><strong style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">God of my end, it is my greatest, noblest pleasure to be acquainted with You and with my rational, immortal soul; it is sweet and entertaining to look into my being when all my powers and passions are united and engaged in pursuit of You, when my soul longs and passionately breathes after conformity to You and the full enjoyment of You; no hours pass away with so much pleasure as those spent in communion with You and with my heart.</strong></p><p><strong style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">O how desirable, how profitable to the Christian life is a spirit of holy watchfulness and godly jealousy over myself when my soul is afraid of nothing except grieving and offending You, the blessed God, my Father and friend, whom I then love and long to please, rather than be happy in myself!

It is Your mercy to afflict and try me with wants, for by these trials I see my sins, and desire severance from them.

Teach me to believe that if ever I would have any sin subdued I must not only labour to overcome it, but must invite Christ to abide in the place of it, and He must become to me more than vile lust had been; that His sweetness, power, life may be there. Thus I must seek a grace from Him contrary to sin, but must not claim it apart from Himself.</strong></p><p><font><strong style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">When I am afraid of evils to come, comfort me by showing me that in myself I am a dying, condemned wretch, but in Christ I am reconciled and live; that in myself I find insufficiency and no rest, but in Christ there is satisfaction and peace; that in myself I am feeble and unable to do good, but in Christ I have ability to do all things. Though now I have His graces in part, I shall shortly have them perfectly in that state where You will show Yourself fully reconciled, and alone sufficient, efficient, loving me completely, with sin abolished.

You see, as a church plant, we have met in many different buildings but never really had one to call our own. We have met in store fronts, and day care centers, and have prayed specifically that one day God would give us a permanent home to meet in. Often times, we haven't been able to do some of the things that we felt The Lord leading us to simply because we didn't have the resources for it. We were in need of a great children's program, a place for youth, and some more people who had a deep passion for the Gospel. Little did we know, He already had a plan in mind.<div>Cornerstone Fellowship, a church in Caddo Mills, had begun praying almost the same prayer for their church about 4 months ago. They too were praying God would do something special in them. They were looking and praying for some new faces to help serve in ministry alongside them.</div><div>Cornerstone has a building and property and an established presence in Caddo Mills, which is exactly half the distance between Royse City and Greenville, where the majority of our church family resides.</div><div>The Lord put together a chance meeting between two pastors of two different churches, who in reality where praying basically the same prayer. Over the past month we have met and prayed together and talked about the possibility of our two churches coming together and becoming one church. I can't begin to tell you the "strength" I see with the possibility of us joining forces.</div><div>There were some things that needed to be discussed and prayed over. After many weeks of prayer and meeting with key leadership from both churches, Cornerstone Fellowship decided that they would vote on a pastoral shift in their church that would put me in the Lead Pastor role and their current pastor would function as the Executive Pastor. </div><div>This morning, Cornerstone Fellowship, by unanimous decision, voted that I would become the Lead Pastor. Gateway Fellowship, will merge with into the fellowship at Cornerstone, and we will begin meeting together as one body of believers next week.</div><div>If you don't have a church home, I would like to invite you to worship with us at Cornerstone Fellowship in Caddo Mills. God is up to something and we are very excited about the future of the church. </div><div><br></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745728106963709874.post-79161935868087826022013-10-17T05:56:00.003-05:002013-10-17T06:00:42.349-05:00Devotion- a Puritan prayer<blockquote style="border-left-color: rgb(102, 102, 102); border-left-style: solid; border-width: 0px 0px 0px 10px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; quotes: none; vertical-align: baseline;">

The worship of God is evoked, informed and inspired by the vision of God. Worship without theology is bound to degenerate into idolatry. Hence the indispensable place of Scripture in both public and private devotion. It is the Word of God which calls forth the worship of God. On the other hand, there should be no theology without doxology. There is something fundamentally flawed about a purely academic interest in God. God is not an appropriate object for cool, critical, detached, scientific observation and evaluation. No, the true knowledge of God will always lead us to worship, as it did Paul. Our place is on our faces before him in adoration....Bishop Handley Moule said at the end of the last [19th] century, we must "beware equally of an undevotional theology and of an untheological devotion."</font></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745728106963709874.post-90335111282784925882013-10-05T14:39:00.001-05:002013-10-05T14:51:06.916-05:00Dominican Recap<div><br></div><div><br></div>This morning as I sat and read The Word, while sipping on fresh brewed Dominican Coffee, I was thankful again for my most recent trip to the Dominican Republic. This trip was another reminder of the fact that He is in control, and He does what He says He will do. While walking through Santa Alicia, feeding the children in school, and chatting with Pastor Bona, I was once again brought to tears about His handiwork. This trip was not only beautiful, but it served as a confirmation and visual reminder of all the many things we have been praying about for years.<div>Through @25projectorg's NameChanger program, these children are being educated daily, have been given a school uniform, are being taught the Word of God, and are given breakfast daily, which might be the only meal they eat that day. All of this is possible because of people, like you, who have sacrificed in order to sponsor a child in the Dominican Republic. These children are Haitian immigrants who are living on sugarcane plantations, which are called bateys. We are so thankful for how The Lord has opened doors for us to minister there.</div><div>For the last several years, I have spent time in Santa Alicia and El Cea praying about all the things that He might have us do there. I am so thankful for @25projectorg and how The Lord has put together and orchestrated all of these things. Once again, an amazing confirmation of all that He is.</div><div>If you would like to get involved with the work that @25projectorg is doing in the Dominican Republic, I would love to talk about it with you. Would you consider coming alongside 25projectorg in order to help change the lives of children living in these bateys.</div><div>Not only is there an ongoing sponsorship program, called NameChangers, in Santa Alicia but we are also starting a breakfast program and sponsorship in El Cea. Why don't you pray about becoming a NameChanger and help us make an impact on the lives of these children. Pray with us for the people in Santa Alicia and El Cea, for Pastor Bona and Pastor Chile', and for our ministry partners there.</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7yeeb6QYGpRzcN2W6S8d4jcztvTqnP7T1XzBQIWKSmorYzlrBKgelcYhHo6QwgdD9wwjUJtB5vBvjHZvdGHwM5MBA4YyXstUqK5udwwPmsggSc1ntvDAlcKffOu8452Wk5UVmnweMyEjL/s640/blogger-image-1821012797.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7yeeb6QYGpRzcN2W6S8d4jcztvTqnP7T1XzBQIWKSmorYzlrBKgelcYhHo6QwgdD9wwjUJtB5vBvjHZvdGHwM5MBA4YyXstUqK5udwwPmsggSc1ntvDAlcKffOu8452Wk5UVmnweMyEjL/s640/blogger-image-1821012797.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEKvvF7yf_-QAwhMSIwHPyKGBg4bNrgAA0-eIgS6Z7DxpnlCBkSsZOShjHRttM-mawH3i9FWl7zxAIEfl5Wg2wTFabb_rXuaMgCcG8sGDPzLmgX2_RslOu7VGl5YdWYiUgr53Ka-AMYaPb/s640/blogger-image--730901859.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEKvvF7yf_-QAwhMSIwHPyKGBg4bNrgAA0-eIgS6Z7DxpnlCBkSsZOShjHRttM-mawH3i9FWl7zxAIEfl5Wg2wTFabb_rXuaMgCcG8sGDPzLmgX2_RslOu7VGl5YdWYiUgr53Ka-AMYaPb/s640/blogger-image--730901859.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEiKD96TgEyFQ1QNFaqv6qgR8NZX5DiE72w-OTp2BNmB76L_qupcI3FF-mDK4S-cL_soBtyDhjMu9PCCQ05QaLu1wHXNHs0spuLmWuL1L4qC7pzTXHikJo-P1PtlUBucrEphPsLyYjjDtM/s640/blogger-image--1052895847.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEiKD96TgEyFQ1QNFaqv6qgR8NZX5DiE72w-OTp2BNmB76L_qupcI3FF-mDK4S-cL_soBtyDhjMu9PCCQ05QaLu1wHXNHs0spuLmWuL1L4qC7pzTXHikJo-P1PtlUBucrEphPsLyYjjDtM/s640/blogger-image--1052895847.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">This is Mariyerlin, she is the little girl that my family sponsors.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
There are children all over the world that desperately need your help. Through the ministry of <a href="http://25project.org/">25project</a>
we are are able to give hope to these children. I am so thankful for
people, like you, who have answered the call to help us bring hope,
through the Gospel, to the "least of these". For the past several years
we have been working strategically in different parts of the world. One
of those places is the Dominican Republic, where we have the opportunity
to work with Haitian refugee children living in bateys. I would love
for you to take a moment and watch the video below. If you have any
questions on how you can get involved, please contact me. <br />

On the way to the capital, Santo Domingo, we stopped at an orphanage called Casa De Luz (house of light). This orphanage is for handicapped children who were at one time just left out on the street or abandoned somewhere. Needless to say, just knowing their story will wreck you. On top of that, the handicaps that many of these children have are very severe and keep most of them immobile. <br />
I had a great time just pushing children around in their wheelchairs am talking to them. They had such beautiful smiles on their faces as we simply just loved on them. We stayed through lunch and we were able to help feed them, which is all together another demanding task.<br />
This orphanage and the people there nearly pulled my heart out of my chest. This is yet another opportunity for u to come alongside a Pastor who is doing a great work and really has little to no funding and is doing a very remarkable ministry. This will be a place that we will continue to work with.<br />
We then headed to the capital for lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe, which sits right across the park from the first church of the Americas, and some quick shopping in the colonial zone. Of course, this task is nothing in comparison to what we were allowed to be a part of at Casa De Luz <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJunOZYBTFog3bbP1kr1l-HEy0j2fcf7MmbJIicJV5NJcC-4-K24NqQO5-UADH70jmMGnvUIzCPpFnTleehYbYZWXfbCa80KVAfH23ErjzVsKbA1uvYzJVr9RrwnrY3p9TxXhoSdiMXwS8/s640/blogger-image-743410775.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

That may not sound exciting, but when I brought a team of 22 last December there were only two bathroom here. Trust me, the new bathroom helps tremendously.<br />
The team from Richmond Road in Texarkana is great. It's such a joy to see Josh, Erica, Chris, Dayna, Bart, Penny, and David responding to the gospel call on their lives to help reach the "least of these". We also have had the privilege of having Karly with us this week. She is an awesome girl who has a beautiful heart for the gospel and missions.<br />
After working on the mission house we headed to El Sueno in Juan Dolio for some pizza. Every time I bring a group to the DR, we eat here. Their pizza is great.<br />
I continue to be amazed at what The Lord is doing here in the DR. I'm so thankful for Julio and Mercy and the partnership we have with them through http://chickenchurch.org and http://25project.org . They are great to work with and are amazing at what they do. They truly are the hands and feet of who we are here.<br />
The work here at the mission house is never really done. We have a huge desire to see as many groups come through here as possible that are partnering with chickenchurch and 25. We need more beds, which we painted today. We need twin size mattresses for those bunk beds and we need to continue painting areas here and there. This house truly has been an answer to a prayer we started praying 2 years ago. HE is good!<br />

The team did a great job singing, and presenting the story of the resurrection. I'm already looking forward to this team from Richmond Road in Texarkana coming back. They are great with the kids. <br />
A couple of us worked on putting together desks and benches that are used in the little school, in this batey. It's always great watching the children become very appreciative of what we are able to do. You can tell that these kids love school and love their teacher. It is sad that many of them will never go to school past the 6th grade.<br />
After working, we spent some time playing baseball with the boys and men while the ladies held babies and played with the Children. It is always fun to watch and participate in a game of Dominican batey baseball. These bateys are sometimes filled with athletes, that unfortunately may never have the opportunity to get out of the batey life.<br />
We loaded up and left he batey this afternoon and I began to hear the very familiar words again. Every time a team leaves I hear,"I don't want to go. I want to take them with me". Once again the few days this team has spent in the batey, has forever changed their view and opinion on the "least of these" and the gospel mandated call to "go&do". They are forever changed <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXScoZ02otTNxslx1NX2hfhlF_4mFuaSgOx8DfrjpL4IEcBgY-RrIw9gUUUfF9M3_npM7lz17d8MmaMay0Oq-J8MF6wgsJ1ljyuCRZJ7E9UUVY83LSoJa34KD-lrFynxDDj7lYXiPJ6yfr/s640/blogger-image-541132905.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Josh, pastor of Richmond Road, shared with the people and introduced the team. He told them how excited he was to be there and how his church had been praying for the people here, since I shared the vision with him years ago.<br />
I preached a message on Bartimaeus and Julio translated. I always enjoy sharing with the people here. Many of these people have a deep love for Jesus. Their worship is real and authentic - something we could learn from them! During my message this morning I talked about the fact that we must see that Jesus' ultimate purpose is to restore our broken relationship with God, not just to meet our physical needs. We must cry out, "Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me"<br />
After the service, the team from Richmond Road did a lesson on "The Fall". I Always enjoy watching teams bust out the trusty old flannel graph to share gospel stories. They also had a great craft. The kids made red fruits, with a stem, and a green leaf. It also had a black pipe cleaner with eyes coming out of the fruit, which symbolized the serpent. They shared the story of how sin entered into the stream of humanity-"the fall".<br />
We checked on the chicken projects here in Santa Alicia and even took a pic of one of the chickens laying an egg. Yeah, that may not be exciting as you read it, but it is truly exciting when it happens here because it means we are steps closer to sustaining life in this community and creating somewhat of an economy, and helping the Haitians become self sustaining people.<br />
We also walked out to a place where they are in the beginning stages of a community garden. This is another thing we have talked about and it is great to see that they have taken their own initiative to start the process. These people live out biblical community with one another-yet something else we can learn from them. Awesome.<br />
We ate lunch and spent time just relaxing before heading out again. We then went to a new batey called Dela Jagua in hopes of finding possibilities of service there.(-see earlier blog, titled, Dela Jagua.) After our time in that batey, we returned to the mission house and the team headed for the beach to spend some time relaxing. When they returned, Mercy made rice and beans, and I grilled up some pork and sausage. As usual, we had a great time sharing tonight about they. We even had a guest participant in our meeting the evening. My wife and daughter joined the meeting via FaceTime. I love technology! Thank you Natalie, for allowing me to chase after all that HE has put in front of me.<br />
Now it's time to get some rest, we head back out to Santa Alicia in the morning. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9Hxg_ZtHE-H3tkjEgh1iJzhjwamrhA0oLeDMtzGbitIu-3lVVPiLg4P8LlF4vFsEnoSTPafDkRHz-hq9w_Rv0FVpv9ilaP8aZvhDVvuSzmFzQcpgrwMs9g_8OcUQwwgkUvJiKy8xwVHEV/s640/blogger-image--1884476547.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
