Dominican Republic day2

Today has been filled with some great conversations about the gospel and justice. We have been praying and dreaming big about all that the Lord may have in store for us here in the Dominican Republic.
I spent some time with an engineer here discussing the possibility o building a multi- purpose ministry facility that would one day possibly serve as a school. I shared this vision with him on our last trip. During tat trip, he gave me a basic rendering of what he thought might work well. This morning we got a call to come back to his office. Upon arrival, he handed me a copy of the blueprints of the first and second floor of the dream center. This is an answer to prayer because it gives us something to look at and use as a baseline in looking at what to do.
Okay, this is a huge deal but I have to confess that the Lord seems to be continually opening doors in that direction. We even had an opportunity to meet with the Conani during our last trip and share the vision we have. The Conani here serves as the children's advocate in the Dominican and see seemed very interested I. What we were thinking and praying about.
Today, we also went and looked at a house that could possibly serve as phase one of our dream. A house that could very well house groups that would come in and do ministry. A house that could serve as lodging for our missionary friends here. A house that could serve a the hub for our chicken project.
As you can see, there is a lot going on and we are praying in expectation of what He has for us.
It's been great having Kent and Aaron here from 25project to show them all that the Lord has been doing. Praying about how and what future partnerships could look like here in the DR.
Tomorrow, we will head to the batays where our existing chicken projects are. We will also be going to look at possible ministry opportunities in a new batay
