CRUCIAL - Giving Classmates

I am so excited about what God is doing in the ministry that He has given my wife and I in the Dominican Republic! Three more children have come to the Lord this past week - which makes 113 people who have come to the Lord in the last two months and one week. Every week we have over 48 children coming to our Sunday school class on Saturday where we give them each some juice and a cookie, but most importantly the word of God. My wife teaches an interactive lesson that engages the kids, with activities such as coloring and drama - allowing them to act out what they have learned. After all, learning the scriptures is more than just memorization. The mothers have been so impressed by the children that five of them recently came to one of the meetings as well, they said that they need the word of God also. My wife's mother said that one of those women gave her life to the Lord as well.

We are building relationships with our Dominican community and our is the first and second commandments - loving God and loving people and the Great Commission. We are making disciples and teaching them to walk in love and obedience to the word of God. The focus of the upcoming 10-day trip will be establishing relationships with other local ministry and leaders to help us in our efforts. We would like you to join our family of partners as we work collectively in pray, vision, and resources. Together we will change our world!

This is a time when finances are tight for many, but that is all the more reason to sow into fruitful ground. This Wednesday My pastor taught on seed, t-i-m-e, and then harvest (Genesis 8:22). We need to be seed sensitive and harvest minded - to know what seed God wants us to sow and what ground we are sowing into, because only sowing in good ground will bring forth a bountiful harvest.

2 Corinthians 9:6-12

But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever. Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness; Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God. For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God; Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men; And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you. Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.

WE NEED THE LAST $800

In V. 12 You can see the blessing that you give to God's people is a service and is an expression of thanksgiving to God. Your gift will cause thankfulness in the hearts of them which your seeds are planted, bringing the fruit of thanksgiving and obedience to the gospel of Christ. Thank you so much for your seed, as we are hoping to leave for the Dominican Republic in the next week. To those who have joined our family and also given and to those who have promised to give in prayers and resources, we would like to be blessing to you by getting a digital photo of you and your family, which we will take with us to the people so that they will be praying for you and your family on a regular basis. We will return with photos of them so that you can pray for them as well. For those who have not made the decision to join our family, I ask you do so right away. As our family grows we will need your prayer more than ever. Whether it is prayer only or prayer and resources, let me know what you can provide, and send your photos. Let's work together to change our world!! One family at a time. Thanks so much for your time! Please see the attached support letter and let me know you received this letter. God bless you and I hope to hear from you soon. You can also mail any gifts and photos to the following address:

May I inquire into why you would object to it? We have two giving classmates that were trying to get their message out for good causes. While we can't continue to do this on a regular basis, I personally saw no issue with trying to help them spread their word & sharing what they do for others.
