Big Team Changes

One of our team members, Natasha was sent home today and will not be continuing Stint with us. You can read her own words from her blog here on why she had to do so.  We enjoyed having her as a part of our team and will miss her dearly. It will be weird getting used to being a team of just four now. But we all know that this this the best thing first of all for Natasha's health, our team's, and the mission's. Please pray for her as she makes this transition back home and is working with Red River Region with Crusade on finding placement in their regional office.

Brianna is currently in Panama for a women’s conference that Crusade is hosting for staff members throughout Latin America. This will be a great opportunity for her to connect with other women, learn from their experiences as missionaries in other countries, and be encouraged!

Jimmy is finally home from the hospital—turns out he had pulmonary fibrosis—and is resting as much as he can. Thanks for your prayers for his recovery!

It feels like our team of five shrunk to two! Even though it’s weird without my girls in the house, I am enjoying the time alone to reflect, pray, and get re-energized.

As for follow up with the outreach from last week, I saw one of the girls that we met at our meeting this week! I got to talk to her after wards and hear about her walk with God. The students in Vida have taken responsibility for sharing God’s fame throughout UASD as they follow up with the 100 and some students we met and them email invitations to join us in community as we learn about God together.

God is truly at work here in the Dominican Republic. And it is for His fame and our joy that we live out 2 Corinthians 6:4 “In everything we do, we show that we are true ministers of God. We patiently endure troubles and hardships and calamities of every kind.”
