Just a few more days

Finally, UASD will be resuming classes next week! We’ve been enjoying the period of rest, but looking forward to seeing our students every day and impacting their lives!

We had a great inter-ministry prayer meeting to kickoff the new semester. A missionary from a different organization invited the Stint team, Leyla (our Vida Estudiantil campus director), and our students to join him and students from his ministry to meet at UASD and pray over the campus. In explaining his reasoning for calling the meeting, he referenced Acts and how the believers would consistently gather together to pray in unison for their needs, requests of the Holy Spirit to work in their lives, and revival. It was such a cool experience to hear the prayers of students and directors alike, all asking God that students at UASD would be known as true followers of Christ and that more would commit their lives to spreading the Gospel. We prayed over each of the embajadas or “embassies” which are small seating areas dedicated to each pueblo in the Dominican Republic. There are about 50 of these areas where students from each community find comfort in being around others they can relate to. Then we prayed over the students who came to the meeting, who represent the student population, and that God would strengthen them as leaders in their campus. They also blessed us with prayers to continue with endurance the work that God has sent us to do.

Please join us in continual prayer for the students of UASD and the people of the Dominican Republic. Although many know God’s name, few truly know what it means to be loved by Him and to love him back. Pray that they know Him and that radical change in this country would take place because they understand His will.
