3 YEAR ANNIVERSARY

Time moves along so fast and there is never a dull moment in the lives of the people we meet each day. I'm a little late getting this blog done but it is hard to believe that three years have passed since we came to the Dominican Republic to serve the Lord. August 14th marked our 3rd anniversary of arriving on this beautiful island. We can truly say that we have been blessed working alongside the mission teams, the local missionaries and most of all the Dominican people themselves. Our job not only consists of being ground tillers with the construction of homes, but also by providing for the physical and spiritual needs as well. We cannot do these things alone and don’t claim to be experts in everything, but we rely on the grace of our Heavenly Father to send people to fill these roles with their expertise. Our job does entail a lot of co-ordination and management to oversee the work, so this year Jane became a personal assistant (PA) to work alongside John in his role as MISSION DIRECTOR, ensuring that all areas of the work continue as are necessary. Please pray for both of us that the Lord will supply a greater knowledge of the Spanish language… we have made great strides, but there is still more to learn and even more cultural issues to be aware of. We would like to say a great big THANK YOU to all our sponsors for making this opportunity a reality through your generous donations and buckets of prayer.

May God be glorified in all that we do. John recently presented plaques to Jon & Andy from Mission Direct who raised the funds to help build the school in villa Esperanza.
