A lot has happened since my last post. Check out below what we are working on!
"Under the Lord's leading, we have recently returned from a trip to the Dominican Republic, where there are nearly 1 million Haitian refugees. The level of poverty in most of these communities is even worse than in Haiti, because they are heavily discriminated against and not many people are helping them. In June, we will send our five older kids to an intense 4-6 months of language and missionary training in Nicaragua. Here, they will learn English, Spanish, Bible, and life skills. They will spend 4 days a week in school, and two days in hands-on ministry in surrounding communities. They will be taught under the guidance of Farrell Burton and Steve Horne, and will be enrolled in a ministry and Christian language school. Upon completion, the five young adults will graduate with the ability to speak 3 languages - Spanish, English and Creole- as well as have a grasp of the Bible and ministry training. After completing this intense training, they will return to these Haitian communities in the Dominican Republic along with us, to minister to the people there. They are all very excited about this opportunity...as are we!"
