In Preparation

My next stop along the road to glory is Jarabacoa, Dominican Republic. I have joined up with a wonderful missions organization called Students International (www.stint.com) and told them I'd come work at the art site for a minimum of two years. I realize that most of you already know this info because you got this address off of my prayer card, but, hey, I like talking about it. Anyway, I took this pic while in the DR this summer. Jarabacoa is nestled in this beautiful mountain valley. I will be surrounded by palm trees, banana trees, avocado trees, mango trees and, yes, pine trees.

God loves the Dominican Republic. I know because I just had to read a book about the DR and God began imparting His heart to me for the people and I am exicted to get down there and watch Him do what He does best: love and redeem.

So, I'm about to start raising support for my living expenses for two years. I cannot leave even for language school until I have raised my support. I will keep a regular update on here regarding the progress. My goal is to get to the DR by summer. Thanks again for sharing in my excitement as I prepare for this next leg of the race.
