What's Next...

Obviously with all that is going on, there are about 5,000 things I need and want to blog about. However, with his blog, I figured I would give just some random information that might answer some of your questions.

When Will We Be Moving?
The plan right now is for us to move sometime in January. We have not yet set an exact date to fly out, but hopefully we will have that nailed down soon.

What Do We Need Prayer For and Help With?
This has been a popular question from many. The biggest three needs right now are the following: 1. Selling our house 2. Getting rid of all our stuff and storing the few things we keep 3. Raising support

If any of you are looking for a brand new 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee or a brand new 1999 Honda Civic, let us know!! Or, if you are in need of anything else, we have lots of stuff for sale, including a house.

Who Are We Working With and What Are We Doing?
The organization we are serving with is called New Missions. Our first experience with them made me say WOW! God is clearly using them and the fruit of their labor is obvious. From their work in Haiti to the Dominican, God has blessed their work and is raising up generations of Christian leaders. It all started when George and Jeanne pitched 5 tents in Haiti after God gave them a vision to reach the people there.

In the Dominican Republic, they have started 3 churches (2 Spanish and 1 English), run 4 Christian schools, have a health clinic, and a Bible College. They have a child sponsorship program for the children in their schools and utilize teams that come from churches all over the United States. In Haiti, they have established 21 churches, over 9,000 students enrolled in 21 elementary schools, a high school, and a 4 year Bible College. The organization employs over 300 Haitians that serve as church leaders, school teachers, and clinic staff!

Check out their newly updated website at http://www.newmissions.org/ for more info on this incredible organization.

What is the Spiritual Climate of the DR?
The country's spiritual make-up is 6% protestant, 7% practicing Roman Catholic, with the remainder non-practicing Roman Catholic, Voodoo, and Atheists.

Continue to pray for us on this journey! Thank you all for your encouragement and support.
