June 2017 Update

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

Philippians 4: 6-7

It is easy for us to be anxious, especially ahead of leaving for the DR... packing, planning our time there, and trying to wrap up loose ends here can be stressful- and is! So we rest in Paul’s words above.

We leave tomorrow for the DR for 3 weeks. Our objectives are the same as our prayer needs, which are to:

  • Honor the women currently in our program with the celebration of their literacy accomplishments the evening of June 27th.
  • Assess how we are doing with the literacy/gospel sharing ministry in the three churches we serve.
  • Get feedback from the people who work and volunteer for us on any changes needed.
  • Meet with churches new to us interested in partnering with us.
  • We will give you an update once we return. Thank you for standing with us in prayer.

Yours in Christ,

David y Mercedes
