60 days and counting down until we leave for the Dominican Republic. :) We are all getting excited to see what God has in store for us there.
It has been amazing to see that even during the holidays we have seen the generosity of people that support the kingdom of God and missions. :) As of right now we are at $3605 and only have apx. $1000 to go. Praise God!
Today, we were finally able to book our flights. Long story but it is done. Yay!!
The enemy is certainly at work trying to make things difficult for us but it has made me feel even more victorious following Christ when I see the problems arise & Him overcoming. God is building our endurance and teaching us to find joy in the struggles. So God is using what Satan means for harm to do good by developing our faith. :)
I wanted to let you know our current prayer requests:
1. Pray that God would continue to move in our hearts and others towards missions.
2. Pray as Richard is preparing a Bible teaching. For him to be encouraged by others and for the boldness in the DR to publicly tell others the Good News.
3. Pray that the kids and I would be able to learn at least one more song in Spanish for worship.
4. Pray for me as I prepare my testimony.
5. Pray for Rylee and I to be bold when we lead worship in Spanish.
6. Also pray for Noah playing guitar.
7. Pray that all of us would be bold in witnessing & gentle in spirit.
8. Also for God's protection.
Thank you to those of you in the US, Canada, Russia and Germany for coming to this blog and lifting us up in prayer. We are so thankful to any brothers and sisters we have in Christ. I bet those of you in different countries are probably working in missions... Please send us an email. We would love to pray for you. rvanterve@yahoo.com
That's it for now. :)
