Recently Rev. Gregg Sneller from International Ministries visited us here in the Dominican Republic. We were able to show him the many aspects of the work going on here and the dreams we have for future work. He sent a letter that offers a view of the many opportunities for short term Missionaries and longer term Missionaries who have a desire to come and be the hands and feet of Jesus. He has given us permission to use his letter to inform you and we thank him.

¡Feliz Navidad! Merry Christmas! When Jesus came to our broken, rebellious world in the body of a baby, the angels sang, December 13, 2017

Hurricanes Irma and Maria struck the Caribbean islands during Puerto Rican Baptist churches’ annual fundraiser for global mission, leaving them unable to provide financial support for their local missionaries. International Ministries is asking donors to stand in the gap for Puerto Rican global servants by making up the difference in support.

At a Conference for Missionaries in Pennsylvania in 2015, the call came forth to go and visit the Dominican Republic. The call never left me and it grew in Cheryl as we asked God where we should go.

It is our joy to be in partnership with you. As we go through the advent season, we are reminded to wait expectantly for the Lord to enter into our world and into our lives in new and beautiful ways.

Dear Brothers and Sisters, I recently read a blog entitled, “Three Keys to Great Friendships.” The timing of this article coincided with our travels around the States and Puerto Rico visiting ABC churches.
