Meeting with the Elders and Deacons

Have you ever felt really really small? I can honestly tell you that I felt a wee bit small standing in front of the elders and the deacons of my church. I must say that it was a little intimidating staring at each of them as they stared back at me, but as soon as we prayed together, the burdens of worry and anxiousness disappeared. I felt so blessed to be able to share my heart and my passion for the DR with these men whom I have so much respect for. It was exciting to see the looks on their faces as I spoke to them in Spanish a bit, answered different questions they may have and then to share with them the video presentation I had spent so many hours stressing over. I can say with full confidence that God was with me that night and I am so thankful for the opportunities He has blessed me with recently to share this excitement for the work that is being done in the Dominican!

I was told that my church supports my efforts and will gladly bless me with monetary support when I begin classes at bible college and from there, only God knows. I am very hopeful and excited to begin preparing and sharing my presentation with the congregation and with other churches. Thanks to all of you who have lifted me up in prayer, I truly appreciate it!
