DOMINICAN REPUBLIC MISSION OPPORTUNITY June 28 - July 9, 2012
During June 28-July 9, 2012, we have been once again asked to go to
the Dominican Republic with a mission team through the Partners in Christ Ministry. We are to lead the evangelistic English Camp for 12-15 year old children who are the poorest of the poor in the village of Juan Tomas, DR. We will be serving at Colegio Manantial de
Vida (Fountain of Life Christian School) at the Iglesia Centro Biblico de Juan Tomas Mission.
The purpose of our trip is fourfold:
• First, we will be allowing God to work through us as we present the Gospel in every phase of our ministry, in classes and in personal time.
• Second, the purpose of the trip is to provide an immersion experience in English for the junior high aged students in the village. We will live with them 24/7 for the week, and teach English Vocabulary and Grammar, as well as Bible, Character, Music, Crafts, & sports, and still
have plenty of discipleship time & fellowship
• Third, we will conduct
evangelistic meetings nightly for all the village, with uplifting messages and God-honoring music. David Dzimianski will be preaching during the week.
• Fourth, we will pray for the unsaved and heathen people that God may open their eyes and we will share tracts and the Gospel message as we get out into the surrounding communities. We will encourage local Christians in the village, and our own missionaries to the DR. Our presence will bolster their spirits and support their work.
Our theme this year is "The Christ Life" and how we should live in a way that glorifies God.
We are excited about the opportunity and experience that lies ahead, and know that it will change us more than
the ones that we serve!
We hope that you see the value in what we will accomplish. As you can imagine, a trip like this requires financial support from a number of people. Our group has to provide the money to run the camp in total – costs include food & lodging for 60+ people, plus the fuel to run the generators for electricity, and all the camp educational, craft and sport supplies and our transportation in country.
The camp costs will run about $5000. In addition, we must provide for our own airfare, lodging, insurance and other travel expenses at a cost of about $800 each. If you can support us in a financial way, the
re are two ways to do so. You can make a check to “Partners in Christ” and mail it to their address OR you can visit the Partners in Christ website http://partnersnchrist.org/donations.html and donate via Paypal or credit card. In either case, designate the gift “Junior High English Camp”. Contributions for the camp made to Partners in Christ are tax deductible and you will receive a receipt. Any amount that you can contribute will be greatly appreciated, and will be an eternal investment in the lives of others in the name of Christ.
While money is important, it comes in a distant second to the need for your prayer support. Since prayer support is so important to the success of this mission, enclosed is a bookmark that you can put in your Bible
. Please pray daily for us! We will be giving up all the comforts of home, and facing unusual challenges, but have perfect peace that God has brought this about, and God will keep us in His safe and loving arms.
