Please pray for the following 21 people who will be serving on the Dominican Republic mission team July 8-16: Suzanne Berry, A.C. Blair, Ken Bownds, Rhonda Bownds, Bobby Bownds, Scott Everett, Caidon George, Kathy Glover, Steve Glover, Jeremy Glover, Andre Glover, Patrick Pryor, Miriam Rivera, David Rogers, Steve Runnels, Payton Runnels, Paul Siebenmann, Tricia Simmons, Tori Turner, Mike Whisenant & Sandi Whisenant. There will be a special prayer time for the team during the worship service on July 3.

Our schedule includes David preaching at Sunday services to a Haitian church, a blind church, and the church that meets on the property we purchased for them last year. David will also be sharing his testimony at a men's Bible study, the prison in Barahona, and the fire station. We will also cook breakfast for the firmen, have afternoon bible studies for women and children; play games with kids each morning; work side-by-side with Dominicans and Haitians constructing a concrete block wall on the church property; visit and pray with families in the neighborhood of the church and pray with teachers in the local school and present them with some Spanish language children's books; have a movie night at the ball field; do caricatures at the local park and fire station; meet with teens to follow up with their promise from last year's purity discussion groups; meet with men and women to help them with their budgets; identify those that we can help with physical needs and encourage and enable church members to meet those needs; and whatever else God calls us to do that week.

If the wi-fi connection allows us to we will update this blog as we can.
