We got a call from our leader earlier this week.
It was God.
He wanted the 13 of us to know that He is well pleased with our work and how we are persevering in our work for Him.
Our group has been here for two months now.
The ministries are in full swing and the Holy Spirit is doing some great things in this city.
Relationships are building and through this people’s hearts’ are beginning to soften.
As Carrie stated earlier this week, “People don’t care what you know until they know that you care.”
They are starting to know that we care.
The other half of what God wanted to say to our group this week was that it is time to move out in boldness.
The ministries have formed and the relationships have developed.
It is time for the people of San Juan to not just see the Truth in our lives, but to also hear us proclaim it with our mouths.
A new push for evangelism, that is what the Lord has impressed upon our heart.
So, each day we are learning more and more about what it means to go out in boldness and proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ through words.
AIM’s primary objective in the Dominican Republic is to make disciples.
The second, is to start an indigenous church planting movement.
We have not swayed from these priorities, but the Holy Spirit has impressed it upon our hearts to boldly move forward with the following plan.
God has given us a goal of planting four churches and establishing eight discipleship relationships by May 15, 2007.
This is a God-sized goal and we believe we are the people He is going to use to carry it out.
We need your prayers!
Pray for continued boldness to heed this call.
Pray for increased empowerment
from the Holy Spirit.
From the beginning of time God knew that the 13 of us would be here for this time.
What an amazing opportunity God has given us to proclaim freedom to the captives in the Dominican Republic!
