Apartment hunting

God is good!

Through the generosity of WELS Kingdom Workers (for more info on WELS KW, click here) and our Christian brothers and sisters who support it, we will be starting an English as a Foreign Language program to "open up" our church to the community.

As we get to know the men and women who come to learn English -- and as they get to know us and see examples of our genuine Christian love -- it creates a natural bridge for us to share the Gospel with them, just as Peter wrote: "Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope (and love) that you have" (1 Peter 3:15).

More details of the program will come in future posts, but at this time, we ask for your prayers as we look for housing for the two volunteers who will serve as the English teachers. Due to rising costs here in the DR, we are having trouble finding an apartment that is secure, close enough to the church, and within our budget. We trust the Lord will provide what we need, in his time, as we continue the search.

The Lord bless you with his Peace,
NW
