San Pedro Celebrates 5 Years



This Feb. the congregation, "El Amor de Jesucristo Lo Vence Todo", celebrated their fifth year anniversary of the dedication of their building. In a joyful worship service, Pastor Julio Corporan emphasized their thankfulness for being brought to know the truth and he encouraged the members to continue living lives of gratitude to their Savior.

San Pedro is on the southeast end of the island. By far, the poorest of the Lutheran congregations in the Dominican Republic, they are rich in witnessing. This small group, though it has meager offerings, does a great deal of outreach. They have contacts and small groups in such cities as La Romana, Quisqueya, and Higuey and are also working in several barrios within the city of San Pedro itself: Barrio Lindo, Honduras and in several outlying bateys (where the cane workers live).

What a joy to hear them speak of their witnessing opportunities and what an even greater joy for them to share the Savior with others. May the Holy Spirit help us to do the same.
