Easter

He is risen - Just as He said.

Easter is not a big holiday in Latin America - Good Friday seems to get all the attention. Many people remember Jesus' suffering but then do not rejoice in His victory.

For us, Easter is the highlight of our faith. Our Savior has left the tomb empty - victorious. The churches in the DR celebrated this Easter by showing our new WELS movie, "The Road to Emmaus". Pastor Alex showed the movie in Moca in the morning and Pastor Juan shared it with his congregation in the afternoon in Pueblo Nuevo.

People enjoyed the movie and we hope it will be used for further outreach and evangelism. Many new people were already present for the two showings and members have many more friends with whom they would like to share the movie. We are thankful for these kinds of resources to aid in evangelism, especially since we have found that videos are a very popular method of learning in Latin America.
