Update from "Frio Frijoles"

Yesterday we were able to worship and fellowship with La Vid in San Pedro - it was so cool to hear Dominicans being very honest about their Christian walk. We got to see three baptisms and were reminded that the love of God through fellowship transcends all language barriers!

The weekend was a really great opportunity to embrace and learn about the Dominican culture, from learning new slang to surviving crazy road trips and enjoying the delicious food. It was a wonderful opportunity for us to get to know the locals and students better before heading to campus today.

When we got on campus, we were all were so pumped at how willing the students were to talk. We were refreshed to be able to share the gospel after a weekend of fellowship with not as much evangelism. The opportunities exploded today.

Laura was blown away - her first conversation the girl accepted Christ! We made many friends today and hope to follow up with them tomorrow.

Tim had some great conversations and we frequently met people that knew the basics of the gospel, but didn't know you could know FOR SURE that you are going to heaven. Many had an intellectual understanding of Christ, but hadn't accepted Christ into their life yet because they felt unworthy, unwilling to change, or were waiting for the "right moment".

Tonight at our tie-down, Carla really hit home telling us how she reminded the people we talked to that fellowship is so important and getting them hooked up with the bible study there, La Vid. We are praying for more opportunities to go deeper with the students throughout the week and are blessed to have someone in our group who can communicate so clearly with the Dominicans.

Thank you for your prayers!
