Update from "Team Son" and "Bellas Pies"

One of highlights of the last couple days was on Thursday. Our groups got to take the metro to Mama Tingo, where we got to share with high school students why English is important but also why knowing Jesus is important. We also asked if they had any question about Jesus, English, or America. One of the students asked if we could sing, naturally Jon Schreiner rapped for them instead. The whole class was clapping and shouting along! In all seriousness, it was really cool to go to the different classrooms and tell them why knowing Jesus was important and why they should learn English. In total, we spoke to around 250 students.

Another highlight from Thursday was that a lot of people came to our English class. It was fun to see so many people have a desire to learn English, but also to learn about Jesus. Renee met a girl at English class named Samantha. Samantha said she was far away from God and Renee had the opportunity to tell her about Jesus. Samantha also met a Dominican Christian and after meeting this Christian, broke down in tears from talking to her. Renee got to tell Samantha her story about how she became a Christian and encouraged Samantha to think about what they talked about. It has been a great week and I’m sure I can speak for all of us in saying we are sad to go. Keep praying.


Please Pray:

• For Samantha, that she would come to know Jesus and get connected with La Vid. 
• Pray for the group coming next week and those who are staying from week one to week two. 
• That we would clearly communicate Jesus to the Dominicans.
