Update

The focus of our team has been John 3:30 "He must become greater; I must become less."

We have tried to focus on dying to ourselves so that Christ can live through us and be magnified in our lives. We want to live this lifestyle not only in the Dominican but wherever we go.

Our travel went very smoothly and we were able to meet up with many friends Friday night. Everyone from the first group met at Guibia, a popular hangout spot by the ocean with volleyball courts, a pizza place and an ice cream shop—it was a great end to a long day. We were encouraged to chat with other people who loved Jesus and know that we were united as a family because of our great Savior.

The Bible study on campus known as La Vid is growing in number thanks to hard work and faithful labor. Please pray for more laborers for the harvest through the small group meeting on campus. It has been great to reconnect with Mac who is the leader of the group and hear his heart and love for the people around him. Please pray that we make the most of our time on campus this week by encouraging Christians to make disciples and become a spiritual family that is burdened for those living in sin around them.

We are so thankful for your prayers and support of all kinds (Starburst, PB M&Ms)

For the glory of our great King!
