The Fire That Won’t Go Out
Returning to the Dominican Republic to work with Phil and Donna Williams of Servant’s Heart Ministries.
Going Alone. One of the difficult aspects is that I am going to be apart from my wife Sandy for most of the year. To say I will miss her does not begin to describe what I anticipate, she really is the best part of me so I wonder if the DR is getting much of a bargain. I will be counting on the faithful prayer and support of family and friends, along with leaning on the Holy Spirit.
In Preparation. I am currently in training with The STM Network. I have been approved by the Missions Operations Committee for a year mobilization in the Dominican Republic working with the Williams of Servant’s Heart Ministries. I will be going out once I have raise my missions budget which I hope will be by the end of May 2013. God willing.

I thank God for your support, and rest in the knowledge that I am covered and upheld by your prayers.
Not in our own power -- only with Jesus Christ in us can we truly make a difference.
Though we make our own plans and hone our skills, they are woefully inadequate and naive but we serve a God who uses our shortcomings.
"My only boast, my only confidence, my only hope, is in Christ."
