World Wide Christian Schools - Dominican Republic

Well, our time in the Dominican came to a close. We were very blessed to live with the Bartels for the last 3 weeks, and to witness their life and work there. It has shown to us again the importance of Christian education, and how much of a blessing it is. The work that they are involved in is beautiful work - assisting christian schools in providing buildings, repairing, curriculum development, and the like. While we were here, we got to visit 3 schools, and got to see they were progressing over the last number of years and growing. And we also were able to learn about the hardships there is in bringing your family over to another country, and the many blessings of it as well. We were blessed so much with our time with Paul and Leslie and family and learned a lot from them (Leslie alone gave us 7,863 tips on how to surive and thrive in another country). We want to encourage you to pray for them and the work that they are doing. Pray that God would continue to bless their efforts, and make them a blessing for so many others. And in the next little while is going to be their busy season (when is it not), as they are planning for all the work teams to come, and then it is really busy as a lot of work teams are coming (Praise the LORD!), so pray that they can accomplish all the building work that is planned. And if you are able to support them financially in the work that they are doing, this would be a huge blessing as they continue the work! And pray for World Wide C.S. as well, everyone behind the scenes, and the workers in other countries too.
W.W.C.S - God bless you in your ministry and may He continue to lead your organization and open up doors and opportunities for you to serve and support Christians in other countries.

Well, our time came for our departure and so we left on Saturday morning, and began our journey to New Zealand.
