AUGOST 2007

MINISTRY HIGHLIGHTS:
1. Our new worship band is improving every day, just getting better and better. Please keep praying for us because we have seemed God’s power working through the worship of his people.
2. Next week we are going back to batey 9 for 5 days to do a sports clinic. It’s going to be great because the young community of Santiago that has never been there are going to have a humble experience when they see the way people live in the bateys.
3. Last Sunday I preached at church and my dead best friend´s mother accepted Christ as her lord and savior. This made my week, she is like a mother to me and I know that my friend Tony would have been really happy or her decision; I told her that and with almost tears in her eyes she said ¨yes, I know.¨
4. I translated for a New Testament teacher from Lincoln Christian College for a week. It was such a blessing for me because since I was translating all his knowledge, I stole some of his knowledge for myself. It was a great seminar.

PROJECTS WORKING ON:
1. We are planning to start working hard in or drama ministry, we are planning to start a full schedule of activities to go everywhere with the youth and the college age starting at the end of October.
2. In the worship band we are planning to prepare some English songs for the future. We are going to translate them and perform them in both languages at the same time.

PRAYER REQUEST:
1. For our new worship team.
2. I want God to develop my counseling abilities.

HOW IS GOD WORKING IN YOU?
He has set in my heart to improve the worship in my church… since he moment I took that responsibility he has been giving me many ideas to make things better. I am blessing to have a worship team that was put together by God because they all believe in what we can accomplish with this band. And they all see the big picture of the things that God wants to do through or worship band. I´m glad to be part of that vision, please keep praying for me and I´ll be dong my thing I love you all!!!

JULY 2007

MINISTRY HIGHLIGHTS:
Our college age class just began studying a new book. We have had a good response already… there are people studying the book with us that had never been in church before and now they are into it. I have had people telling me how exited they are bout this book because they recognize that they have to make some changes in their lives.
Two weeks ago I was invited to performed in a concert downtown. For me the important thing was not to perform in from of bunch of people but to stablish new friendships with some Christian artist that are going to have great influence in this country in the next couple years.
We spent almost a week in batey 9 doing construction and several medical clinics there and it was a blessing for all of us. Once again I had the opportunity to share with the youth from their church and I even had the chance to sing with one of them at church.

PROJECTS WORKING ON:
We want to create a better follow up program with those people who come to our service and accept Christ. Especially with the youth; we want to create an environment where they feel save and the can learn more to be Disciples of Christ.
I´m working on a rap CD that will be ready for sometime next year. God has been opening doors even when I wasn´t looking for opportunities. God is giving me the opportunity to reach kids with something I like and I just say ¨¨why not.¨¨ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXZzCKafZLo

PRAYER REQUEST:
1. For our new worship team. We want God to keep us together and to continue growing in him so we can impact others.
2. God to give us wisdom to disciple those who have come to us for help.

MINISTRY CHALLENGES:
