SEPTEMBER 2009

How is everyone doing today? It´s great to be able to contact all of you through these updates. It´s a placer to me tol et you know how God is using our ministry down here.

I am going to Stara off by asking for your prayers for both of my parents, because their health has not been very good lately. They are both doing great right now but a few weeks ago they had to goto a lot of doctor´s appoitments because of their blood presure and others issues. Everything is good now :)

I wish some of you World have been around for the TALENT SHOW NIGHT that we had with the youth group two weeks ago, it was awesome. Everyone show the talents that God has given them. It was a powerful night, we had a loto f people visiting that night. For mosto f the performers, it was the first time for them to perform in church because believers. We encourage all of them to invite their friends from the neiborhood to come match their performance…Everyone loved it. We had people dancing, rapping, doing dramas, songs in the pianno, hip hop dancing, and many other things. For me it was priceless to see all the effort that all of them put into their presentations and to see the reaction of the non believers that were at the church that night; they loved it and most of them were surprise because they never expected to have that much fun at a christian activity. Here are some pictures of the event:

I know I have mentioned to you all befote about a kid in our youth group that about 2 months ago was sign by the new York yankees to play baseball. Since he signed, he had to go to Santo Domingo, which is the city where the Yankee org. Has their baseball school (2 hours away from Santiago). Well we have been discipling him for about a year now and it wasn´t hill alter he got signed that he told me: ¨hey, I want to get baptize.¨ It was a great feeling for me to hear that but for weeks and weeks, it was hard to do it because couldn´t get together because now he was living in Santo Domingo and he World come to visit to santiago for like two days and then he was gone again. I remember the last time he cameback to visit his family, he contact me and told me that in a few weeks he was going to be in Santiago for 3 weeks on his vacation. with a big smile on his face he tells me ¨now we gonna be able to do it.¨ It was funny because before that he was always busy with practice and all that but now, the time finally came and its a great feeling for me to know that now he is part of God´s familly.


This past weekend I was part of a group that Will Partin- Sports director took to the mountains for baseball/ basketball/ volleyball clinnic. It was a blast. We enjoy the time with the kids and we also enjoyed the time we spent with the guys. We hado ver 20 young men with us in that trip helping us with their talents in each sport. 50% of the are non believers but this weekend was a great step for the to becoming closer to God´s presence, we had some great devotionals and sharing times. This is a trip that we look foward to every year. Here are some videos and pictures….Enjoy J
