Troy's two and we are expecting baby number two - coming February 2019! Please be praying for a healthy pregnancy, for us as we continue to raise support for our growing family and adjust to life in ministry with two little ones. Troy is really starting to communicate and is doing great in both languages. He loves babies and we are excited to watch him grow as a new big bro! 



This year we celebrated 10 years of God's faithfulness through Cristo Urbano camp, we were able to challenge 250 teens in their faith and 11 of them made the decision to get baptized! Our main mission for this camp is to reach out to the people who don't usually go to church and this year 70% of the campers were non-Christians. Throughout the last 10 years, God has used this camp to plant seeds in the lives of over 2,500 youth from all across the island! The most encouraging thing for us to see is individuals who came to Christ through camp are now preaching, sponsoring camp and helping lead worship and small groups. As a result of this camp, we have also helped launch other Christian rappers and break dance groups ministering to kids in other parts of the country. 
The teams that have come to serve alongside us this year have been a huge encouragement to our family. Troy fits into our family perfectly and loves having people come to visit as much as we do! If you would like to join a team, please let us know. Lenae had a new role of overseeing the media interns this summer. She was really thankful for their time and talent and grew and learned a lot from this experience. 
Last year we started studying a discipleship book called Rooted. We invited 15 small group leaders from our church to check it out with the leadership first to see if we liked the book. That led us to launching 17 groups from our church and over 100 groups from other GO churches around the country. Months later, hundreds of Dominicans are being discipled by this amazing tool. We keep hearing amazing stories of peoples' lives being changed, several people getting baptized and a lot of Christians being convicted to read their Bibles more. Through this study, our GO and church staff feel more connected and know how to better pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ. 
After five years in the making, we finally released our new album Rimas 3R. It was the most challenging project that we have done because in this stage of our lives, we are all married and have kids so we don't have the time that we used to for music. Still, we wanted to make sure that we did something special for our fans. This album of 13 songs is something that everyone can enjoy. If you want to check it out, it is available on iTunes, Spotify and Google Play. GET IT! https://open.spotify.com/album/2UNi76... ALSO AT https://itunes.apple.com/mx/album/rim...
God is doing incredible things through GO Ministries! We are so blessed to get to be a part of it, we want to invite you to be a part by coming down and serving alongside us in the Dominican, praying, or financially supporting our family!
All our love and prayers,
Isaias, Lenae and Troy Gabriel
