September 2025 - Ministry Updates

Greetings,
I hope this letter finds you well. Thank you for your fervent prayers, continued financial support, faithfulness to God, and love for missions! As always, my family and I are grateful to you and want to keep you informed about the ministry in the Dominican Republic (DR).

Two weeks ago, we left the DR to begin our six-month furlough in the United States. We have already visited our sending church in Georgia as well as several other supporting churches. Next week, Lord willing, we will be in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Pray that we will have a good time there with the saints.

Next month, I will travel to the DR and stay there until mid-November. We have three brothers from a church in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, who will teach a modular course on “Principles of Bible Interpretation” in our Bible school. Then, a team from Virginia will minister to the children in our church. I also have two brothers from my sending church who will minister to our church family. While there, we will perform a wedding on November 8. Please pray that everything will go according to God’s will.

Below is a summary of our praise and prayer requests so you know how to continue to lift us before God. Thank you for being our partners in sharing the good news about Jesus Christ. To God be the glory! May He fulfill “the good work” He has begun in you “until the day of Jesus Christ” (Phil. 1:6).
