Jesse, Rebecca, Colton, Elisha & Lydia
We have some big answers to pray to share with you! First of all, we made it back
to the Dominican Republic. It took a month longer than expected and we ended up
with the same one year visas we had before, but we are home. Before we returned,
we had been told about one of the pastors resigning at the end of the year and fully
expected to come back to only two pastors out of five churches. We have been
asking for prayer for more pastors and leaders for over a year now and every time I
got a chance to speak in the US this last trip I shared that as our number one
request. Upon my first meeting back I found out that God had answered prayer in a
huge way. Yes, one of our pastors did resign, but God has called two more men to
pastor. Instead of only having two pastors for five churches we now have four.
Please pray for pastor Delvi Vasquez at the San Miguel church, pastor Jos Lovera at
the Nagua church and for their families.
Family Update
Another huge answer to prayer is the safe arrival of
our new baby girl, Lydia Diann. She was born without
any complications on Valentines Day. She is a big
ball of everything wonderful at 9Ibs. 2oz. and 20in.
long. Both her and Rebecca are home resting now (as
much resting as a mother can get). We have been
overwhelmed by the loving response of people
congratulating us and praying for us. Thank you for
the way you care so well for us. Colton and Elisha are
enjoying their new role as big teachers and
Pastor Delvi Vasquez
protectors. They are enjoying Rebeccas parents
being down here for a little bit too.
