Every Day Ministries

The weather in the Caribbean is really getting stirred up as we hit the mid-season for Hurricanes, but today there was a different kind of stirring going on.  In the city of Cabrera, a conference was held titled “The Fire of God”.   The large gathering of Christians were taught by EDM, and some local  pastors, about the fire of God and the results of having the fire of God.  There was a tremendous response from everyone to the call to either receive the fire of God, or to fan in to flame the fire of God that had grown dim in their lives.  It is evident that God is spiritually stirring up a strong desire amongst many to live lives bathed in the fire of God not only in Cabrera, but across the island of the Dominican Republic.

Today a large youth conference was held in Puerto Rico A Pie, with young people coming from all over the region.  EDM was involved in this event, but not in the usual way.  For this event, EDM provided transportation for many young people who live in some of the smaller towns and villages far out in the country.  It felt good to help these young people get to an event they would not have been able to attend without the transportation help.  Although the roads were terrible, and the ride was slow and long, it was worth it all to see those young people praising and worshipping God, and listening intently to the Word of God.

A great cheer went up this past Monday when we announced that this November they (the pastors and leaders that meet on Monday night) would be a part of the first graduating class from EDM’s Bible Institute. It is hard to believe that we are so close to finishing the 100 sessions for this first ever EDM Bible Institute. The sessions have been such a blessing to those that have attended. So often, we have heard how the pastors have returned to their churches and preached the lessons they learned the previous Monday night. This past Monday, the class was reminded they are a holy priesthood, chosen by God to offer up spiritual sacrifices to Him daily. It was an humbling, but awe-inspiring lesson to see how God views us, and the response he expects from us. Continue to pray for the Bible Institute students and their families.

This year EDM was able to Scholarship over 150 pastor’s children from numerous communities.  It was amazing to be a part of something that brings HOPE to children.  Seeing the excitement and thanks in the children as they got their uniforms and school supplies filled us with joy.  The parents in the program were so grateful too, as they were assured that all their children could attend school this year.  God bless all of you that donated funds this year.
