Saturday was an amazing day. All the praying and preparation came to a head as we witnessed hundreds of pastors and leaders flowing into the conference area. It was a beautiful day in Nagua after days of rain. It was as if the Lord said, “Not today.” The natural rain was not allowed to hinder anyone from receiving the supernatural rain that came down from heaven that day. A life changing message permeated their hearts and later they each received a time of personal ministry…every one of them. People then returned to their communities across the province with a new joy in their hearts and ready for battle. All over the province, there are refreshed and empowered leaders who are advancing the Kingdom for Christ.

Worth It All

As we drove on a 3 hour roundtrip on Friday night over the treacherous roads of the country, carefully maneuvering the truck-sized potholes…we felt like the ships on the show, “Deadliest Catch.” We recently had the opportunity to provide transportation for a youth group of a small community which was deep into the countryside. Although we fought sea-sickness, we were soon encouraged as we drove them home and listened to their joyous voices singing songs of praise to Jesus. It also occurred to us that if we hadn’t endured such a trip, they would not have had the opportunity to be part of a youth event that hosted over 200 young people that evening. It was worth it all.

Outreach in Las Cejas

As we pulled up in the mission truck loaded with team members and equipment for our outreach; people pointed at the truck, smiled and waved. They gathered quickly as we set up for our outreach in Las Cejas. There was a level of familiarity now with the team members and people of the community. They had bonded throughout the week of work and visititation. Even community members came out to work alongside of us. By the end of the evening there were over 150 people to hear a message of hope. Last night they were reminded that with God all things are possible. It was an amazing evening. Look for the video and other updates on our facebook page for Every Day Ministries.

God Was There

God never ceases to amaze me. Today, with a team from both Canada and the States, we visited the community of Las Cejas; which is located between the rice fields as far as one can see. We witnessed the Lord restore and heal people. Francisco had his vision restored after 2 years of suffering. Oh how this man rejoiced! Santo, a man who through disease had lost the ability to walk or even move his legs, was standing up with the use of a chair and moving about his one room house before we left. There were numerous testimonies today of how the Lord infused His people with His love and joy and restored what had been taken. God was there! God heard the cries of His people. God is faithful!

Making Memories

It was an adventurous trip to the Capitol today. What we thought would be a simple trip to the Botanical Gardens with the Women of Destiny group turned out to be an interesting detour through the open market of Santo Domingo. It was crammed with vendors of fruits, vegetables and a variety of other products…but what was most impressive were the truckloads and truckloads of unending plantains! Also, as we attempted to squeeze through the narrow passages of what was left of the streets, there were many near misses by various vendors peddling their portable/bicycle storefronts. The van full of ladies all laughed together through our adventure. We finally arrived at the Botanical Gardens after our 50 minute “extra tour” and everyone was happy to be there. The gardens were beautiful and we enjoyed our guided tour until the downpour of rain. However, it stopped so we could visit the Japenese Garden and take a few pictures and then as we boarded…it rained again! Oh we laughed so much throughout the day. We ended our day with a lunch together in one of the local’s favorite diners. Together we shared chicken, cooked bananas, rice and beans and salad. There was a lot of laughter around the table as the remarked about their favorite part of the tour…the adventure of the plantains. Memories are what one makes of them….make the best of whatever God brings your way. Smile and make sure you laugh.

Good Day for Soccer

Today we held a soccer clinic in Nagua to over 75 children and teens. A couple of visiting team members taught soccer skills and drills. We then held a scrimmage. Everyone had fun–from the spectators to the players. Afterwards one of the team members, who holds a soccer scholarship to a private university, shared her testimony. She told the many young people about her great love for soccer and the trials and triumphs along the way…but most importantly she shared her greatest love of all…Jesus Christ. Everyone there heard about the difference that Christ can make in our lives and our great need for Him…for now and for our future. Dozens of young people, made a decision to receive Christ as their Savior today. Today was a good day for soccer.

In the Hills of Rio San Juan

In the hills of Rio San Juan, we gathered under a beautiful fruit tree as we praised our King. We gathered with Pastora Elena and her congregation to celebrate together as we will be joining forces this week to complete her church. A team from Canada’s New Life Community Church is here to help. There was so much excitement in the air. Pastora Elena’s worship leader, Nelson, declared that as they were praising Jesus in the mountains and asking Him for help, Jesus heard them and motivated others from North America to respond. They rejoiced and we thanked God for allowing us to be a part of answered prayer. We will keep you posted with the progress.

Praising our King

Praising our King and going before Him with our requests…our night was filled with promise, with pursuit and with an awareness that He was there with us. Recently we gathered with some of the area women in leadership to seek God together. As “Women of Destiny”, we cried out for our nation, our city, our churches, our ministries, our families and for our personal needs. It was an amazing and powerful night as we agreed together before Christ our King. We know He is faithful and hears us. We know we can trust Him and we know that He will complete His word. It was so beautiful to hear the voices in one accord as the room was filled with praises. A number of women stayed afterward to ask for personal prayer. We rejoiced as we thanked God for answered requests from past prayers and we stood together to believe for future breakthroughs. Thank you Lord for all you do!

Worship Conference

Recently, EDM held a Worship Conference in Pajita that was attended by representatives from all the churches in this area. There is a real hunger within the churches to understand and learn about true Biblical Worship. As well there is a real desire to see true worship manifested in the life of the church and the lives of each member of the church on a daily basis. At each one of these conferences not only has there been great teaching, but often there have been incredible times of worship and praise where God has filled the building with His presence. Please pray for the churches and pastors who have such a passion to see God worshipped in spirit and truth daily.

Break through weekend

ryan — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 03:50:35 +0000

This weekend God answered prayer in a remarkable way as a group of pastors publicly reconciled and restored their relationships with one another. It was incredible to see them put aside their differences and forgive one another in front of many of the pastors and leaders of this area. God is stirring the hearts of many, and preparing the way for a great move of God. Continue to pray with us that a spirit of unity will continue to grow amongst all the pastors of this province, and spread nation wide.
