New Year -- New Opportunities

This year has gotten off to an exciting start for the Bible Church of Juan Tomás and Fountain of Life School. Many teachers and students have come back from Christmas break with renewed energy and new goals for their lives spiritually, in their homes, and in the school. Juan Tomás Bible Church is pictured below with an open door -- many church members are looking forward with anticipation to the many opportunities to present the Gospel of Christ as an open door to eternal salvation.
It is a blessing for us to begin the year with the first ever Basic Seminar in the Dominican Republic. Although we have only had two days so far, we are already seeing the benefit of this seminar to the lives of our people. Due to scheduling difficulties, we began on Friday, and will be finishing in just over a week. We began this rapidly planned Seminar with 16 people the first night, and the number has grown as others have been invited. On Saturday (yesterday), having gone partway through the Principle of Authority, several people raised their hands to share how God was speaking to them, and how they could apply these teachings at home to win family members for Christ. They are grateful for the opportunity to learn these Scriptural principles, and grateful to those who made it possible for them to take the Seminar at almost no cost. We are all excited about what God is doing with our church and school this year, and are praying for the continued revival of the believers and the winning of the village of Juan Tomás to Christ.
