Hello all! I know it's been a very long time since I've updated this blog, but I have some very exciting news for you all!!! The Lord has provided an opportunity for my mom and I to serve Him in the Dominican Republic from November 6-12, 2008. We consider it a privilege to serve our Lord Jesus Christ in this way. Our Grace Church of Orange group consists of 25 youth and parents led by Matthew Holbrook, Rebekah Holbrook's brother. Rebekah serves with Kids alive at an orphanage and school in Monte Plata, DR. We have a busy schedule which includes kids programs, youth programs, Speechless outreach, door-to-door outreach, work projects, date nights for house parents, and church services.
We covet your prayers for all of those activities as well as in the following areas:
props/costumes
Team Unity
Show Christ's love through our actions
Share the love of Christ effectively regardless of the
language barrier (Spanish)
Spiritual Growth
Protection from spiritual darkness and illness
Go with the flow attitude
Relationships developed with the children in the orphanage
God to be glorified in all we do
Adaptation to time (4 hours later) and weather change (89
degrees and very humid)
Limited mosquito bites
Souls saved
Colossians 3:17
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it
all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the
Father through Him.
You can keep updated on us through these 2 sites, though
internet access is unpredictable.
