God is advancing in the Caribbean and He has given all of us together the privilege of serving.<\/p>\n<p>As time passes, God sharpens our desires and focus to advance his Kingdom.\u00a0 Since our last newsletter, we have been in Guyana, Trinidad, Jamaica, Belize, Cuba and the Dominican Republic (where we live).\u00a0 We hope to be in our beloved Haiti soon. The grace that God is pouring out on the churches is a beautiful thing.<\/p>\n<p>The one thing that we see in common throughout the Caribbean is that His people are maturing; they are shifting from seeing themselves as a missionary project to missionaries. God is awakening His faith and purpose in the hearts and lives in the Caribbean. Right now, it is a crucial time of leadership. Pray for the leadership here that we would be sensitive to the Holy Spirit. We believe the Word of God and that God fulfills every promise. We see a shift coming from just waiting on the promise, to possessing the promise.<\/p>\n<p>What this means is that God has been cleansing His church so that we can walk worthily of His anointing and power. We need your prayers as we advance the in the Caribbean.<\/p>\n<p>Pastor Alexander Frias is a young pastor from Santo Domingo. God challenged him to quit his job as a driver to serve full-time in ministry. Since he made that commitment, God has used him in the Dominican Republic, California, and Panama.<\/p>\n<p>The Cabrera Family, missionaries from Cuba, serve in Angola, Africa. God has used them to plant a vibrant church.\u00a0 They are advancing the Kingdom of God in Angola.\u00a0 God is sending out His people from all nations to all nations.\u00a0 It is a work of grace.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favor, Favor, and more Favor in Cuba<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nWe had the privilege of holding a public children\u2019s program in a park in Cuba. As you can see by the photo, we had children of all ages enjoying the lessons, games, and songs. This was a first for us in Cuba. Thank you, Compassion Church, for ministering.<\/p>\n<p>Another historical first was that we enjoyed a retreat with 48 pastoral couples.\u00a0 At the end of the retreat, they renewed their marriage vows and ended with communion. It was beautifully teary because most had never had a religious ceremony. Thank you to Dr. and Mrs. Dalton and Dan and Brenda Clowers for ministering so effectively.<\/p>\n<p>Look at this adorable princess! This is Dijonae and she attends Penrith Educational Centre in Kingston Jamaica, a school sponsored by People to People Ministries. She has valiantly completed many surgeries in her life already, and faces more still. She is a new People to People child. Thank you, Hickory Grove Church, for the new shoes that fit her brace.

Dios est\u00e1 avanzando en el Caribe y \u00c9l nos ha dado a todos juntos el privilegio de servir. Conforme pasa el tiempo, Dios agudiza nuestros deseos y se enfoca para avanzar en su Reino. Desde nuestro \u00faltimo bolet\u00edn, hemos estado en Guyana, Trinidad, Jamaica, Belice, Cuba y la Rep\u00fablica Dominicana (donde vivimos). Esperamos estar en nuestro querido Hait\u00ed pronto. La gracia que Dios est\u00e1 derramando sobre las iglesias es algo hermoso. Lo \u00fanico que vemos en com\u00fan en todo el Caribe es que Su pueblo est\u00e1 madurando; Est\u00e1n pasando de verse como un proyecto misionero a los misioneros. Dios est\u00e1 despertando Su fe y prop\u00f3sito en los corazones y vidas en el Caribe. En este momento, es un momento crucial de liderazgo. Oremos por el liderazgo aqu\u00ed que ser\u00edamos sensibles al Esp\u00edritu Santo. Creemos en la Palabra de Dios y en que Dios cumple todas las promesas. Vemos un cambio que viene de esperar la promesa, poseer la promesa. Lo que esto significa es que Dios ha estado limpiando Su iglesia para que podamos caminar dignamente de Su unci\u00f3n y poder. Necesitamos sus oraciones mientras avanzamos en el Caribe. Pastor Alexander Fr\u00edas es un joven pastor de Santo Domingo. Dios le desafi\u00f3 a dejar su trabajo como conductor para servir a tiempo completo en el ministerio. Desde que hizo ese compromiso, Dios lo ha utilizado en la Rep\u00fablica Dominicana, California y Panam\u00e1. La Familia Cabrera, misioneros de Cuba, sirve en Angola, \u00c1frica. Dios los ha usado para plantar una iglesia vibrante. Ellos est\u00e1n avanzando el Reino de Dios en Angola. Dios est\u00e1 enviando su pueblo de todas las naciones a todas las naciones. Es una obra de gracia. <strong>Favor, Favor y m\u00e1s Favor en Cuba<\/strong> Tuvimos el privilegio de tener un programa p\u00fablico de ni\u00f1os en un parque en Cuba. Como se puede ver en la foto, tuvimos ni\u00f1os de todas las edades disfrutando de las lecciones, juegos y canciones. Esta fue una primera vez para nosotros en Cuba. Gracias, Iglesia de la Compasi\u00f3n, por ministrar. Otra hist\u00f3rica primera fue que disfrutamos de un retiro con 48 parejas pastorales. Al final del retiro, renovaron sus votos matrimoniales y terminaron con la comuni\u00f3n. Estaba lloroso porque la mayor\u00eda nunca hab\u00eda tenido una ceremonia religiosa. Gracias al Dr. ya la Sra. Dalton y Dan y Brenda Clowers por ministrar tan eficazmente. \u00a1Mira a esta adorable princesa! Esta es Dijonae y ella asiste al Centro Educativo Penrith en Kingston Jamaica, una escuela patrocinada por People to People Ministries. Ella ha completado valientemente muchas cirug\u00edas en su vida ya, y enfrenta a\u00fan m\u00e1s. Ella es un nuevo pueblo a la gente. Gracias, Hickory Grove Church, por los zapatos nuevos que se ajustan a su llave. Gracias por amar a estos ni\u00f1os. <strong>Oraci\u00f3n y Ayuda<\/strong> Hait\u00ed- Misioneros Roger y Ginger Johnson para recaudar el apoyo necesario para regresar a Hait\u00ed.
