MAY ALL THAT HAS LIFE & BREATH PRAISE HIM WHO IS WORTHY!

So many things to write, my little fingers can't type fast enough! We've officially ended the "summer" after twelve straight weeks of high school, college age & adult teams working in our different ministry sites here in Jarabacoa... serving as blessings & being blessed. Other super exciting praise that I can't believe I'm just now posting is that... WE HAVE A NEW ART SITE!!! Beyond what Francisco, myself & the others of SI could ever ask or imagine actually being able to have as an art site is now our location (for about a month now!) thanks to God's incredible provision from the details in the timing of it all, to providing a supporter to pay rent for an undetermined amount of time, to the price & five year contract that we agreed upon. Please join with us in lifting the Art School up to the Sovereign Lord as we transition from the busy summer season to "life as normal" (or something like that), look at restructuring & organization of the new space & new respo nsibilities, but most importantly, please pray for each one of the students that the Lord would have to be in the art school... not simply to learn about art, but so that their hearts may be touched by the love of the Lord who is so good and so faithful and so longing to draw those who don't know Him close to Himself in His saving grace.

I'm all about being real & therefore ask for your prayers personally as well. Here at the end of the teams season, I've loved & am thankful for what God's blessed me in being a part of, but can honestly say that if the summer season were to go year-round here, I don't think any of us could do it & keep Jesus as the main thing. I'm recooperating from the tiredness, but still humbly petition your prayers, I guess I don't even know how specifically. Pray that I may continue to hunger & thirst to know & be known by my Lord day by day. I love this verse from Hosea 6:3, "Oh, that we might know the Lord! Let us press on to know Him! Then He will respond to us as surely as the arrival of dawn or the coming of rains in early spring."

May He have His way... His will be done on earth as it is in heaven... starting with each of us...
