A New Month and a day I'll always remember

Today was our last day here in the Dominican Republic. It is also a day I will never forget. God spoke to me in some significant ways here today and He said some things to my heart that must remain there for now. I experienced the world that God created in some great ways today. I had the chance to speak about the importance of the name of Jesus to about 20 adults in another place that shouts out hopelessness, but somehow over the noise I was able to share about the name of Jesus. A lady there wants to know more about following Jesus, and I am thankful I could be a part of that. God reminds me of so many things when I come here...what is really important in life, the need to have friends that you can rely on, the joy that Christ brings into people's lives (especially those who have little else by our standards). I will go home to face new challenges, a new month, almost a new year, and I am thankful for this time that God has used in a significant way in my life. Thanks to those of you who prayed for us.
