Our annual fundraising banquets provide much-needed income for the ministry. This year, both banquets will be held in the Fall. So please circle your calendars for

Oct 29th – The Good Neighbours Club in Belle River, and
Nov 5th – St. Andrews Presbyterian Church, Etobicoke.

Tickets will be $20 for a wonderful meal, followed by a presentation, and door prizes. Please pray for God’s blessing on all the planning involved. If you’d like to help, please email Mark Sweeney (Oct 29), or Karen Maier (Nov 5).

From both myself & the DR team - Thank you for your support and encouragement!

In His Service,

“You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you.” Psalm 32:7-8

What an encouragement these verses have always been to me. After 17 yrs in ministry in Puerto Plata, I can truly say that God has indeed been my protection, watching over me, giving guidance, and bringing good people across my path to work alongside me to help minister to the people of the Dominican Republic & Haiti.

I’m thankful for each one of you that works with me to bring the good news of the gospel to the people of the DR and Haiti. I Cor. 3:8-9 speaks of one person sowing, while others plant, water or reap the harvest. God rarely asks us to walk alone in the tasks He calls us to do. Each one of us has special giftings and abilities, and God wants us to work together for His glory.

Summer Update

After the devastating earthquake that hit Haiti on January 12th, a number of you sent funds to the ministry, specifically designated to help the Haitian people. Thank you to all who gave sacrificially so that we could purchase much-needed supplies to take across the border.

Thank you so much for your prayers and support for me while I was in India from January 5th – 30th. I accompanied missionary Faith Splane from Gospel of Christ Outreach, India, on a whirlwind tour of the southern part of the country which included Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andrapadesh, Vizag, Godavari, and the border area of Orissa.
