Hold onto HOPE

Recently Rev. Gregg Sneller from International Ministries visited us here in the Dominican Republic. We were able to show him the many aspects of the work going on here and the dreams we have for future work. He sent a letter that offers a view of the many opportunities for short term Missionaries and longer term Missionaries who have a desire to come and be the hands and feet of Jesus. He has given us permission to use his letter to inform you and we thank him.

The subject may not seem very “seasonal,” but it is something that is really on her heart right now as she faces some tough situations. Hopefully her writing will give you a glimpse into the life of an ex-pat kid. And thankfully, Emma is learning what we all need to remember – we have a Wonderful Savior, Emmanuel “God with us,” to whom we will never have to say good-bye.
