Dana and I arrived at the Embassy Suites, Juan Dolio, Dominican Republic late last night. We had a good trip down even though we had over an hour delay leaving Miami while a mechanical problem was being checked. We went from Birmingham to Miami and then Miami to Santo Domingo. Both flights are +/- 2 hrs so not bad at all. All of our luggage arrived. We had checked 4 large bags, most of which were supplies many of you donated for ministry here. We brought a lot of jewelry making supplies to be used by the ladies here who are coming out of prostitution. This will help them have a way to make a living that honors our LORD. Many gave baby items that will be taken to a maternity ward in Santo Domingo. We make up little packs to give out as we go around and share the gospel with these ladies. The last time we did this we had several to pray to receive Christ. Someone donated gloves and we will give those to be used at the medical clinic at SCORE. Thank you. By sharing in this way you are being the hands and feet of Jesus. I will keep you posted as the week goes along.
The conference starts tonight so we had some time today to relax. Dana has been really busy with work, school and she led music for a ladies’ conference this past weekend. Pray for her, she has been having some sinus problems but seems to be doing better. I’m glad she has this day to rest and recoup.
There are 40+ ladies here from all over the US. We are meeting some here and there. A few of us went on a short shopping trip this morning just to get out for a while. It is a beautiful day here so we will probably go out by the pool and read and rest after lunch.
This is an all inclusive conference so all of our meals are covered and provided here at the Embassy. Hopefully they will do this again and more of you will take advantage of this opportunity.
Thank you for your prayers for our safe arrival. Our speaker this week is author and speaker Ellen Vaughn and our own Dana Starnes is leading the music. We are looking forward to what God will do this week.
