To See The Glory » Dominican Republic http://www.toseetheglory.org Our walk with the Lord and our desire To See the Glory Wed, 08 Sep 2010 15:44:50 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 2 week short-term Mission trip to the D.R. http://www.toseetheglory.org/dominican-republic-plans/2-week-short-term-mission-trip-to-the-dr/ http://www.toseetheglory.org/dominican-republic-plans/2-week-short-term-mission-trip-to-the-dr/#comments Thu, 01 May 2008 01:39:36 +0000 Shawn http://www.toseetheglory.org/dominican-republic-plans/2-week-short-term-mission-trip-to-the-dr/ Well, we still have the house, so right now we are just planning on going for a short-term trip in June. This trip will be about 2 weeks and we will be going to the new building in Santa Domingo, Dominican Republic.

Currently we are raising funds for this trip, so if you are so inclined to help donations can be made to Helping Hands International here in Medford, Oregon. This trip, like many will be a combination of working on the facility there, ministering on the streets (or towns) and possibly doing something for a needy family.  The plans are never set in stone, since we have to go on faith. That is one of the cool things about the trips, we get to see God do miracles.

This Saturday, May 3rd is the jogathon, if you want to pledge per lap or just a flat amount. Jessica plans on running about 24 laps, I…. well, she will probably be lapping me since I haven’t ran any distance for quite some time.

Please pray for us and the others going on this trip. There will be a few from Cascade High School going, but none of our kids will go with us this time. The kids will enjoy a couple of weeks being spoiled by grandparents.

Jessica and I both have felt the call on our hearts to move their to minister to the people. We are very excited about this call even though it is a giant step for us to take. When we bought the house we are in now, we thought this would be the last move for many years, but you know what they say about making plans and God laughing.

Anyway, we want to keep everyone in the loop. We really aren’t quite sure about raising support for us to live there, we will still be pulling some income from our business (www.northwestgifts.com and www.urnsnw.com) but will be needing more than that to live on. Our desire, though, is to be asking for support when it comes to a particular project or ministry need.

Currently we are waiting for a buyer for our house, which most people’s first response is how bad the market is. Well, good news, we don’t have to worry about a housing market – If God called us to go, He surely can handle selling a house. So, if you know anyone needing a large house for say a big family with lots of kids – see here: House for sale

Stay tuned here or leave us a comment below.

Blessings,

Shawn
