A Beautiful Partnership
The mission statement of G.O. Ministries is "to partner with Nationals through short-term missions". It is so amazing to see first hand the beauty of a Partnership.
Brian and Melissa Hyma (Audrey's sister and brother-in-law) partner with Felix Florentino. Felix is a hard working Dominican man who works on the construction team for G.O. Ministries. He helps build churches, feeding centers and homes. He is a tender-hearted Christian man who strives daily to become more like Christ.
Because of this partnership, Felix is able to do full time ministry and does not have to scrape by trying to find a second job to do on the side to support himself. Felix has recently made some tough decisions that go "against the culture" to set himself apart. He has couragiously stepped out on faith to show his love and committment to walking side by side with our God!
Brian and Melissa were here visiting last week and were able to spend some sweet time visiting Felix and encouraging him in his faith, his work, and his decision to live a life pleasing to Christ. Thank you Melissa and Brian for your gracious hearts and humble spirits!
Felix was also able to meet his "sobrina" niece for the first time. Nora Kate Hyma! Nora is truly a special gift from God. Brian and Melissa adopted her into their family a little over a year ago. Felix prayed without ceasing while the adoption process was taking place. He was nothing but smiles when he held her! He saw God's faithfulness directly in front of him.
In saying all of this...you can see why I say this is a "Beautiful Partnership".
Thank you God for your beauty and for your unconditional love for us!
