REFLECTIONS

During this season of our lives, we are spending some significant time state-side. We feel blessed to have the opportuniy to spend extra time with our sweet friends and family. It has been so nice to have lunches and dinners with supporters to thank them for their continued generosity, love and encouragement! We've had wonderful opportunities to meet with churches and Pastors about G.O. Ministries and share the big things that God continues to do in the Dominican Republic and Haiti! We love being a part of the body of Christ and seeing Him work in the lives of the people we love. God is good.

We fully understand that He allows us to endure trials to draw closer to Him. He is our continued source of strength and peace. We grip firmly on to this strength during this season that we are in.

He continues to reveal His wonder. He is so gracious and kind by allowing us a few weeks to return to where our heart beat is....the island of Hispaniola. He gave us three beautiful weeks there in February. That time was packed full!

We have included a few pictures to reflect our time spent in the DR.
