We are now almost 3 weeks away from the conference. This is getting very exciting. The plans are coming together. There are 35 men registered . The 35 are made up of 16 Haitian Pastors from the Puerto Plata area on the north shore of the Dominican Republic. Each Pastor has chosen at least one man from their Church family to attend the conference with them. On my last trip to Santo Domingo, I had the privilege of meeting Pastor Wilfred, also a Haitian Pastor. I had recently shared with him that we were still in the process of securing a housing and feeding plan for the men during our conference time. We will be in Santo Domingo, on the south shore of the D R, for 3 days and nights. Pastor Wilfred has graciously offered for us to sleep at his Church. He is also arranging for some women from his congregation to prepare our meals. This is another example of the hospitality of the Haitian community. With these plans now in place we feel that we will be able to cover the cost of each man for only $100. This includes transportation across the island and back, housing, food and a 3 day conference. John MacArthurs ministry has also generously donated French Study Bibles for each man. We had been asking for $200 sponsorship per man but now you will be able to send 2 men to the conference for the same price. This is a great opportunity to invest in to kingdom work and be a part of encouraging our Haitian brothers. We are still looking for help with this support. One other need which is yet to be met is for a volunteer to join us on this trip to help drive one of the vans to the conference. Please prayerfully consider donating to help a Pastor get to this incredible conference, and why not join us and help drive the men and make some new friends at the same time. This will be a life changing trip for all involved !!
