Jim from IGO comes to visit.

Jim Odens, pastor of Oakridge Community Church in Stillwater, MN and president the mission organization IGO Worldwide that I am a part of, came to visit early in December.  He spent a week with us, getting to know a little more about our ministry here in the Dominican Republic. It was great having Jim here, sharing with him about what God is doing and learning from his wisdom and experiences.  As I've said before, I am so thankful to be a part of an organization that cares so much about their global partners and the ministries that they are involved in.

This community does not have electricity or a building, but that doesn't stop them from
worshipping and seeking the Lord through His Word.     

One evening the youth gathered in my home, and Jim shared with them a bit about "calling" and
then invited the youth to ask questions.  This turned into a really neat time.  The youth asked all
sorts of questions and Jim spoke words of wisdom.  We all were blessed by the experience. 
  

These were just a few highlights from Jim's time here in the Dominican Republic.  There were many more special moments.  Thank you Jim and IGO Worldwide for your visit.   Please come again, soon!  Que Dios le bendiga!
