Pray for Divine Appointments in Santo Domingo

Once again we are preparing for a short term mission to Santo Domingo this Friday, September 2-12,2011. Our medical bags are packed and we still have room for school supplies if anyone is interested in donating items.
On this trip we have several goals that we are asking you to pray about. Our foremost desire is to proclaim the Good News of the Gospel of the Kingdom to as many as possible. Our medical clinics, this time in rural, very poor Constanza,DR will be primarily relief to believers but also an opportunity to reach others with the love of Christ so that we might have opportunity to preach. In every trip there are many who pray to receive Christ as Lord and Savior.
Ministry that focuses on the poor has a two-fold purpose. One is to bring relief to God's people, those He says are the least of His brethren. Some would interject that all people are God's children and in one sense that is true, but we are told in the Scriptures to do good to all, especially to those of the household of faith. However, while we minister to the poor of God's people there is often opportunity to reach others who come and are in need. In that case they taste and see that the Lord is good, and then they hear the message. The Scripture says "faith comes by hearing and hearing from the Word of God". How can they repent if they do not hear? How can they hear if one is not sent? It is by the foolishness of preaching that God chooses to reach those elected to eternal life. Central to ministry to the poor is prayer and preaching and healing. This holistic approach is comprehensive and upholds both the Great Commission and the Great Commandment.
Seven men are going to be available to the leading of the Lord and we are in need of prayer cover and warfare. We understand that Satan will not stand by and let us exploit his territory without a fight. We are quite used to that. We covet your prayer and trust God will bring fruit that remains from our endeavors.
We will try to remain in touch through Facebook. Just hit the badge OAO/Kairos Caribe on the right side panel to join our real time discussion.
Blessings in His Precious Name,
