KEEP THE DREAM ALIVE

KEEP THE DREAM ALIVE

Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog. You may be wondering why this is titled "Keep the dream alive" and I hope you are. Just this month, for the first time since I began working with COTN, I realized that after my paychecks this month I will be in the red - meaning, I will have a negative balance in my account because I do not have enough financial support coming in to cover my part time salary. You can see on the left how much I have monthly and how much I need total. That means I need another $565 per month committed. That's a lot! I know it can be done though.

I am praying, and will continue to do so, that God's will is done. I love being a part of this ministry and wish to continue here. Especially since I sit in the Dominican Republic as I write this. Maybe God is calling me away from COTN, and if so then I trust Him. I don't feel that calling though. I feel called to push through and get the funds raised that are needed.

(please keep reading in post "Keep the dream alive")

The supplies are sent!


As you may know, we recently sent a 40 foot shipping container to the Dominican Republic. Praise Jesus! We sent much needed medical supplies as well as some great items for Casa Bethesda! The container included so many wonderful things: Shelves for our bedrooms and bathrooms, new bed spreads, new towels, all sorts of kitchen serving trays and supplies, linens, art for the walls, pretty candles and so much more. These additions will be so helpful as we serve the teams that come down. It also will give our Hospitality students a better feel of a hospitality house.

It looks as of now that I will be travling down in late March to unload the items. Guadalupe, who runs Casa Bethesda, and I get the pleasure of unloading our new gifts, decorating and setting everything up. I will keep you updated as I know more!
