Vida Estudiantil
Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic our students in evangelism and discipleship. S e c o n d l y, o u r student-leaders really stepped up in ownership of the movement, and have done very well in leading several activities of the movement, especially our weekly meetings (comprised of prayer, testimony sharing, fun game, message, and sometimes worship). Thirdly, communion and unity within the movement has been healthy and attractive, and several new students have involved themselves in the group simply from having felt welcomed and wanted. Fourthly, we had three effective outreaches where the Gospel was shared to mass numbers of students. The climax of our semester is always our Christmas dinner. This year students showed up to perform dances, dramas, and worship. We ate well, danced, and took lots of photos for Facebook (group pic on left). So many came, yet this is only a fraction of how big the movement is. It was especially meaningful to me to see the student-leaders we entrusted the movement to back when I was here the first time in 2009 to still be involved (pic left). Seeing fruit like this surpasses my understanding, and makes me love God all the more.

Ministry Update
Its finally the end of December, and I find it strange that instead of sweaters Im still wearing Tshirts!

Jesus + Nothing = Everything

Simple equation; profound implications, all on the basis of our faith and Gods grace. And this is it spelled out in black & white. Either Jesus is not everything, and I secure for myself approval, acceptance, significance, and meaning through legalistic self-righteousness or rebellious disobedience, or I believe that Jesus is everything when it tells me that Christ has secured and sustains all that I could ever want or need.
