From our apartment roof

       This week was the last week for having American groups here for the summer. We enjoyed getting to know a lot of new people & spending time sharing life with them here in the Dominican. It was wonderful to have extra hands helping out in the bateys! We are going to miss everyone & count it a blessing that we were able to have them here :)

Moving forward... we have 5 more weeks of VBS ministry in Lima & Pinones. These next 5 weeks are an area where we're going to need your prayers. The kids in the bateys have spent the last 4 weeks being able to play with lots of people, enjoy new toys, & make a craft everyday. Now that the groups are gone, it will be Pam, the Hilgeman boys, the Simos' kids, & us (the Clines). We will not be doing a craft, & we have made it a point not to make our relationship built around giving them things. So... it will be a drastic change in what they've become used to. Please pray that the kids will respond positively to the change,  and that we continue to make progress in our relationships.

We love you all and we encourage everyone to consider when you might think it would be a good time to come and visit ;)

PS.  If you haven't been following "Around Freedom in 60 Seconds" you should check it out on http://itisforfreedom.com  (top right hand corner of homepage) We just posted week 5's video about 10 minutes ago.  It is a great way to quickly stay involved.
