Dominican Republic Update:
The Starkey family has been in Santiago, Dominican Republic, for a month. They are officially all moved into their home except for one last shipment from their house in Haiti, which will arrive shortly. They have been working hard on moving in, getting all their accounts set up, phone numbers, and such there in the DR and starting to learn the area. They found a car and will be able to purchase it this week.
Now that they have moved into their home and are settled, Jim and April spend a few hours each day working on their language lessons. April has also started homeschooling the three oldest boys. Zeke’s school situation is still uncertain and a cause for much prayer.
Please also pray for them as they focus on this part of the ministry now, learning the language to be more effective in ministry there.
In the coming days, they will have their first meeting with the national church committee that RMI is partnering with and will head out into the country to specific areas to assess the needs and determine how RMI can help.
They are still short on monthly support. RMI sent them down on faith! Pray that God will supply the last bit that they lack. You can give at www.rmibridge/donate.
Haiti Update:
Tessa Andrews took a quick furlough trip to visit family and supporting churches this past summer. It was a whirlwind trip but refreshing and well worth the time. She is home now and enjoying being back with her Haitian co-workers and family. Pray for Tessa as she works in the Hope for Kidz Department.
Andrew, Dawn, and Layton Tlucek are staying in the Ft. Myers, FL area while Dawn grows their twins. While her pregnancy is high-risk, Dawn and the babies are doing well. They are fundraising for the Ezra Institute, visiting their supporters, and working remotely while they await the twins’ arrival sometime in December. Pray for Andrew and Dawn as they work to establish the Ezra Institute.
Continue to pray for Haiti. The gangs are firmly entrenched, and the Kenyan forces have been ineffective thus far. We need God to move mountains and break Satan's hold on the country!
