Just a few things that Jim and April have been up to in the Dominican Republic...
- They recently spent a few days in Santo Domingo, the capital, to meet with their lawyer about getting our residency visa.
- While there, they met with the leadership of Feed My Starving Children. RMI is working to build a working relationship with them similar to what we have in Haiti. (Pictured: R, Jim Starkey, L, JJ Slag, CEO of Feed My Starving Children)
- Jim has been communicating with the CBD (Convencion Bautista Dominicana) leadership we are working with to figure out what they will do with the two teams coming this fall. They are also meeting with them in a few weeks to create a template for the four specific teams needed and lay out what each week would look like.
- They will also meet with the CBD leadership to discuss what their family can do between teams to help with the churches.
- They are undergoing intense language study. Classes last 1 1/2 - 2 hours each and are held several times a week, with homework on the other days.
- They will contact churches soon about speaking this summer while on furlough.
- April and the boys continue to be very involved in the local homeschool group, building community and making connections.
The Starkeys have quite a bit going on! Pray for them for clarity of thought and stamina.
