Dear mission partners, friends, brothers and sisters in Christ,

It is unbelievable how fast this year seems to be going by. In just three months we will have been here for three years now! We have been working hard at the church and praying for God to be glorified, and we are starting to see Him move. Little by little we are seeing new faces visiting the church, and some of them returning week after week. We have a new family that is interested in joining the church as well. Christen and I visited their humble home to get to know them better and ask them some questions about their family and see where they are spiritually. It will be a huge blessing to have another family added to the church’s core group. Continue reading “Salgado DR Mission Newsletter”

Dear mission partners, friends, brothers and sisters in Christ,

Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. First of all, thank you to all the people who regularly pray for and give towards our family and mission, and who God has used to keep us here on the ground doing ministry. Thank you and God bless you! There is so much to be thankful for and so much that the Lord has done as of late that it is difficult to know where to begin, but here’s an update on what we have been up to lately.

Dear friends, mission partners, brothers and sisters in Christ,

Another year has come and gone. By God’s grace, His unmerited favor, we are here. As we reflect on all the Lord has done and allowed us to be a part of since we have come here to serve and proclaim, we are left in awe of Him. The people’s lives we have had the opportunity to speak into, the many places we have had the opportunity proclaim Christ and His Gospel, the many Bible studies and lessons I have had the privilege to teach to young believers and see them grow, the divine appointments with people that the Lord has used to bring about so many things like the land and church building in Boruco.

Dear mission partners, friends, brothers and sisters in Christ,

Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord (Ephesians.1:2). Time is flying and it is hard to believe that this is already the third Christmas that our family will spend here. God has been faithful and we give thanks unto Him. We are thankful for His provision, thankful for His promises, and thankful for His love. We are also thankful for every one of our supporters that God was pleased to use as instruments of provision, those who faithfully pray for and sacrificially give towards our missionary endeavors here in the DR. Thank you. Continue reading “Salgado DR Mission Newsletter”

Dear friends, mission partners, brothers and sisters in Christ,

Thank you for your faithful giving and prayers. We are so very grateful for those the Lord has given us as supporters and for the way our family and ministry is prayed for by many so frequently. We are blessed, thank you.

Since our move from Esperanza to Santiago, we have done much praying as to some of the details on our new assignment. Sometimes, thinking we would  doing “this” when in fact, what the Lord had planned was “that”. It has been interesting looking back now and seeing how the Lord used people and circumstances to guide us to the just the place He would have us. Continue reading “Salgado DR Mission Newletter”

Dear friends, mission partners, brothers and sisters in Christ,

Those of you who follow us on facebook may be up to date on the transition we are in as a ministry. We have been moving our family and belongings to another rental home we were able to find rather quickly, praise the Lord. We are now in the city of Santiago. While we adjust to the change of a new home and new people, we are looking forward to this new chapter of ministry and the new people God is bringing into our lives.

Dear mission partners, friends, brothers and sisters in Christ,

Well, July has come and gone and much had happened here and in our personal lives as well. I know many were praying for us and asking how we were doing since the chikunguya virus episode. Almost everyone we know here has had it or someone in their house has. Even our friend Kerianne from Ocala, who paid us a visit and stayed here with us for a month , came down with it. Everyone in our family except for our daughter Maya has had it. But, we are all feeling better now and pretty much back to normal. Thank you all for the prayers and concerns.

As always, we have been praying about how to make the best use of the time the Lord has given us here and trying to remain sensitive to any changes that may need to be made in order to best honor and glorify God. Continue reading “Salgado DR Mission Newsletter”

Dear mission partners, friends, brothers and sisters in Christ. Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord. Many of you  may have heard about the outbreak of the chikunguya  virus that is transmitted  through mosquitoes  that is all over the Caribbean and has made its way to the United States. There are lots of mosquitoes here and many of our brothers and sisters in the churches here have contracted the virus.  It causes a high fever, pain in the joints, headaches, and a rash. Some people get over it quickly but others have the symptoms for months. Continue reading “Salgado DR Mission Newsletter”

Dear mission partners, friends, and brothers and sisters. Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Summer has now arrived. and with the Summer comes the visits from our short term missionary friends. The first team that came was a special group. The team was from First Baptist of Fall Branch Tennessee and was lead by Pastor Shawn Cutshall. This was this church’s first international mission trip. It was a pleasure to watch and serve with these brothers and sisters. It reminded me of my first mission trip years ago, and it was Pastor Shawn who lead that trip also when he was the Pastor of our sending church. They came and did a great job ministering  and meeting needs of the people here. There are many needs here, but their greatest need is Christ. Continue reading “Salgado DR Mission Newsletter”
