He also preaches and teaches the in the church, the community and the prisons, plazas and assists in teaching in two other church plants. Brother Rafael also takes the Gospel to most vulnerable in the community, those who cannot make it to church due to their health or living conditions.

¨ The Lord has put a great responsibility upon me to preach the gospel. I do open air preaching and go to the plazas and prisons. ¨ – Rafael Rodriguez

In Venezuela right now, even professionals are making less than 20 dollars a month and the situation is not getting much better. Crime and poverty makes ministry in Venezuela to be quite challenging. The work of the nationals is of utmost importance in these contexts. Help us support these faithful brothers laboring for the Gospel in difficult places.

 

 

LEONEL RIVIERE, SERVES IN SAVANGE LONGE, HAITI

Leonel served together with Antonio in Esperanza, Dominican Republic. After several years in the DR, Leonel returned to Haiti with his family, where he lost his wife to illness. He serves in Savange Longe and Ouanaminthe, Haiti. He is an evangelist who has a passion for the Gospel and for helping the poor.

Leonel speaks three languages and is in charge of the Bible, food, clothes and medicine distributions in Haiti. He is consistently teaching Bible studies and discipling new believers, and helps translate resources to Haitian Creole. Haiti, which is already unstable, and with the prices of fuel and food continuing to rise in a country with practically no infrastructure and a massive amount of poverty, Leonel, who is a faithful servant, could use the help of some generous brothers and sisters willing to help carry the burden of another brother in Christ. The work of the nationals is of utmost importance in these contexts. Help us support these faithful brothers laboring for the Gospel in difficult places.

 

 

ANTONIO SALGADO,  MISSIONARY TO THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

Missionary, Church planter, Translator, Bible teacher, English teacher, Founder and General Director of Biblical Christian Missionary Society.

Originally from Tampa, Florida, Antonio has served full-time in the Dominican Republic for the last 12 years, working with churches and brothers from the USA, Mexico, Haiti, and Venezuela.

Originally known as the ¨Salgado DR Mission¨, over time and experience working with immigrants from Haiti and Venezuela within the DR, and being a missionary in a foreign country (and the son of an immigrant himself), B.C.M.S. was founded to come alongside and support the work of the nationals as many faithful believers were discovered diligently working in their own contexts, yet lacking  necessities to live and resources to work in the ministry. We then began supporting and working with such individuals and, by God’s grace, naturally expanded into those countries of origin through the same brothers and sisters we already worked with here in the DR.

Soli Deo Gloria.

 

Please pray for our BCMS workers serving faithfully in hard places. May the Gospel continue to go forth, to God be the glory.

 

“I give thanks to my God for every remembrance of you, always praying with joy for all of you in my every prayer, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.” – Philippians 1:3-5
