Teens with a Purpose
On April 7th, several dozen teenagers within our ministry gathered together for a one day spiritual retreat. They gathered at a nearby "camp" devoted themselves to studying the Word of God, worshiping Him through music and fellowshipping together. One of our youth leaders, Harold Diaz, did a fantastic job leading the retreat and helping our teens focus their eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith. Through this youth retreat, three young people gave their lives to Jesus Christ. Praise God!
We thank God daily for the leadership we are seeing amongst our national leaders and for their faith and dedication to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
Bible Institute News
On February 19th, we officially began an organized Bible Institute to help us Equip and Empower current and future leaders. We currently have nine students in the Institute studying God’s Word and applying it to their lives and their ministries. The Institute focuses on training these men in three primary areas: The Head, The Heart and the Hands. EDCM has partnered with the Centro de Liderazgo para Lideres which offers 5 online college level Bible classes to equip the students with the knowledge they need to lead (The Head). Every two months, we hold a live workshop in the Dominican Republic that focuses on the spiritual aspects of ministry (The Heart) as well as the practical side of ministry (The Hands).
Next Workshop
Please pray for our next live workshop taking place on April 28th led by Ryan VandeLinde and Jared Mehrle, the Executive Minister of Broadway Christian Church, Mattoon, IL. The focus will be on Discipleship and Leadership.
