Rejoicing in Heaven
Luke 15:7
“I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.”
We recently celebrated six baptisms in the La Romana Christian Church; a display of faith that we know is coming from the work God is doing here. Under the leadership of Jovanny and Leticia Baez, the church is growing spiritually and friends are helping lead each other to Christ!
Jovanny Baez
(wife Leticia, children: Nashlie, Saimon, Sianny)
Jovanny has been the lead minister of La Romana Christian Church since January 2013. Jovanny’s leadership has really shown through as the congregation is studying God’s Word and growing spiritually. We praise God for bringing us such wonderful leaders like Jovanny and Leticia!

“A New Year of Hope…”
(for the Village of Hope)
———————————————
This fall marks the second year of Colegio Color
Esperanza, our preschool through 7th grade Christian
school in Punta Cana. Last year we had around 100 students and this year we have a record attendance of 258 students! Franklin and Ilonka Francisco have continued to lead, and we see that God is blessing the school and giving the local church a great avenue to minister to the entire community through it.

Micah’s Minute

| Me & Analise |
Mi Hermanita
Well, most of you now know that I have a new little sister. Her name is Analise Grace and she is awesome! She is so chunky and squishy, I just love her. I love to hold her, however, it makes my dad really nervous. He usually stays close by when I am holding her.
One of my favorite things to do with Analise is to make silly faces and make her smile. I love her smile because she has really chunky cheeks and she is so cute when she smiles.
Anyway, I love having a little sister. This is a picture of us hanging out at the beach. See ya later!

Josiah’s Jot
Yo, ho, let’s go! That’s right, I have a birthday
recently and it was a Jake party! I dressed up like Jake and all of my friends wore Jake masks too! It was awesome! We also
had a piñata that we had to brake open to get the candy.
My Nani sent me a
new costume for my
birthday and it was a Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtle.
I ripped open the package and put it on immediately. Watch out everybody, I am a “Hero in a half-shell.”
