Dominican Republic - Thursday

Today has been an incredible day. The team that God put together for this retreat has been so perfect for this season. Today Kathy, Kim, and Deb spoke to the ladies and shared their hearts. Brian, if you are reading this, tell Ben all the ladies love him! They got to see him signing a song with his mom. Carl, today Deb shared on safety. She gave us a list of the top 5 areas where people are injured from a lack of safety awareness.

The top of the list was trips, slips, and falls. Second one was burns and something else and then the rest of the list. I made that top two list by noon on Wednesday by falling down a flight of stairs (with style, I might add) and I by burning my arm with the iron (the bad part is I was not even ironing! Ha,ha,ha we’ll talk.)  Gary, you will be glad to know that Kathy’s message went well as I knew it would! If only she could have known that sooner! Ha,ha

Please pray as Lisa speaks this morning and Deb, Kathy, and I speak again today. Melody, our media person, had a virus get on her computer and lost a lot of content for this retreat and other work she was doing. Please pray for God to restore as much of that as He sees fit! She’ll take all of it but she will settle for any of it!

My dear givers, prayer warriors, and friends of Pure Joy, these women are so LOVING the gifts! The Potato bags have been a big hit. Also, the wash clothes that were handmade were perfect, because as always they do not give you a wash cloth in foreign countries. Can anyone help me understand that? They give you the rest of the towels. Hmmmmmm  

Pray that God continues to minister as we pour into the lives of these women! To all the families of the team members…everyone is doing well.  The warfare here is incredible but our God is Greater!!!

We love you all,

His,

Vickie
