God is saving souls in the Dominican Republic!

Ministering at the Branch Churches
The pastors that God has had me working with, down here in the Dominican Republic, are all birthing new churches.  Pastor Jimmy Rodriguez, my interpreter’s pastor, has just started a new church in the city of Santiago.  They have no building, but they hold their meetings in a street next to the home of a sister in the church.  There is an open field next to this home and they are believing for God to supply the funds so they could purchase this land and build a church there. 

In the meeting tonight, the presence of God immediately took over.  The Lord was pleading with people to hear His call for salvation.  After I ministered, 8 people responded to this call, giving their lives over to Christ.  Jesus faithfully saved every soul when they called upon His name.  We are all rejoicing here for the great things the Lord is doing.

We were also invited to minister in an open field where the people are believing that God will give them a church building too.  This is in a rural area, a little distance from the city of Santiago.  About 60 chairs were set-up for the first outdoor revival meeting they have ever had in this area.  These chairs filled up very quickly, and other people were standing.  God’s presence fell powerfully, as it has been doing in all of the other meetings.  At the altar call, 13 people gave their life to Christ.  Our God is doing a quick work in bringing many people to himself and preparing them for his soon coming.

Into the Mountains to Minister
We were invited to a cool, mountainous region of the Dominican Republic called Constanza.  The road to get into this area has an incredible amount of sharp curves and steep hills.  There are farms everywhere here and the temperatures dip into the 30’s at night because the elevation is close to 6,000 feet above sea level.  One of our night meetings here was on a dirt road in front of a small local market where a large group of people gathered to hear God’s word.  There were more children than adults in this meeting.  Every seat in the front row was filled with children.  In one seat, 3 children huddled together because it was quite cold.

I preached tonight about how God’s call upon Samuel’s life began as a child.  Every child in this meeting wanted prayer.  14 of them asked Jesus into their heart as their savior, and 7 adults also repented and turned their life over to Christ.

We are getting many invitations from Pastors in various regions of the Dominican Republic to minister in their churches and in large revival meetings.  We are so thankful that God is dealing in so many lives and calling so many people to the foot of the Cross.

God bless you from the Dominican Republic
Rev. George Teachman
