Familia! We have another great testimony. God is good and faithful, and its worth leaving everything for Him.

This is a sign that we made and printed and is in front of the school we just finished.

Its importante for you to know, that it wasn't with financial donations. We just simply brought a man from the capital, and he felt confronted that outsiders were helping his country and he wasn't. He returned to Santo Domingo and contacted all his friends and by God's grace and favor we finished one classroom and are working on finishing the 2nd one!

Thank God we are ok.

We were in the midst of hurricane Noel in Santo Domingo and could not reach our town - Juan Santiago. The bridge that connects Santo Domingo with the south part of the country, which includes our project, two bridges colapsed.

In the town of Bani and Azua. Both towns must be crossed to reach our project. 66 dead of being choked by mud or water, 27 have dissappeared. 2,300 families are stranded from there loved ones.

Please, pray for Dominican Republic. It's one thing to hear the stories, but another is to live it like we did. We love the poor. It's our life mission! And i'm personally heartbrokend I could not reach them in this trip.

By the beginning of 08' we should be returning to innagurate the property.

Help us pay it off? We are only $3,800. away.

We really desire to be out there and not worry about fundraising.

Help us by referring us. Anyone is welcome to come and visit with us.

We had actually bought paint on Saturday when we arrived to paint the Children's Center. It's a 3 bedroom home with a kitchen. and we had also sent to print a large banner, measuring 5 x 10'with the names of every donor that has helped us from the beginning to fulfil this dream, this desire God put in our hearts.

November 11 or so, we will be returning to Colombia.
Trying to establish the model we have done in D.R.

::: ESPANOL 66 muertos y 27 desaparecidos, estuvimos en medio de esta tormenta, recien llagamos ayer.es una cosa ver la noticias amados, pero vivirlo, Dios mio, que tristesa nos ha dado vivir esto.un pueblo ahogado por ludo y agua.

Es un pais muy pobre, y las condiciones son mal en todo el pais. Nos dio una tristeza no poder llegar a nuestro projecto.

Los puentes que conectan la ciudad de Santo Domingo con el Sur, cayeron, en el pueblo de Bani y Azua. Oren por el pueblo Dominicano.. y ayudenos a poder tener las finansas, los fundos para un dia poder quedarnos y ayudar tiempo completo...

What a $100 can do...

There are 3 children that are almost completely blind in the village where we work in the Dominican Republic. They have never been to see a doctor because their parents don't have the money for it nor a car to transport them there an hour ride over dirt roads.

With just a $100 of donated money we were able to schedule all three kids for an appointment with the doctor and organize transportation for them.

Please keep these kids Yanedi, Griselda and little Manuela in your prayers as they travel for the very first time to the hospital this month to have their eyes checked out.

Thank you all!!

*We need your support to be able to take care of other kids with needs in the village, please visit our website to see donation options.

Friends, thank you for visiting our blog to keep up with the trips.

Our trip to Dominican Republic was for 2 weeks, but, we ended up staying a month to finish fencing the property. As you can see in the picture we invited all the children. We gave away coloring books, over 150 of them, played games and just laughed together.

Something that really touched me was, a couple of them saw me packing-up to leave and they asked "Jorge are you leaving? We are going to miss you!" That really touched my heart and reminded me that all the work, the sweat that goes into helping the poor and children is worth it. Yes, at times it does get lonely. Since we are only 2 years old, we can't afford to take other volunteers with me. At times it does get over whelming, but again, I would not trade what i do for all the money in the world, and I know some day soon we will be blessed, and be able to take a team.

The second picture is the home we built and donated last year. I painted it in this recent trip. For the first time the kids that live in this home were smiling. So thank you once again sponsors, because of you, we are able to go and do what we do!

I will be traveling to our precious project in Dominican Republic on the 19th of April...

Spirit Air had an amazing special! Only 74 one way and 8 dollars for the return... of course, international flights add large int´l tax rates, but anyway we are happy to have found a great price like this.

And very exciting news! We are invited to speak at a local TV Station on behalf of the children we work with in Juan Santiago, Domiincan Republic. Then, I will head out to our project to paint the home we built in nov 06´and to fence our land preparing it for the construction. (See the pictures from previous trip here.)

We know that we are very close, God has been faithful. I will be there until may 6th. Please keep us in your prayers... :)

And Thank you!! Thank you for just being here with us... for your support and encouragement!

Nazirite team....

Hello friends!!

We are back! And wanted to update you on our missions trip. We arrived Sunday evening. Words cannot express how great God was with us. Too much to mention. Once again, the citizens, the poor left us speechless with their kindness. Thank you to Fellowship of the Holy Spirit in Califorina for their support, for their generosity. Without them we could not make most of our trips and donate clothing.

Thank you to our staff, Andres abd Martha for their support while I'm away. In getting our 2nd group ready. Thanks to Alla for donating a new tv from target for one of the families. Second to those that went with us and made such a huge effort in paying our way and donating their time and hard earn money. Thank you also to Pastor Chris and Ekklesia Miami for sponsoring our trip, Kevin, Franco, Milton and Martha. Also to Dr. Daisy who lives in Santo Dominigo and who escorted us to our project.
We had 2 groups. The 1st we left last Sunday. The 2nd arrived on Friday. So we made two exhausting trips to our project from the capital (Santo Domingo). We were blessed to have transportation (Honda CRV) to travel to our project site. A local family lend us the vehicle!! When they heard of what we do for their country, they wanted to help. And thus gave us one of their vehicles. For our 2nd trip which was Friday, Kevin blessed us with a rented mini van. ($90. a day! very expensive) We are praying for a donated mini van in Dominican Republic or one we can ship to D.R. We already have a person who works in exporting cars to D.R.

We had so many bags of clothes, that we couldn't have done it without these 2 unexpected blessings! Thus, our trip had minimal expenses. Elimitating more expenses, we were able to stay in our project site with our tent. One of the pictures, you'll see that we took a tent to our donated land. It is here were we plan to build a small cabin or shack for us to stay in and have more visitors. It will measure about 20 feet by 12 feet approx. Made of wood. We are trying to finalize the documentation to be able to build this small home for us, for you to visit and for missionaries to visit and stay.
As we began to build the tent, many children and adults came. Laughing, joking, saying things like "Its prettier then our home" they clapped when they saw we raised a home in 15 minutes... It was a memorable moment as they had never seen a tent before! It really touched my heart... What I personally loved the best is this, they were touched to see us live like them. Staying with them, not just going and dropping off gifts, but living among them.

As many of you know, what sets us apart is that the director, Jorge, actually does all the trips and plans all of the trips to bring awareness of the poverty of these children and children worldwide. We are a hands-on foundation. We are working hard to gain funds for our Colombia trip. Which is a 2 months project. (http://www.nchild.org/childrenincolombia.htm)

The vision of Colombia is to have a soccer field, and an orphanage. To bring children from 1 to 10 to live from all over the country. In our May - July trip of this year we met professional soccer players. I had no idea there was a meaningful purpose behind this. By the way, I will be returning in 2 weeks to Dominican Republic. A local church needs bibles. Thus out of 50, only 1 had a bible and out of those 50 only 15% can read. We are looking for donors, partners to donate cd players with rechargeble batteries.

If you are able to sponsor our D.R. trip in 2 weeks, you can donate online http://www.nchild.org/donation.htm


Until soon!!

Buenos dias!! Como estan??

Primero quiero agradecer a nuestro equipo, Andres y Martha por su apoyo y trabajo de organizar el 2nd groupo cuando ya yo estaba en Republica. Quemos agradecer a la iglesia Ekklesia por patrocinar nuestro viaje. A la iglesia de California Fellowship of the Holy Spirit.

El Pastor Jon y Reina. A los que hicieron un gran esfuerzo para ir, Pastor Chris, Franco, Kevin, Milton y Martha. A las personas que donaron rupa, el televisor - gracias Alla, ella no nos conoce, como muchos que donan.

Fue un viaje que no tenemos palabras. Demaciadas bendiciones, incluyendo un Honda CRV y una mini van. Primera vez que manejo en Republica... llegamos super cansados. Fue un viaje de mucho corre corre. Porque llegaban 2 grupos separados. El pastor Chris de Ekklesia fue con nosotros y fue de gran bendicion. Hicimos una pregunta de cuantos tienen biblia, solo una persona. Y un 10% solo lee espanol. Necesitamos biblias y equipos de sonidos para donar.

Me gustaria saber de ustedes, lo que piensan, sus comentarios, porque nos anima mucho.

We would love to hear from you... To hear what you think, your comments, because this really motivates us. We hope you can take the time and write. We don't hear from 90% of you, so we hope you can write us a little something this time... :)
Jorge and team
