Dominican Republic Mission Trip 2010

Hello friends and family!

This is the first post for our upcoming 2010 trip with Children of the Nations, to the Dominican Republic. God is preparing our hearts for this mission. I'm also posting updates on Facebook. "Like" us at Woodward's Dominican Republic Mission 2010.

I am reading Peter's letter to followers all over the ancient world in the 1st century and it spoke to me today. There is a link here to our fast approaching mission trip which speaks to the why we are going. Thank you for joining us in prayer for this trip. Here is the letter and I think you will see the heart link for us....

Everything in the world is about to be wrapped up, so take nothing for granted. Stay wide-awake in prayer. Most of all, love each other as if your life depended on it. Love makes up for practically anything. Be quick to give a meal to the hungry, a bed to the homeless—cheerfully. Be generous with the different things God gave you, passing them around so all get in on it: if words, let it be God's words; if help, let it be God's hearty help. That way, God's bright presence will be evident in everything through Jesus, and he'll get all the credit as the One mighty in everything—encores to the end of time. Oh, yes! 1 Peter 4:7-11

Would you prayerfully consider giving to this mission? We are asking God to provide for our travel expenses and our lodging costs during our six week stay. Here is a link you can use to donate online...http://www.cotni.org/opportunities/9

We are thanking God for his leading us back to the Haitian people and our COTN staff friends. We are excited to see the new relationships He will build and renewed connections with old friends.

That is all for now. Thanks for your prayers and giving.

Love,

The Woodward family
