There are 5000 sugarcane villages in the eastern part of the Dominican Republic. The vast majority of the people living in those villages have never once heard the gospel.

That’s what these Domincan pastors and missionaries told us as we sat around the table after church last night. All I could think was this: I’ve got to go and tell them about Christ!

When I shared my ministry goals with them, they said they and others would be more than willing to go with me and bring the gospel to more people in those villages who have never heard.

What are XME’s ministry goals? They are simple:

1. To do the work of an evangelist and preach Christ to those who have never heard.

2. To do the work of discipleship by establishing an indigenous and dependable source of training for those who trust Christ.

3. To believe Christ when He said that He would build His church. For some of the isolated and remote places it might seem humanly impossible that a church could ever be established. We make our plans, and allow God to supercede them.

Thanks to Pastor Nate Peterson of Adirondack Baptist Church,  in upstate New York for hosting and traveling with these men from the Dominican Republic.

Thanks also to Dominican missionaries Jair and Mely Muñoz for following Christ and establishing the Timothy Project Ministry in the Dominica Republic.
