Santo Domingo Leadership Training Conference Begins Strong ~ 11/15

Truth Connect is in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic November 18 - 20, 2015 to conduct a Leadership Training Conference (LTC).  Pastor Bazile,  Simeus Paulimus, Karen and I arrived in Santo Domingo last evening from Cap Haitien, Haiti.  We had been in Cap for the past week serving with a Mission Discovery / HOLD the children mission team (see previous post).  We boarded the bus in Cap at 8am and arrived into Santo Domingo 9 hours later.  We dropped our bags at the hotel and went directly to the church to begin the LTC.

Pastor Acegene Dumerver and the Iglesia de Jesus Cristo are hosting the conference.  Pastor Dumerver is a Haitian pastor who ministers primarily to the Haitian community living and working in the D.R.  The LTC began strong with approximately 50 leaders in attendance.  It is a joy for Truth Connect serve the church in Dominican Republic,

We began our bus trip in Cap Haitien and ended in Santo Domingo.

A very nice bus and a really long trip. I put it into perspective by thinking of the Apostle Paul traveling by ship for months at a time ~ 9 hours on the bus is a small thing.


Pastor and Mrs. Acegene Dumerver ~ our most gracious hosts.

Day 1 of the LTC I am teaching Biblical leadership principles and Pastor Bazile interprets for me.

There are approximately 50 church leaders at the LTC.
