Ministry Location: The Dominican Republic
Ministry Focus: We will be joining up with Every Day Ministries Canada (EDMC) who partners with local evangelical pastors and leaders on the northeast coast of the Dominican Republic to equip, empower, and encourage them, their families, churches, and communities through leadership development, community development and land development so they can more effectively preach the gospel and make disciples.
Trent will be filling the role of Project Manager for EDMC. Trent has 16 years’ experience in Research/Product Development in the Oil and Gas Sector, 8 years in Project Management in the Construction Industry and has his Project Management Professional credentials. These skills will be put to use in the following ways:
- Oversee all aspects of the 4-phase development plan for the 27 acres of property. Transforming this land from an area of pastureland and fruit trees to a Missions and Training Centre buzzing with activity and facilitating the equipping, empowering, and transformation of countless pastors, leaders, congregations, and communities.
- Oversee the work projects in the Transformation Ministry for local community house, woodworking shop and playground construction.
- Oversee the construction of church projects.
Rhonda will be assisting Trent in the various projects and construction administrative needs. She also has a great passion to reach and help with family, youth and children needs.
Ministry History: We are so pleased to be returning to International Missions. Our first time to serve and obey God’s call was to help run a 110 plus children orphanage in Tanzania, Africa from 2006 to 2009. Our whole family experienced this remarkable time to see God’s love and mercy extended to the most needy and helpless in our world: this changed us all forever. Now having another opportunity to serve the local people in the Dominican Republic and team up with EDMC has brought great joy and excitement.
Prayer Requests:
- Please pray for safety, health and wisdom as we transition into our overseas service.
- Pray for us as we enter 1 year of Spanish language training in Costa Rica.
- Funding for special projects in the Dominican Republic.
- Pray for additional ministry partners to come along side us - to share in missions together.
