ACTIVITIES MADE IN PUERTO PLATA CHURCH OF CHRIST
On May, June, July and August, we celebrated five (5) extra meetings and activities, they were the following: A vigil, a couple meeting, a birthday meeting, a picnic, and a friends meeting. We enjoyed so much about that, and many visitors listened the God’s word, and also they were very happy about that.
TRIPS MADE OUT OF THE PUERTO PLATA CITY
- Brothers Tito Hernández, Luis Alvarez, sister Pascuala and I traveled to Nagua city, to visit several brethren there, and also to visist several people who are studing the God´s word and knowing about the Church of Christ´s doctrine. We celebrated a good meeting there. In Los Limones, Las Sejas and others places of Nagua, there are small groups of brethren, but they haven´t preachers to lead and to teach them. Several years ago, some preachers from Santiago and Santo domingo were visiting them. Brother Luis Alvarez stayed several months there. It needs a support to do a good job there. However, group of preachers from Santo Domingo, and we from Puerto Plata, are planing to make an evangelistic campaign there, and after that to visit them monthly. It´s around two (2) hours and half from Puerto Plata and two hours and half from Santo Domingo approximately. We need to had a working fund to do it, but we hope in God to be able to do it. Nagua is a nice city, and it has grown so much.
- I traveled tu Santiago city, because one of the older preacher from Santiago Church of Christ died of a cancer. His name was José Antonio Peña (Bullo). He made a good job in Santiago and out of the city. I was invited to preach before his burial.
- Brother Marcos Mercado and I traveled to Esperanza city, it´s near of Mao Valverde.We traveled there to visit a family, who is Esperanza Church of Christ´s members. Brother Rafael Blanco and his wife procreated two daughters.When they were young ladies, both of them get to be very sicks for several years. When we went to visit them both of them were alive, but three weeks ago, one of them died. Brother Rafael Blanco has many years working in the Lord in Esperanza, and he and his wife have made a good job there. But they have much tests about their situation with dautghters, who were immersed in Christ several years ago. They are very sad, and they are a poor family. We will be visiting them again to help them in Christ´s love.
- I traveled to Santo Dmingo to participate about a committe meeting, to go ahead preparing works about the next National Conference of the Church of Christ in the Dominican Republic. Next Saturday I will be traveling there, to participate in other working committe to the National Preachers Conference. I´m member of both working committee.
- I traveled to Santo Domingo to participate about the brother Eduard Días´s funeral, who died drowned, because he falled in a hole, when it was raining very much several weeks ago. Several relatives and friend tryed help him, but they coulden´t do it. He had one week that he get to be graduated of engineer in system (computer). He was immersed in Christ several years ago, but in the last months he wasn´t living a right life in the Lord, I´m sorry, but he was visiting the Church, and we hope in God´s mercy about him. His father is the doctor Victor Dias Alba. That family is member of the Ozama Church of Christ, in Santo Domingo, which is one of the bigger congregations in the Dominican Republic. I was invited to preach in the Eduard´s funeral. It was international news by TV, and so on. For two days, hundreds of brethren, preachers, relatives and friends were there. Other preachers also preached there.
BROTHERS, WHO SLEPT IN THE LORD
- Brother Aurelio Veloz, who was member of Imbert Church of Christ, he stayed several years very sick. He was a good brother. His wife is a good christian too. We celebrated several meetings there and many people listened the God´s word.
I´m traveling to imbert Church of Christ monthly , and today (Sunday 28) I did it. Siter Pura who the brother Aurelio´s wife was there. Brother Joel Espinal is travel together at me there each last Sunday of each month.
I´m teaching biblical studies, and participating about the worship there. The brethren from there are very happy about that.
- Felix García from Puerto Plata Church´s member died. He was a good brother. He was brother Luis Alvarez wife´s brother. We celebrated three meetings in the funerary, because he stayed two days there, and also we had other ceremony the day of his funeral (burial).
