We are going to the Dominican Republic!

Hey! Did you know that my handsome husband and I have an awesome opportunity to go to the Dominican Republic this summer?! Well, it's true. We do. And we are so incredibly excited. 

We are over halfway through with a nine month training school called ATS (Antioch Training School). In my opinion, this class should be a requirement for anyone who loves Jesus. It is intense. We meet once a week corporately and twice a month in small groups for teaching, accountability, and worship through singing. It is has completely changed my life for the better. I 100% recommend it. 

As part of the class, there are two trips planned for this summer for international missions. We have one team doing an exploratory trip to Turkey, and one team going to an established church in the Dominican Republic lead by the fierce and fabulous leaders, Stanley Philippe and his beautiful wife Amarfry. We have had several other teams go to the DR, as we affectionately call it, so our trip will be focusing on strengthening and encouraging the established church, beginning new lifegroups, reaching the lost trapped in addiction and human trafficking, playing with the kiddos, visiting and aiding the poor, helping at the English school, and just spreading the love of Jesus everywhere we go. 

Jacob and I really covet your prayers as we set on this exciting adventure. I am really looking forward to having a lifetime worth of stories to bring back to you about the amazing work God will do in the DR. God loves the Dominican and Haitian people, and we are blessed to be the hands and feet of change for a broken and lost people. 

If you feel led, we would greatly appreciate any financial support. We have a $4000 goal that must be met to make this trip happen.

Here's how you can give:

- I will be sending a newsletter out to some of you with a stamped envelope if you would like to give by check.

- You can give online to http://www.gofundme.com/Garza

By giving to this goal, you will be supporting our team in changing lives. This is not just a distant land. These are people in need of living water that is ready and available for them to accept. 

Thank you, thank you, thank you for all of your encouragement, support, and love. I am looking forward to taking you on this journey with me! Keep checking back for updates!
