Our Dominican Missionaries - fun!

Kissayris ready to square dance.

What a joy it is to be part of building Christ's kingdom in the DR!  The missionaries here are exceptional; we truly see the face of Jesus in them, as they humbly witness to Him & serve people.

Danelle Putnam ministers to people with developmental disabilities and their families.  Kissayris Gebhard is the Principal at the Concordia school, where our work is focused and the community outreach dance event was held.  They surprised up by showing up in outfits appropriate for Square Dancing... which none of us visitors was really dressed for.

Even Pastor Walter (Ries) showed us that he not only preaches the Word powerfully, but he can grill, dance and joke.  
His wife Ana is busy with university classes, but participates when she can.
