The Warden Family: Dominican Republic

Dominican Republic:

After the 2 weeks in Guatemala, John traveled to the island of Hispanola to attend a conference in the Dominican Republic. The time in the DR was split between 2 objetives. The first objective was to attend the Harvest Latin American Regional Conference. Harvest is a church strengthening organization that focuses on the training of indigenous pastors in wholistic ministry principles. John has been working closely with Harvest throughout his time in Bolivia and decided to attend the conference with 3 other Bolivian pastors. The 5 day conference was encouraging and uplifting and a great time to fellowship with other Latin American pastors and leaders. Great friendships were made, and John appreciated the time to learn more about what Harvest is doing and how God is using the organization to build up the local church around the world.

The second half of the trip was to work with the FH DR office. Similar to his time in Guatemala, John spent several days training the FH DR staff on the curriclum he has been developing. Getting to know the FH DR staff was a blessing, and John was very encouraged to partner with them and share some of these core organizational principles. God is doing some great things in the DR and we look forward to seeing where he takes them next.

On a side note the DR was incredibly hot. If you plan on taking a trip to the DR in July…. make sure you book a hotel with air conditioning. John learned the hard way!
