In All Your Ways Acknowledge Him

 

In All Your Ways Acknowledge Him




Hello Everybody, 


How powerful, good, and comforting is His Word!


Trust in the LORD with all your heart

In August, we celebrated ten years of living in the 

Dominican Republic as a family.  First, we served on 

the north coast with Makarios.

Do not lean on your own understanding

Now we serve in the mountains

of Jarabacoa with Doulos Discovery School. 

In all your ways acknowledge Him. 

This year, Sam (14 years old) entered high school, plays

soccer and basketball, and also plays bass in our 

church worship band.  

Levi (13 years old) is in his last year of middle school,  

plays soccer, and has a great group of friends. 

Sarah (10 years old) started middle school, has joined

the volleyball team and is hoping to get a perm in

her hair at Christmastime.  

Laurie is the Dean of Discipline which allows her 

the privilege to have heart conversations all day long.

And He will make your paths straight.

We are here for the foreseeable future.  I never imagined

that I would write those words after ten years!  

He will direct our paths.  

-----------------------------

A couple of significant verses to my new role have been 

Proverbs 12:1 (I am considering painting this one on my 

office walls.  haha) and Psalm 51:17



May the students and parents of Doulos

be impacted by the reality of Jesus

Christ through the staff of Doulos.  


May there be a love of knowledge and openness

to correction through a contrite heart. 


THANK YOU for praying for our family.  

Some prayer requests:

--salvation for students and parents of Doulos. 

--housing. We need to move by summer as our 

apartment will be an airb&b.  Please

Pray for reasonable housing at a good

price--not easy these days in Jarabacoa.  

--more support.  Being on the field

9 years longer than anticipated means 

we must grow our support base. 

(The Majcher Family Giving Site )

--counseling degree. Laurie is halfway

through her counseling degree.  She 

feels like she may never end, but

continues to plug along.  Pray for 

perseverance as she pursues this 20+-year

goal. 



Thanks for reading, y’all!!  Also, plan a visit! 🙂


Que Dios les bendiga//May God bless you, 


Joe, Laurie, Sam, Levi and Sarah
