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

So grateful that we get to do "time" with y'all. God is good and so faithful.
