DownLine Ministries is partnering with Bill Stephenson in the Dominican Republic.
Here is what Bill writes about the upcoming conference, "We are excited about our next adventure to the Dominican Republic. Eugene Chang and Bill Stephenson are leaving on Monday Aug 16 for one week. We will be making final preparations for the arrival of the team from Downline Ministries from Tennessee. The Downline team will be arriving on Wed Aug 18 and will begin a 2 1/2 day Discipleship training conference. We are so thankful for their willingness to give of their time and resources to bring this incredibly valuable training to the Haitian Pastors in the D R. Rosvelt Petit ( our "main man" on the ground in the D R ) has been working hard on translating the Downline Student Guide workbook into Creole. This is currently in the hands of the printers. I am super excited to be having Eugene join me on this trip. He is an absolute answer to prayer. He will be responsible for video taping the entire training sessions. The result of this will be that Downline Ministry will now have a workbook and training DVD's for future use in the Creole language for the Haitian people.
We are anticipating a large attendance for the upcoming training. Rosvelt has told us to expect well over 100 Haitians to be arriving. There will be about 30-40 Haitian Pastors , each bringing 3-5 of their key people. Some will be coming from Haiti, but most will be local Haitian Pastors on the North Shore, Puerto Plata/Sosua areas.
Please be in prayer for this conference and for those leading and all attending. Our prayer is that God will be glorified and that His name would be great among the nations as a result of the training conference next week."
