Forward in Faith Dominican Republic is here!  God will not cease establishing His great work which is now all over the Caribbean Islands, and He’s done it again in this great Latin American nation.  The same impact that took place in Jamaica, Cayman Islands, and Boston this year is now being experienced in Santo Domingo, the capital city of the Dominican Republic, where Apostles Drs Ezekiel and Eunor Guti have begun discipling new believers and teaching the gospel of the Kingdom of God.  The vibrant team of young pastors who are bearing the burden of the work together with the servant of God are being used mightily by God.  Below are reports from the new church.

The new church birthed last week in the Dominican Republic is growing in leaps and bounds. Truly God is with his servants Baba and Mama Guti. Things are moving at a great pace. The youth from Republic of South Africa bought a set of instruments. In addition the church in Australia bought the church van.

Friday night we experienced a record increase in attendance almost doubling Wednesdays’ attendance. We had 107 people worship with us and 17 people gave their lives to Christ. The composition of the church is varied from old grannies, middle aged and lots of youth and young adults. We are seeing people testifying enthusiastically of their love for God, the servant of God and Forward in Faith Church saying it’s now their spiritual home.

God continues to send new people resulting in more people being saved in every service. We witnessed a great harvest as 27 people received Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

Seeing new people braving the rains to attend church is a powerful manifestation of the hunger they have for God. We had 39 people, 34 adults and 5 children. The Lord added another 4 souls into His kingdom. This week cell group leaders will receive training and instruction.
