Five years ago, Doulos was still a dream in my heart. It is amazing to see how God has moved an army of people over the last five years to accomplish this dream. This year, we have 186 students enrolled, 90 of them in our sponsorship program!
We have started a new year with a new crew of faces. Over the summer, two key leaders at school moved overseas. Milena Duarte, our administrator, moved to Colombia and Cody Encarnacion, our principal, moved to Washington, DC. During the midst of great changes for the school, God reminded me (again) that He is the captain of this ship and will take it where He wants!
We have a fantastic new crew of staff and administration and I am proud to be on their team. Our team this year is our most qualified and gifted group of teachers, yet.
Please pray for our staff and students as they begin this new year. Pray that hearts would be tender and fertile for His Word to take root deeply. Pray for the health of our staff and students as many of them have battled sickness over the last few weeks.
Thank you to all of you who support us in prayer, through generous gifts and your constant encouragement. We have been blessed!

Doulos summer programs 2007
Doulos hosted two programs this summer: a three week soccer camp for the kids of Jarabacoa and a summer tutoring program for Doulos students that needed extra help.
Sarah Lyman, an elementary teacher from Princeton, NJ, served us for three weeks as the coordinator for the summer tutorial program. What a wonderful gift Sarah was to us here!
The men's soccer team from Spring Arbor University in Michigan helped coach the last week of soccer camp. We had a full three weeks of boys and girls from our community. They learned not only valuable soccer skills, but learned game strategies, as well. The most important part of the day was during devotion time: when one of the coaches would share his testimony and make their faith real for the kids that came.
At the end of July, Grace Bible church out of College Station, TX brought a workteam. They helped with the soccer camp, summer tutorials and painted and prepped rooms for the new school year.
Thanks to all who came and made this summer extra special!
