Juan Jesús and his wife, Wilma, first came to ALIANZA (a new Alliance church in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic) after receiving an invitation under the front door of their apartment. Although Wilma was a Christian, Juan Jesús believed that all religions lead to God. A few weeks after the couple attended the church, Alliance workers Jeff and Deborah Climie arranged to visit them in their home. Later, Jeff invited Juan Jesús to join him in studying the Bible. The first time they met together, Juan Jesús decided to follow Jesus. Since then, he has continued to grow and mature in Christ. “He and Wilma were baptized at the ALIANZA’s first baptismal service, July 10, 2011,” write the Climies, whose work is supported by generous giving to the GCF.
