Mike and Ingrid Baldwin
Prayer Letter/Ministry Update
Hurricane season is officially here and we are already experiencing heavy rainfall. The drainage system on the island is so poor, that flooding and water damage are the most devastating events; we are grateful for a vehicle with 4 wheel drive. We remain active with our work in the church in Santo Domingo and have had many opportunities to meet and disciple the leadership. It has been very rewarding to see them implement and gain results from the ideas and experience we have shared from our many years of church work.
Mike and Brittany are working with the churches from all over the country in a youth event of about 200 teens for the weekend. We hope that many youth will find purpose in their lives and come to Christ. Ingrid, Nick and Cody attended a youth weekend of about 100 kids last month and 17 young children made professions of faith.
Mike continues his discipleship classes in the community and is enjoying seeing John (our Colombian neighbor who recently gave his life to Christ) grow in the Lord. Ingrid is in the middle of a ladies Bible study in the neighborhood with 5 women who have very difficult lives and are not Christians. Please pray that each of them will come to Christ by the end of this very powerful study. One of the women is Lilliana, John's wife, and she has been an atheist for many years. How wonderful it would be if she too would come to Christ and they would have a Christian marriage and family. Please pray believing with us.
We are so needful and grateful for your prayers and kind letters and support. We truly are leaning on the Lord, as these are difficult times and situations.
We love and appreciate you so much.
Thank you for believing in the Call and the Word of God by partnering with us.
Love,
Mike, Ingrid, Brittany, Nicholas and Cody

We are forever grateful for your thoughts, prayers and support. And encourage your continued tax deductible giving to the Great Commission Fund through your local Alliance Church. If you would like to support us personally, you can mail it to headquarters or give online at www.cmalliance.org under "give" and then "support a missionary". Type in "Mike Baldwin" and funds to be used for "work of" or "approved specials".
We know that these are difficult economic times and that many of you are giving sacrificially to missions, for which we are extremely grateful. Although your IRAs (Individual Retirement Accounts) may not be as large as you might like, as you choose to invest in God's Kingdom, your ERAs (Eternal Retirement Accounts) are full to over flowing :)
Thank you for all you do to share the Gospel around the world through your support of our work here among the Dominicans. We are here because you are faithful.
With much love and thanks.
IN HIS STEPS,
Mike, Ingrid, Brittany, Nicholas, Cody Baldwin
