Dominica is well known for her natural
national treasures in her rain forest reserves,
which include hundreds of rivers, dozens of
waterfalls, numerous species of breathtaking
flora and fauna, and exotic wildlife. It is also
home to the second largest thermally active
crater lake in the world, Boiling Lake.
However, Dominica needs the Gospel. Like

Praise
 The Lord has been gracious to allow our support
to increase over the past two months. Thank you
for praying. We are now seeing God answer
those prayers. To God be the glory!
 Both of the mothers highlighted in the last Up-
date have been granted by the Lord safe and
healthy deliveries. Martha is recovering well after
delivering our eighth child, Eric Nathaniel, by C-
section on July 20. Axel and Nicky are rejoicing
in the safe arrival of their daughter born Septem-
ber 2. Jedidah is their first child.
 The Lord has provided some wonderful meetings
the past few weeks in Georgia and Virginia. An
added blessing and surprise was to meet many in
Georgia who knew my godly grandmother, Ethel
Cornelius, and continue to call her blessed.
Prayer
 As our support increases, please pray for the
Lord’s guidance concerning setting a definite date
of departure to return to Dominica.
 Pray with us that the Lord will continue to open
doors for us to share our burden for Dominica.
 Pray for the Lord’s provision of all we need to
return to Dominica.
 Keep praying earnestly for the work God is rais-
ing up in Marigot and for wisdom and endurance
for Axel and Nicky as they serve the Lord there.

the rest of the Caribbean, Dominica is a religious
island on the one hand and extensively immoral
on the other. The culture of immorality not only
permeates society in general, it is also rampant
within its religions, including the Bible-believing
churches. By God’s grace we desire to continue
not only to teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ but
to live the Gospel. The Dominicans need to see
the Gospel at work in our lives, turning us from
sin. Like Paul’s desire for the Ephesian
believers, we desire the young believers at the
Open Bible Church of Marigot to know “what is
the exceeding greatness of His power toward us
who believe, according to the working of His
mighty power which He worked in Christ when
He raised Him from the dead.”

Prayer Focus
Ronald Georges and I met around 1998. Our
meeting was certainly out of the ordinary.
Ronald was driving a truck down the road
when he saw me and stopped his truck. Af-
ter walking over to me with the clear signs
and smells of alcohol, he began to curse me
out for being white. After he finished his
rant and realized that I was not retaliating,

he abruptly
An aerial view of a Tree Fern stopped,
looked at me,
and declared,
“You know,
you’re all
right.” Ever
since then we
have been
friends. How-
ever, he would
not let me share the Gospel with him until sev-
eral years later when the Lord allowed his
drinking to poison his liver. I visited him in the
hospital, and he listened for the first time as I
shared with him the good news of Jesus Christ.
He did not seem to hear what I said but told me
he would never drink again. I was grieved to
see him again taking to drink. After we re-
turned from our second furlough, we began
services in the village of Marigot, following
the Lord’s leading to start a church there. After
three months Ronald called and told us he
wanted me to baptize him. We were astonished
and a little confused, so we invited him to
come to a service and take our Sunday dinner
with us. After dinner I sat down with him and
explained again the Gospel, being careful to let
him understand that baptism had nothing to do
with becoming a Christian. With joy and great
rejoicing, Ronald bowed his head and received
Christ as His Savior.
Ronald has not been assembling with the be-
lievers for some time. Please pray that he will
yield to the Lord’s chastening and humble him-
self before the Lord.
Thank you for praying faithfully with us about
these requests. God is answering and will do
all for His own purpose and glory.
