Hi all!
We have just wrapped up the October trip, celebrating Mission Emanuel's 15th Anniversary in Cielo, Dominican Republic. Mission Emanuel had events in the states in September in Florida and North Carolina and finished off its birthday last Sunday with a Quinceañera attended by 500 people from Cielo and Nazaret. At the celebration we worshipped together, the mission handed out awards to key people involved in Mission Emanuel's success, and showed a video recapping the mission's 15 years in Bayona.

Mission Emanuel over its 15 year tenure has built 2 schools and a Haitian education program, a Dominican and a Haitian church, a medical center that includes a pediatric clinic, dental clinic, physical therapy program and community health program, a water purification plant and a children's sponsorship program as well as a women's cooperative, various bible studies and outreach events. Mission Emanuel has also built over 40 homes in the community, a baseball field, basketball courts, and youth center. Each year over 500 short-term missionaries come into the community from the U.S. to give of their time and resources to bless Cielo and Nazaret.
Here's to 15 more years!
