The year 2022 marks the 20th anniversary since construction began for Colegio Moriah, a school already operating from Tanis and Esther Derolus’ rented home. Staff and partners at Colegio Moriah are continually evaluating their services to children and parents always looking for ways to be better at their service.
Here is an excerpt from one interview with the school principal, Alexis Rafaela: “Good afternoon and blessings to you. My name is Alexis Pie Mendez. I am the Director of Teachers at Colegio Evangelico Moriah. One of the things that I enjoy the most about my job is to work with a team that fears the Lord. This allows us to work as a team and not just as a group. Another thing I could say that is difficult in this work is finding how to integrate the parents in the process of teaching and learning for their children, that they may be empowered and interested in this process so that their children may learn. We are working on perfecting this aspect that is the most difficult for us.” These efforts require the concern and prayers of many. That’s where you come in! You can be a part of this investment in people’s lives not simply by giving, but through your prayers and through praying in concert with fellow Christ followers across the US and the Dominican Republic! The annual DR Fast and Pray Day (second Saturday of May) is May 14 in 2022. Will you promote the event in your church and encourage those you know to fast and pray on this day? We will offer a prayer guide and a live stream on Facebook (no need to be a member to join the stream). Prayers and fasting begin at 9 am with a livestream opening from FOCM members and end following a 4 pm livestream from our DR partners at Iglesia Bautista Cristo para las Naciones led by Pastor Tanis. |
