Our Missionaries of the Month are Gary and Tami Byrd! "The Byrd’s serve in the city of La Vega, in the heart of the Dominican Republic. It is often referred to as “the seat of Catholocism” in the country. It is a city of about 280,000 people, with only a few Gospel preaching churches. The focus of our ministry is 2 Timothy 2:2 “And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.” We seek to evangelize, disciple and equip spiritual leaders that will reach others for Christ. The Lord has allowed them to plant one church, revitalize another existing church, and now they have established a Haitian mission within La Vega as well. A key part of the strategy is to model and teach the impact of a Godly marriage and parenting on those around you. Tami teaches in a local Christian school, while Gary trains the men and women to disciple and serve in the local church."
