Iglesias Evengelical Dominicana - IED
...one of Global Ministries' partners in the Dominican Republic.
 |
| Meeting with Pastors and Executive Board of IED on our first night. |
During the week we had the opportunity to sit down and talk with many of the pastors from
around the country as well as the executive board, but a highlight was traveling to
several of the active churches and talking with the local pastors.
Here is a taste with three of the churches we visited...
Primer Iglesia Evangelical -- 1922
 |
| Oldest Church in the denomination |
 |
| The pastor of this church secretly arranged & delivered supplies to churches in Cuba during the embargo. |
Duarte Iglesia Evangelical & Escuela
 |
| They call her the "pastor of love" because of her warm heart and amazing spirit! |
 |
| Singing us a welcome song! |
 |
| Some little sweeties. |
2nd Iglesia Evangelical
(poorest and smallest congregation in Santo Domingo)
 |
| 2nd oldest church in the denomination (by only a few days) |
 |
| Pastor and his new son, he serves two churches during the week and leads service at both on Sundays! |
 |
| This church is in dire need of some construction work and paint... but the pastor continues to work hard for community. |
The churches around the city varied drastically in poverty and size, but all were beautiful in their own way... and the pastors that lead them inspiring!
