Uconexion students celebrate our new base of operations

Student disciples making disciples. That is our mission. Our students, student leaders, and ministry interns are committed to making new friends on campus and helping them connect with Jesus.
Since August, we launched on 2 new campuses in Barahona, a city in south region, and hosted initial student leader training in La Vega, city in north region - with students from 4 universities in 3 cities.
Phase 2 Remodel open to teams March - October 2020. Projects include install 2 new bathrooms, roof the back terrace, install new windows & security reinforcements.  Contact us for more info to set up a construction or dual ministry trip.

NEW CHURCH PLANT

God has been stirring our heart to plant a new church in Santo Domingo — focused on reaching unchurched middle to upper class families and young professionals in the Arroyo Hondo section of the city (where we live and our kids attend a private school.) DR National Church leadership and our AGWM regional leadership are in total support and excited to see us step up to the challenge of establishing a new church DNA to reach a neglected audience in need of Jesus. We pray that this new church becomes a model for other young pastors desiring to plant churches in the Dominican Republic.
Currently we are recruiting a launch team and will begin meeting together for prayer, training, team building and strategic planning in January. The formal launch of weekend gatherings is projected for September 2020.
Will you pray with us? Pray for those considering joining the launch team, pray that Jamie can clearly lead this team in establishing an innovative model of outward focused church that they have not yet personally experienced. Pray for developing friendships with unchurched families. And please pray for finances. This is a new project.
Will you take a next step with us and send an offering for start up costs which include securing a venue, equipment, and resources for dynamic kids ministry?  Secure on-link giving link here or send checks to AGWM, marked Account #254557, Class 60 - church plant.

Doors open to friendships through sports,
birthday parties, neighborhoods and field trips. 
I COMMIT TO PRAY

1st Intern Completes Year of Volunteer Service

Jorge Mejia is our first graduate student to complete our University Ministry Internship. He was strategic in launching ministry on new campuses (even co-leading a small group in English with Engage students from WA!) and in new cities. While serving, he began his theological studies which were put to practice as he discipled student leaders. Our 2nd intern, Osmairy Cuevas, a Bible school graduate began her year of service in August. 

Dedication of Puente Center

Over 30 national church leaders and pastors joined us for a special ceremony giving thanks and dedicating the new ministry center to Christ's mission.

Lifer Leader Summit

Several local churches are shifting the way they do youth ministry after the impact of our Youth Leader Summit focused on the "Lifer" theme -- staying in youth ministry for the long haul to see multiplied returns. Pastors have asked Jamie & MDA to come help them establish the vision for hiring a youth pastor replacing annual elections for leaders based on popularity instead of call and mission. We are #ChangingACultureThroughAGeneration
