Joining The Team

As many of you know, Rob and I are joining staff at Doulos, and will be moving to the DR this summer (July 2010). We couldn't be more excited about this adventure that the Lord is leading us on! Along with the excitement that we have for what we will be doing for the next 2 years, there also comes wonder, nervousness, and sadness.

We wonder about our new roles in the Jarabacoa community. We wonder about simple things, like what grocery shopping and cooking will be like and how we will wash our clothes. We also wonder about the climate and how long it will take Robbie to sweat through one of his t-shirts!

We are nervous about speaking Spanish (as neither of us are near fluent). We are nervous about our new roles at Doulos-I will be teaching Kindergarten and Rob will be a Guidance Counselor to Juniors and Seniors, and the Work Team Host. 

We are also sad to be leaving our families, friends, co-workers, and school communities. We are sad to be leaving the Young Life family that we have grown so close to through the years. We have so many loving and caring people in our lives that we are so blessed to know. Please know that many of you who are reading this blog have touched our lives in significant ways, and because of the significant role you have played in our lives we want to invite you on this journey.

Doulos Discovery School is unique in that one of its goals is to bridge the gap between the rich and poor of Jarabacoa. Many students who would otherwise not be able to afford a private school education are given this opportunity through the financial support of churches here in the U.S. Other families that can afford the tuition do so. However, to keep costs low for all families regardless of socioeconomic status, teachers are asked to raise their salaries.

Robbie and I are in the process of asking family and friends to prayerfully consider joining our prayer and financial team. If we haven't contacted you, but you know you would like to meet with us, or be added to our mailing list please let us know. We have listed below a few ways that you can join our financial support team. Most importantly, please keep us in your prayers as none of this is possible without God's provision.

With Love,

Meghan and Rob
