Here are a few snapshots of what we've been up to for the past few months...
At the end of November, we hosted a team from Church on the Rock in Canada. They were doing missions in Haiti and stayed
with us for a quick stop-over. Such a
great blessing to have them in our home.

Christmas- We spent Christmas Eve celebrating with Josh and Jen and their 5 precious kids. Then, on Christmas Day, we took treats to our neighbors and enjoyed
visiting with them. Later that evening, we worshipped at our church with a few of our neighbors.

The Youngs- Darren, Becky, Jenna, and Audrey have been
living with us since December 30. Darren
is the new doctor at Makarios and we have enjoyed having them at the Mak
House. They recently found a home and
will be moving out this weekend.

Dental Team January 2013- Dr. Bud has been bringing a team down to do
dental work on the staff and students for 6 years. This year, they saw over 120 patients during the 5 days
they were here, and one child put his faith in Christ right there in the
dentist chair! Such a blessing.

So, just a glimpse of what we've been up to in December and January. There's so much more, but hopefully that will give you a picture of our life here in the D.R.
We are excited about February- it looks like it will be a busy month! We will have lots of people coming and going and staying at the Mak
House. In fact, it’s been quite active
around here. We will have had at least
one person staying with us from December 30 until March 16th.
God continues to show His faithfulness to us in countless ways. We feel so blessed and are amazed at what He is doing through the ministry of Makarios. Thank you for your prayers, encouragement, and partnership!
With ThankFILLED Hearts,
The Becks
