The Third Round Ana from the Dominican Republic shared that she first met Osvaldo on Facebook in 2011 and they married in 2013. Gabriela met Gustavo catching a ride in his moto taxi as a 15 year old. Gustavo noted that his family had to move every few months to avoid the military and their forced conscription of family members into the Sandinista forces to fight the Contras. He remarked that every time they moved to a new community, they immediately started a new congregation. We prayed for their precious five children who have just left behind friends and moved to Baxter. We also prayed for a Mexican family who have been waiting to get their final paperwork so the can come to Baxter. #baxterstudents2021 #baxterkids (at Baxter Institute) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPSEmC3Jkh3/?utm_medium=tumblr

What are they doing? Our students are preparing to return from distant points, and saying their goodbyes to family. Venezuelan students Analis and Alejandro Panza who were unable to return home have spent their vacation time working for the Church in Jutcalpa, Honduras. They finished their time there today with Alejandro preaching and baptizing two individuals down at the riverside. Glory be to God! #baxterjuticalpachurch #baxterstudents2021 (at Baxter Institute) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKvDFx7pi1i/?igshid=t37ktkdbldrf

What are they doing? In these difficult times of the pandemic, and hurricanes, we thank God for those who despite everything, provide hope that our God provides. Mexican student Jaime Onofre has been serving in the community of La Iglesia Los Pinos. He has spent his vacation providing help to those most in need, both taking the Word of God and meeting the food needs in the community. We thank Julie and Jamie Albert who raised funds from the Huntsville TX and Sylva, NC churches to help to this community. Jaime is a great example for his desire to serve in the Kingdom of God. #baxterstudents2021 #baxterlospinos https://www.instagram.com/p/CKfoD6kJ8Ob/?igshid=g8o8r2poco1p

What are they doing? During the school break our students span out all over Latin America returning to their homes. Fourth year students Gloria and Jormar Ramos chose to do something special- serve in the boy’s home, Jovenes en Camino. The home’s director a Baxter graduate, Ronald Millón, noted, “they collaborated for 2 and a half months with the work of childcare, parent counselors for our children and young people, doing whatever we needed done.” Thanks Gloria and Jormar for your example!!! #baxterjovenesencamino #baxterstudents2021 (at Baxter Institute) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKaMbE3p7_a/?igshid=489r8hnzeuvv
