A visit with Kristy Engel

Tonight Central Baptist Church hosted a pot luck supper with Kristy Engel as the special guest. I wish more people were there. It was great to hear her presentation.

Kristy is a Physician's Assistant and she works out of the Good Samaritan Hospital in La Romana, Dominican Republic. She has been serving there since 2000. The ABC ministry there is very extensive and they work in the hospital and in the villages around the city. They run medical clinics and build churches and schools in the outlying villages.

I found out our old friend, Crystal Poulin visits Kristy in a mission trip every year. A few other churches in Connecticut and in Maine also make regular trips and we may consider going down there in coming years.

The Dominican Republic shares the island of Hispanola with Haiti. Many of the people Kristy serves are those coming from Haiti to find work and shelter. They come and she and those who work with her bring hope. It's a great ministry. I will be sharing more about it in the coming weeks.
