On Thursday evening we picked up Pastor Jeff Johnson and his friend Pastor Fraiser in Santo Domingo, DR. Pastor Jeff Johnson is a very interesting man as he is the superintendent of the Mid American Conference of the Free Methodist Church. He has had speaking and teaching engagements around the world in several countries. In fact, six days ago he was in Ethiopia, preached over the weekend at his home church (4 services) and then taught three courses at the university before traveling to the Dominican Republic. We have enjoyed our conversations and theological discussions with him during our time with him. He is a person who makes you think about a variety of topics in your Christian walk, but also likes to make us laugh at the same time.
Pastor Fraiser has a very inspiring personal story on how he became a pastor. From growing up in the church, to falling away, and finally surrendering his finances, positions and relationships to Christ. Now, he is now a proud father of a seven year old, a thriving pastor in a bilingual church, and a successful businessman. We are excited to hear him preach on Sunday and hope that American Airlines decide to bring him his luggage soon as we spent much time with him trying to find a suit.
While we have enjoyed and feel blessed that we are able to spend time with Pastor Jeff and Pastor Fraiser at this Pastors' Conference, we are looking forward to traveling to Haiti on Monday.
