update from the Walker's

So what is the Walker Family doing now?

We are currently working on staff with YWAM Orlando and loving it!
Ned spends most of his days in the accounting office. He likes it and is learning some really valuable information that will be needed when we have a facility full time in the Dominican Republic.
Debbie splits her time between homeschooling the kids and the accounting office! She is enjoying it! It is always fun to work together!
Ned has been helping to head up some Saturday work days out at the YWAM Orlando campus! We have cleared a lot of brush and are working on making the pathways and roads a lot safer to pass through. What a fun family adventure to go out and work together.

Please pray for us as we share at a church in Port Orange, Florida the next two weeks.
Many Blessings!

Merry Christmas to all

Merry Christmas to our family and friends!!
What a year it has been! We have enjoyed a lot of ministry times on the island of Hispanola. The Dominican Republic and Haiti share this island and we have been able to minister in both countries extensively this year. We have seen salvations and healings and have been able to do physical labor and work on orphanages and water systems. What a great year of ministry.
We are busy right now with YWAM Orlando which we love and are so happy to be a part of the family here. This past quarter Ned has learned a lot in the accounting department and also the youth department. Debbie and the kids have been able to work on the new west campus of YWAM Orlando. They have destroyed a lot of moldy walls and cleared the way for new walls and ceilings to be put up. It has been a busy but very productive fall quarter!
We all were able to help with and attend YWAM's South East Conference and 50th Anniversary Celebration that were held on the new campus. We slept in tents and used portable toilets, sinks and showers during this week. What an adventure!

We will continue working on staff with YWAM Orlando here in Orlando for the Winter Quarter. We are looking forward to learning a lot more that we will be able to take with us as we continue to prepare to go full-time to the Dominican Republic.

We pray that this finds you all well! Please pray about financially or prayerfully supporting us this coming year.
Many Blessings!

Update Sept. 2010

WOW! What an adventure it has been! We are currently doing our third school here at YWAM Orlando. It is a Basic Leadership School (BLS) where we are learning to be servant leaders like Jesus. It is quite intense and there is a lot of work to do. We are enjoying this class a lot and loving being in Orlando. YWAM Orlando has very much become home to our family.

Our BLS studies have kept us quite busy these past few weeks and I have not slowed down in order to do a much needed newsletter. I do apologize for not keeping everyone up to date. We will be here in Orlando for lecture phase until June 4th. After that we will do our Outreach working with the youth department here and leading a team back to the DR. Dates and information are still being finalized.

Long-term, we are working towards setting up a family-oriented facility where families and individuals can come and serve others and in doing so, realize that God has called us all to share His Salvation Story with others. A place where each and everyone that is a part has an opportunity to realize that God has created each of us with a purpose and a destiny in His Hands. We are looking at the Dominican Republic due to location, safety and other factors.

Starting this week, we will be doing a weekly post about some of our adventures while we were in the DR. This will be easier for Debbie to post with limited internet access and will make for shorter reads. Hope and pray that you enjoy them.

Thanks for following our family and for your support. A prayer request right now would be for financial support as it is down a bit from what we need and also we have had truck issues.

Please let us know how we can be praying for you!

What are the Walkers doing right now?

We are moving!!

The last week of August, our family will be moving long-term to Santiago, Dominican Republic. We will be working with YWAM Santiago and the Martin Family! We are super excited about this transition. But also praying for wisdom as we figure out visa's, residency, what to do with our things, etc...


As always, we are praying that the Lord will use us wherever we are!



Lord, help us not to miss the things you have prepared for us to do!
