Once there was a pastor. A passionate man who started a church in northern Santo Domingo. He worked hard to tell everyone about Jesus. In spite of his hard work, there was something he lacked: music. He needed a musician to help him lead worship at his church. So, he prayed.
And he prayed.
And he prayed.
For eight years this pastor prayed for a musician.
Then he met a young man named John Robert…
Once upon a time John Robert was a little boy running the streets of Santo Domingo. Soon he was introduced to a Art & Music School in his community. It is a one of a kind school that gets kids off the street by teaching piano, guitar, violin, theater, drums, painting and more. It’s funded and staffed by World Vision and their volunteers.
His first day in that school the guitar teacher said, “Raise your hand if you are already a Christian.” He hid in the back hoping she wouldn’t notice his hand wasn’t raised. But soon he began to see and feel the love of God at this school. Soon he felt God reaching out to Him. He became a Christian and his desire to use his music for God grew.
Before long he discovered a church in his own backyard. A church pastored by a man who had been praying for a musician for 8 years.
But that’s not the whole story. In fact, this story goes back in time and far far away from the Dominican Republic…
Once there was a woman named Anita Cooper. She saw a sponsorship packet from World Vision. It had a picture of a little boy from the Dominican Republic. She pledged to give this little boy $35 a month. She didn’t write to him every week. She didn’t make a trip to visit him. But she was faithful in sending her money to this little boy.
And the little boy? His name is John Robert.

The pastor, John Robert and Anita Cooper’s stories are forever linked. Their faithfulness and obedience to God will impact far more people than we will ever know.
hello amanda, I just read my own story,
I really liked as Escrivá.
I ask God to continue to guide your steps, because
in this world we need many people like you,
to disclose real good stories.
I say goodbye and I hope you read this message.

Wow, what a story. It is awesome to see how God uses this ministry!
Posted on Thanks Preston! I’ve been following Jetson for a few years so it means a lot for you to have taken some time to check us out. I think you’ll enjoy the on site fogotae from the knowledge base sessions we do on our job sites. Check back in a while!

wow, that is incredible. I love how God works. We don’t always get to see how all the pieces fit together, but when He gives us a glimpse, it’s always amazing 🙂

I love the way God connects people…only God! I also love the power that God puts into music & how it pulls our hearts closer to him. This is so encouraging as I think about my 2 WV sponserships!

Wow, what a Godly domino effect, sometimes we dare think that what we can do is nothing much but little do we know about what God has in store for what we think is little
Beautiful story! We never know how the Lord is fitting all of the pieces of the puzzle together:)
I like it.Previously I drag and drop to a task but with a folder I think you get more crnotol. You can also set aside a block of time to get through the replies rather than the constant pecking when it is spread throughout the day. It is also very satisfying, especially at the end of the week, to have a cleared inbox. Even with mail to reply to in a folder it is just one task.
I love this story, thank you Amanda!
Sometimes we don’t can’t see the big picture but if we are each faithful in our part {however small it seems} we will have a great impact for Him!
I tried Circuits (on a Linode 360 running Linux 2.6) bescaue its component architecture looked interesting and the example code was clean.$ sysctl net.core.somaxconn net.core.netdev_max_backlog net.core.somaxconn = 250000 net.core.netdev_max_backlog = 2500$ cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max 1001000$ ulimit -n 1001000I changed port to 10000 in Circuits example code to match your httperf command-line.I also followed the instructions for installing a custom httperf. Be careful to use the proper httperf if you already had it installed (e.g. by default it installs to /usr/local/bin/).I also made sure that Circuits was using epoll:PongServer((‘localhost’, 10000), poller=EPoll, backlog=500).run()$ httperf –hog –timeout=60 –client=0/1 –server=localhost –port=10000 –uri=/ –rate=400 –send-buffer=4096 –recv-buffer=16384 –num-conns=40000 –num-calls=1httperf: warning: open file limit > FD_SETSIZE; limiting max. # of open files to FD_SETSIZEMaximum connect burst length: 3Total: connections 40000 requests 33288 replies 33216 test-duration 204.995 sConnection rate: 195.1 conn/s (5.1 ms/conn, <=16450 concurrent connections) Connection time [ms]: min 0.1 avg 12921.3 max 45608.6 median 0.5 stddev 20278.0 Connection time [ms]: connect 12973.1 Connection length [replies/conn]: 1.000Request rate: 162.4 req/s (6.2 ms/req) Request size [B]: 62.0Reply rate [replies/s]: min 0.0 avg 162.0 max 400.0 stddev 195.6 (41 samples) Reply time [ms]: response 16.2 transfer 0.0 Reply size [B]: header 38.0 content 5.0 footer 0.0 (total 43.0) Reply status: 1xx=0 2xx=33216 3xx=0 4xx=0 5xx=0CPU time [s]: user 37.28 system 167.49 (user 18.2% system 81.7% total 99.9%) Net I/O: 16.6 KB/s (0.1*10^6 bps)Errors: total 6784 client-timo 6784 socket-timo 0 connrefused 0 connreset 0 Errors: fd-unavail 0 addrunavail 0 ftab-full 0 other 0No errors (all 2xx).
I have seen that expenses for online degree experts tend to be a great value. Like a full Bachelor’s Degree in Communication from The University of Phoenix Online consists of Sixty credits at $515/credit or $30,900. Also American Intercontinental University Online gives a Bachelors of Business Administration with a overall program requirement of 180 units and a tuition fee of $30,560. Online learning has made obtaining your degree so much easier because you can certainly earn your current degree in the comfort of your abode and when you finish from work. Thanks for all tips I have really learned through the website.
