Stephanie, Landon, and I are proud to announce the newest addition to the Germano mission team. Elena Lisa Germano was born on November 29, 2014. She weighed 7 lb. and 13 oz., and she was 20.5 inches tall. Stephanie and baby are doing well. Thank you again for your continued prayers for them throughout the pregnancy.
This past Sunday marked the end of the deputation travels for the Germano family for 2014. It is hard to believe this year is quickly coming to a close. On Sunday morning, I was able to be with Pastor Rader Ogden and Victory Baptist Church in Staunton, VA. Pastor graciously allowed me to present and teach in Sunday School as well as give an update during the morning service. It is always a privilege to worship our God with fellow believers. 
On Sunday evening, I made my way to Hopewell, VA. Pastor Sinclair Rowe invited me to present and preach at Bible Baptist Church. The church family was so friendly, and they had many great questions about the work in the DR.
We received our new support report today. We are now over 67% of our needed support. We are also thrilled to see our set up costs for the field hit $22,000!

It is truly a blessing to travel on the deputation trail as we have come in contact with and befriended many fellow believers all along the east coast. We are at 58% support with two more churches coming alongside us financially in the past three days! Praise the Lord!
It is hard to believe that we began full-time deputation one year ago. The time has flown by. We hope that you enjoy the video update highlighting what God has done in the past months of traveling. We echo the words of the psalmist, “This is the LORD’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes”.
May God bless,
The Germano Family
