As pastor of Independent Baptist Church in Clinton, Maryland, I would like to recommend Rick and Shannon Dove and their three children for your missions’ family. Rick and Shannon faithfully served in our Hispanic Ministry here at Independent Baptist Church for many years and were a great blessing. Following the Lord’s command, the Doves established a thriving Hispanic church, Abundant Life Baptist Church, in North Carolina. From there, they traveled to Costa Rica, and furthered their knowledge of the Spanish language. Most recently, they have been involved in establishing two churches in Costa Rica: Berea Baptist Church of Escazu and the San Rafael Baptist Church of Heredia. Since arriving in Costa Rica, the cost of living has increased. In addition, the difficult economic times in the States have had a saddening effect on the Dove’s support level – leaving too little with which to live. I hope that you will add the Rick Dove family to your prayer list and also consider them for a possible addition to your missions’ family. As their pastor, I can see God’s hand of blessing on them and I know you will not regret the decision to add them. Thank you for your time.
