Thank You Chelsea!

Recently, we had to say good-bye to one of our close friends and co-worker, Chelsea Frazier, as she is going on to focus on her new family of 3 (#davystrong) and other endeavors that the Lord is calling her to. Her dedication and work ethic is as inspiring as her faith and passion for Jesus. We are thankful and blessed by the work  and energy she put into this ministry.

Chelsea, you mean so much to us and have blessed all of our lives immensely. Here are some words from the Mak family. 

 Chelsea, your friendship has been such a blessing to me!  It was a complete JOY to work alongside you as we coordinated groups, schedules, airline tickets, etc.  Your calm nature and administrative gifts made things so much easier for me, because I knew you always had things organized and under control.  You will be missed more than you know, but we will be walking alongside you, Scott and Davy.  We love you so much and are grateful for all the ways you have loved and served us and Makarios.  Love You, Margaret

Chelsea-  Words can't say how blessed we have been to work with you at Makarios.  You were a calm in the midst of the logistic storm that is the group ministry and Margaret and I appreciated the way you always kept everything together.  But way more than that, its just such a pleasure to know you and Scott through ministry and call you friends.  We look forward to the next time we get to cross paths.  You're an inspiration to so many and you will be greatly missed by your Makarios family and by the Becks in the DR!

 What I instantly noticed and loved about Chelsea is her intentionality when she is around others. I always felt known and encouraged after spending time with her.  She is such a refreshing person to be around!- Kelly Case, Art Teacher

 “Chelsea Frazier is awesome! Our DR based staff had the blessing of spending time with Chelsea in February 2014. Each and every conversation I had with Chelsea was intentional, encouraging and thought provoking. A specific favorite memory from that time: waking up early in Jarabacoa, dragging our chairs to try and get good view of the Sunrise.. only to find out that the mountains were blocking it. Nevertheless, our conversation made up for the view. She shared her story, and we shared parts of ours. It was great! Thank you Chelsea for all that you've done for Makarios and for the encouragement you were to us!”

- Imani Folkes, PreK-4 Teacher

 “I met Chelsea the last week I was living in the DR. She was so encouraging to me as I was grieving the move back to the states and continued to be supportive during my transition back in Austin. Her love for the Lord shines through her and she has a gentleness and peace about her that brings hope to others. We were blessed to have her in our Makarios family and encouraged by her perseverance and new role as a mother. She reminds us all that Jesus is better and is quick to praise God for the small blessings. We love you Chelsea :)” – Dena Webb, Former Kindergarten Teacher

 “She has a kind and gentle spirit that is so endearing. I got to pray with her a few times at family prayer time where she filled us in on how Davy was doing. I saw her strength and hope in the Lord and was very encouraged! She is a courageous woman of God!”

 “Chelsea is a delight to work with, prayerful, dependable, efficient and full of grace. I am so glad that I had the opportunity to know her even just a little bit as she is a ray of light! Gracias para todos, Chelsea!” – Rachel Sawyer, Blog Coordinator
