It is time for us to take a real break. After three years of preparing to be missionaries and moving to Belize and starting our ministry, we have not been able to have a vacation with just our little family. We are tired. Tomorrow we begin a five day vacation and we plan on RELAXING…

The Omniscient Hand in the Midst of Stress
About a week and a half ago I wrote a post in desperation for prayer. The first two days of our team of forty was very stressful for John and I. We tried our best to make the transition easy for the team but we were feeling the pressure behind the scenes. As the days…
Lord, Do You HAVE To Reveal To Me ALL My Faults?
I used to think that I worked well under stress. I don’t know how I thought that, maybe it is because I have always wanted to believe and hope and wish that this trait would be mine. Well, I’m writing here today to tell you what some people closest to me already know and I…
Can We Get Prayer Going?
We had a wonderful time with Emmanuel Baptist church. They finished the house they funded to build and had a great excursion to Caye Caulker. There was only a two day break between Emmanuel and the next team from Springbrook Community Church in Huntley IL. This is our largest team to date: Forty people. Everything…
Blessings and Burdens
We are very happy to have the Emmanuel Baptist Church youth group here from Hartsville, SC. They are a supporting church and it blesses our hearts to have them here. They are rebuilding a home in the village and doing a great job! The walls are up and tomorrow they will put the roof on…

Protection from a Storm and a Fall
We are praising God for his protection from Tropical Storm Alex. The Tropical storm was RIGHT on us. Yet, for the most part, our property did not get strong winds just a lot of rain. It was amazing to see God protect us in that way. During the heavy rains, John had to take Evangeline…
Alex is upon us
Well the path of the storm changed and it is headed right to us. The good news is that the storm seems to be coming from the back, so there is no storm surge. Right now it is just off the coast and it is raining pretty hard, but that is it. No winds yet…
Tropical Storm Alex
The first tropical storm is heading our way. Sometime between this afternoon and evening we should get hit. The good thing is that it is headed toward northern Belize, so it won’t be a direct hit on our beach, but it is still fairly close so we will feel the storm. The winds are projected…
One Day Christian
Persecution comes in many forms. For villagers who are Christians, it comes in the form of relentlessly being teased by other villagers as to what they perceive the Christians spiritual life is like. Even if they have no idea. Many villagers here see Christians going to church that they feel are not truly Christians. They…
