Last week we made a very brief trip to MD. River of Life Church invited us to speak at their missions emphasis Sunday. We could not pass up the opportunity to speak at a church or to see my parents. We had a blessed time. For some time now we have been thinking that Evangeline…

Please be in prayer for Vera. One of the railings on the porch on the mission base failed and she fell this morning (about 10 ft). She fractured several bones in her foot. Please be in prayer for her as she’s scheduled for surgery in Belize tomorrow morning. Basil is the only other staff right…

Merry Christmas Friends! Sorry this is a day late but we have been enjoying some much needed family time. This was probably the best Christmas yet. God really put things in to perspective this year. We did not have much to give but we have great friends who are like a family to us and…

I wonder if you figured out by the title what you are already figuring out by looking at our support-o-meter. That’s right, WE HAVE OFFICIALLY REACHED 100% of OUR MONTHLY SUPPORT RAISED! Praise the Lord! God has been glorified through our weaknesses, [we have put our] hope in the LORD [and He has] renewed [our]…

Who would have thought that a thin plastic tube with a hole in it would one day mean a small amount of freedom for me? For a couple of months I have struggled to get Evangeline to drink out of a sippy cup. She never really got the hang of it. I’d have to sit…

So I ( John ) am in Belize for the last time before we move. I’m here with our regional coordinator to hash our our ministry plan for the next year. We’ve got ambitious plans, but we’ve also got a great God to depend on. It’s good to have specific goals for a couple reasons…

When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul.” Psalm 94:17-19 These are beautifully redeeming verses. Many of you know, I…

Our newsletters are now available online and in print. To view the latest newsletter click here. As you will see in the newsletter we are very close to our goal. Our last obstacle before leaving is to raise a one-time cost of $15,000. This covers plane tickets, visas, shipping, driving, taxes, and other costs. Please…

We have been here, there, and EVERYWHERE. At least that is what it feels like. For the past three weeks we have been to KS, MI and IL. I’m so sorry for not keeping you all up to date as we journey from state-to state, the days seem to mesh together on these trips and…

Once again, on a Sunday, I find myself sorting through my possessions to make the decision on what I need to consign. Only this time it’s my clothes, not my shoes. Last week, I made a significant dent in my clothing but not enough. As more clothes got washed and I sorted through my winter…
