Hello all! I just wanted to give you a little update on what is going on in our lives. We are currently moving forward with another mission board called the Baptist General Conference (or as you will see me write the BGC.) This is a wonderful sending organization much like the IMB. The biggest difference…

A setback?
So today we got our definitive answer from the IMB that if we’re going to serve at the Belize Mission and Retreat, it’s not going to be with them. Nothing against us, it just doesn’t coincide with their strategy to target unreached people groups. No longer can we reach the mission field on our own…
Waiting on God
Sometimes God says “wait”. Times like these are not easy. There is a certain amount of insecurity that comes with not knowing what is going to happen day to day. Some would panic, as I did when we returned home. Trust me, not the route to go. For the past couple of weeks I have…
We’re Back!!!!!!!!!!!
So we are home now. It’s a little wierd being back. We just came from hardly any water, electricity, and NO air conditioning and now I’m sitting in my cool home listening to the hum of my clothes dryer running. Strange. The posts do not end here, in fact our adventure has just begun! Look…
SLEEP! Please, somebody get us some sleep!
After realizing that we had to overnight in Dallas, John and I ended up getting to a hotel room by 1030 pm and eating by 11:30pm (we had not eaten since lunch). Then we had to catch a shuttle this morning by 4:30 am. So we are running on 3 hours of sleep. I’m here…
Caye Caulker
Hey everyone! This is going to be quick because I’m in an internet cafe and every minute counts. John and I are in Caye Caulker. We went snorkling and have had a nice relaxing time with Vera, Basil, and Suzi (another girl visiting). Tonight our table won 2nd place at a trivia game and we…
A rainy day
It’s been raining all day today, but it is the rainy season so it was expected. We’ve had beautiful days here since the great boat downpour Saturday before last. So we’ve been entertaining guests and playing games. It’s been a fairly easy day. So I decided to write a post. Here are some pictures for…
A Childs Love
So today we went to church in the village. At 9:00 am Sunday school begins for the kids. They pile into the small church with eager faces. Children from 1-16 join in on the action. We picked up a little girl named Amanda (8) and she climbed into my arms and gave me a big…
To the Lakeview Baptist Church Young Couples Sunday School Class
Hello Class! Today was THE DAY. We passed out the shoes and flip-flops that you all donated. Every child got a pair. There was just enough. Isn’t that awesome? The kids were very happy and very thankful. Here are a few pics of John and I giving the kids the flip-flops or as they like…
The “Race” for the youth in the village
The population of Gales Point is 500. Half of those people are age 18 and below. If we can reach these kids while they are young it could mean that the Lord might revitalize the village to what it was 25 years ago, a thriving, beautiful, friendly village. Today we headed to Gales Point to…
