We recently returned from spending a week in the mountain city of La Dalia, Nicaragua. With a group of 4 from Oklahoma and some of our staff here in Nicaragua we ventured into cooler temperatures, "rustic" living and mountain hiking to take the Gospel message into 17 schools. Many of the schools we visited were… Continue reading Mountain Mission
Well, a lot has been happening since we last posted. January and February are very busy times for us but we are now catching our breath and looking forward to what is to come. A lot of the ministry we are doing and are going to do is focused around training. The motto of the… Continue reading Training, Building, and Growing
This past year has been one of many firsts for us. It was our first year living in Nicaragua, first even year we haven't had a new baby (since 2008), first time missing two of the ministry's big events in the U.S. and Mexico, and our first Christmas and New Year in Nicaragua. The end of… Continue reading A Year of Firsts
In a previous post I mentioned how Way of the Cross is building a house in a very poor community, where we do weekly Bible studies. The house is small by anyone's standard, but it is a beautiful blessing to the family who will soon be living in it. The family receiving the house, and… Continue reading Thankful
We had an amazing experience here at the WOTC base camp in Nicaragua last Thursday and Friday. We had close to 600 kids from the school down the street in our church (about 300 on Thursday and 275 on Friday), listening to the Gospel message and teachings on how to stay strong in the Lord.… Continue reading Jesus in the Schools
We have been staying very busy and it is hard to believe October is coming to an end. This month Way of the Cross has been hosting its second Missionary Training School at our base camp in Nicaragua. We have 28 students living on the camp with us as they participate in the very rigorous… Continue reading The Latest…
We are back in Nicaragua and we will be here for a while. How long, you ask? Well, we aren't exactly sure. We still have a house in Texas, though we won't step foot in that house until August of 2017. For now, we are just taking it a year at a time, believing the… Continue reading Life on the Mission Field
Sometimes working with kids can be hard. They are squirmy, loud, messy and have incredibly short attention spans. We try to teach them life lessons and all they want to talk about is pizza and the latest cartoon. It can be a challenging, up-hill battle, but it is one worth fighting. You see, this year… Continue reading Future Presidents of the World
For the past month Way of the Cross has been hosting a Missionary Training School at our base camp in Nicaragua. We have had about 45 students who have been going through intense classes and hands-on learning. Phillip and I were excited to do a two-part class talking about marriage and family in missions and… Continue reading Waiting on the Lord
I first titled this post "Nicaraguan Adventures." We certainly have been on many adventures since coming here, but to be honest it is everyday life that has touched my heart the most. For the first month of our time in Nicaragua we were busy with groups, work and a lot of evangelism. We had a large… Continue reading Nicaraguan Life
