Autumn is a beautiful time of year, and one of my favorites. Of course, we don't actually have Fall here in Nicaragua, and it really isn't even recognized. You won't find Pumpkin Spice Lattes, decorations with those deep fall colors, or anything else pertaining to this time of year. People pretty much just skip right… Continue reading Autumn in Nicaragua
It's amazing how fast things can change. In a moment an action or conviction can turn life upside down. Nicaragua is facing such times. The people long for change in their government and nation, and they are taking a stand. The past month has been filled with protests, fights, marches, anger and sadness. Our family… Continue reading Changing and Growing
It's more than a building, more than a location. Everyone knows that. Anyone who has ever had one, or ever longed for one, knows that home is a wild, beautiful, messy mix of people, walls, emotions, scenery, memories and much more. Right now our home is this beautiful two-story building that we had prayed for.… Continue reading A Place Called Home
October is coming quickly, and with it our 4th Missionary Training School. It is a month-long, intensive training for anyone who feels the Lord calling them into ministry. It is a time for the students to seek the Lord, learn from others, go out and minister and, prayerfully, develop the call God has on their… Continue reading Missionary Training School
In 2005, hurricane Katrina hit Louisiana hard. I remember it well. I had been with the ministry for 2 years at that time, and Phillip had just joined. The hurricane was bad, and people were hurting, so some of the ministry staff loaded up in a motor home and some vans and headed to Slidell,… Continue reading Disaster Relief
It has been a busy summer and I haven't been good about updating. We had a lot of our staff from the U.S. join us in Nicaragua and the camp was full and busy for June and part of July. The kids have been enjoying a break from school but they have also been working… Continue reading Ministry, Family & House Update
It has been a while since our last update, so this one will be full! Our Kids Camp was amazing. We had such a great time with about 80 kids over 4 days. We played games, put on dramas, made some pretty cool crafts and even better friends with the kids. Many of them didn't… Continue reading Ministry and Travel Update
We have a lot going on in the ministry here in Nicaragua these days. I thought I would take a moment and give a brief update on the things we have coming up. If you are interested in being a part of any of these events, or want to help support them, we would love to… Continue reading Coming Soon
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
