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
We started back about a month ago. It is hard to believe it has already been that long, but here we are, four weeks into our books. We have faced new challenges, but we are working hard to find balance and hopefully learn a lot throughout the year. We start off school together, everyone listening… Continue reading Back to School
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.

It's hard to believe we are already planning our trip back to the U.S. for this year, but here we are, writing down schedules, finding routes, looking for airline tickets. This yearly trip is two-fold: it is a time for us to rest and relax and it is a time for us to visit churches… Continue reading Summer Travels
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
