After being on the missions field for 13 months we decided to come home to visit. It took us 3 days to get out of Mexico. We are so proud of our boys for being awesome travel troopers. It was a nice time to bond with them by singing, reading books, watching movies and eating [...]

October 19th, 2009 marked our one year aniversary as missionaries with El Faro de Esperanza in Arriaga, Chiapas MEXICO. On Sunday my wife testified in the service of God´s faithfulness to take care of us thus far. Listening to her recount the miracles of our Father´s financial provision, divine health and protection reminded me of a [...]  October 26th, 2009 | Tags: Faith, Life in Mexico, ministry, Photos | Category: About Us, Life Mission Minutes |  Leave a comment We recently had a need for two of our Junior High girls to switch schools due to concerns about the quality of their education and peer pressure. This led us to inquire about a private Junior High here in town. Upon discovering the cost of tuition each month the team realized we could not afford to [...] September 18th, 2009 | Tags: El Faro kids, Faith, money, provision | Category: Life Mission Minutes | Leave a comment A few weeks ago, I was walking around town. It is not unusual to see drunks passed out on the sidewalk here. As I made my way to a store I could see that a drunk was right on my way and there was no way to get around him. I was scared but knew I [...] August 30th, 2009 | Tags: attitude, Ivonne, ministry, missions | Category: Life Mission Minutes | Leave a comment Our precious little visitors First knock: little children who come every day to eat a meal here. Their torn clothes, matted hair and calloused feet do not take away from their cuteness. We stopped asking what they need and just wash their hands, pray with them and feed them. Second knock: a single mom with four [...] May 16th, 2009 | Tags: children, compassion, feed the hungry, outreach | Category: Life Mission Minutes | Leave a comment New insight on the cause of swine flu revealed by this recent photo Many of you have called and written concerned for us due to all the news about the swine flu here in Mexico. I want to thank each one of you for caring about our family and checking on us. April 30th, 2009 | Tags: fear, Mexico, sickness, Swine Flu, worry | Category: Life Mission Minutes | Leave a comment As believers we must make a distinction between God and everything else. We must learn to be concerned about what our Savior says and not what the world around us is panicking about. Force your biblically unfounded fears to submit to faith in our Father´s promises… and you will find rest. Isaiah 8:11-20 For so Jehovah [...] Lots of excited kids The ministry here in Mexico annually hosts a Samaritan’s Purse Christmas event. In case you don’t know… Samaritan’s Purse rallies caring souls to fill shoe boxes with toys and goodies so they can be distributed to needy children around the world. This year the church decided to step it up a [...] January 30th, 2009 | Tags: doctors, evangelism, Kids, outreach, San Marcos | Category: Life Mission Minutes | One comment so far Several weeks ago the women at the church had a “pounding for me” so what exactly is a pounding? It’s a Texan tradition of bringing a newcomer a pound (here actually a kilo) of this and that to get them started in their new place. I was amazed at their generosity. They truly believe that [...] December 6th, 2008 | Tags: Life in Mexico | Category: Life Mission Minutes | 2 comments - be the next! We found a private preschool with a great teacher student ratio so we decided to enroll Caleb in it. His first day of school was thursday. He had fun but I cried, its the mommy thing to do right? Caleb understands some Spanish but he speaks mostly English.
