Among the activities…a soccer tournament, two outreach events with about 90 reading glasses and 25 hearing aids …

Several weeks ago we were honored to receive a small delegation of four people from Lighthouse Community, of Torrance, California. Our contact with Lighthouse initially came about through Kaycee Kaba, who ministered with us for a year in Ixtapaluca.

This summer Lord willing we’ll be again hosting groups from three different churches and some individual visitors as well, a total of 44 people in all (a rather light summer for us!) Our theme…the banner at the top of this post, Cross the Border. All sorts of meaning there! As you may imagine, a lot …

Matheus returned to Portugal after graduation last May, and has …

The banquet had a missions theme, and I was privileged to participate with Andy Grosh, who has been in …
These past two weeks have sort of been a blur…but I did want to post a short video of a Saturday before Easter youth activity, here at our house. About 32 kids attended, and as always, Cuco and Connie did a great job. Yes, and we had hot dogs; a far cry from the usual …
Below is a video and some pictures of this past Sunday, when we celebrated the 8th anniversary of the Jesus Maria church and also participated in baptisms…5 from JM and 7 from the relatively new Palmas 1 church. Great time!
We’re always thinking about ways to improve community, and foster outreach. One project for this summer is to improve our facilities here to be more conducive to reaching our community. This involves some remodeling and some modest purchases. Below, a ping-pong table which we can purchase at a local box store. Friend Gaspar was visiting …
