I belong to a small missions agency in Mexico dedicated to encourage Latins to go to all the world (FAM Mexico). I’ve been a part of this agency for forever, but hardly ever attend their international meetings (which happen every two years). The last such meeting I attended (before this year) was in Lawrenceville, Georgia …
We’re excited about an activity this October 6, designed to bring Hispanics together around two favorite pastimes….soccer and eating! Of course, there will be music and Mexican Coke also! September 15 through October 15 is designated Hispanic Heritage Month in the U.S., and we want to celebrate it! We’re received municipal permission to use the …
We very much enjoyed our time with 18 team members from Hope Community, Mt. Joy, PA, here from July 20-28, including the church’s senior pastor, Kirk Belmont. While here, the group of teenagers and adults participated in a soccer tournament, an English class, two hearing aid/reading glasses outreach events, and a visit to a nearby …
I’ve been serving in Mexico now for 25+ years, having come to Mexico as a full-time missionary in 1993. I lived in Mexico for a school year before that, teaching at Puebla Christian School for the 1989-1990 school year. During this period of time I served with Camino Global for 22 years, from 1990-2014, then …

This past Monday Mexico played Brazil in the quarter-finals of the World Cup. Mexico has never gotten past this stage in the mundial, as it is known in Spanish. Hopes were high, and you could have driven through the entire city encountering no traffic. Everyone was watching the game. But it was not to be…Brazil, …
I didn’t have opportunity to post this past week…probably because I was too exhausted to do so! But now that the group from Mount Calvary is probably just about home, I’ll post a quick review of the week. 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. We came to know Kaycee through a mutual friend, Dave Miller of Adventures in Life Ministry. …
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 …
