Our trip from Pennsylvania back to Mexico City was full and fun. Adam Landrum and his son Lucas picked us up at San Antonio, and we drove back to McAllen, TX, with them. The next day, Sunday, I preached at Sendero, a church plant that Adam and Velma are involved with, practically right on the […]

It’s so beautiful in Lancaster County, PA! Daniel has survived two weeks of “two-a-day” football practices, in spite of suffering what could have been a concussion at the end of his first full week of practice. He plays his first High School game in the U.S. with Elizabethtown this Friday, a game against rival Donegal,

We are so privileged to be in PA for the month of August. Wow, summer is so fun! Among the August highlights…Cathy’s 14th birthday, the Elizabethtown Fair, peaches, canoeing down the Susquehanna and so much more! I’ve posted a couple of pictures below.

Through an interesting sequence of events we were introduced to a Christian rehabilitation center in a nearby neighborhood on Friday. What a special time eating and later praying and playing soccer with the 15 of so members of this faith community. We all sat in a big circle, and we gave our (translated) testimonies in

We’re gearing up for a full weekend, preparing for a “Mini-fería” or Mini-Fair in a public area in Geovillas Jesús María, right in front of the market area where we do our community center activities. The theme of the evening will be the family, and we’re inviting families to take advantage of this fun event,

We all have messed up. We stumble through life searching for something to give us purpose, to grant us forgiveness, to allow us a new beginning, to calm the fear. We reach 20 years old, close our eyes, and turn 40. Time is ticking. Eternity, full of uncertainty, awaits. Then we hear news that seems

The interns are involved in teaching English in several neighborhoods nearly every day, and on Tuesday were invited to visit a Jr. High school in Jesús María, located very close to where we do our community center activities. The teacher was very kind to us, and invited us all for tea and sweet bread after
