Some of you know that this past Sunday, November 6, we officially began Sunday services in Palmas 1, another neighborhood in Ixtapaluca. It was extremely encouraging to know that many people were praying for us, and neat to hear some many people afterward ask us about it. Below is a selfie that Matheus took at …
A couple of weeks ago David, Cathy and I (Rod) went to the Jr. Hi School where Samuel teaches for a video conference with Ella, a girl from PA who came down with a group from Mt. Calvary Church this past June. Special, long-distance friendships were formed, and social media makes such friendships easier than …
Last year was the first year that we attended a Pastors Conference sponsored by Word of Life Mexico. It was a great time. So this past week, from Tuesday to Thursday, we returned to Ixtapa, Mexico, inviting several more friends to accompany us. It was great! The theme for this year: Set Apart for the …
Teaching. Eating. Singing. Eating. Playing. Eating. Ministering. Do you see a pattern here? So was our second weekend with a group of students from Word of Life Bible Institute, Mexico. This weekend Karen Méndez joined us, and Lord willing she’ll be able to continue with Matheus, Cheila and Rebeca. Our very first kids club at …
Had a great time with Matheus, Cheila, Rebecca and about 15 kids from both Sendero de Vida churches this past Saturday. Looking forward to going deep with this group in the months ahead. Great to be able to talk with Bersa and others!

She will be joining Matheus and Rebeca in the ministry here with us every weekend, beginning…well, beginning this week! Hello my name is Cheila, I´m 25 and I´m from Portugal. I was born in …
You may remember (ok, probably not) a post from last Fall that mentioned Matheus and Cheila, and how they are studying at Word of Life Institute Mexico. They are related to a church plant in Portugal, where my uncle and aunt Bob and Jo Fry ministered for many years (15 or so?). Mayra and I …
We are pretty familiar with Word of Life Bible Institute out of Schroon Lake, NY. Although we have never personally visited, a number of good friends and their kids have attended and graduated from the Institute. What is pretty amazing is how international Word of Life is.

Over the past week, however, when referring to Wol I’m thinking about Word of Life Bible Institute, Mexico (Palabra de Vida PdV in Spanish). This past weekend a group of 9 students from WOL Mexico did 4 different …
