We’re looking forward to a great time with Hope Community Church, coming soon to help with our first DVBS in the new church in Palmas 1. Here is a brief summary of what’s been going on here so far this summer, with two videos at the end of this post. A group of 19 (plus …
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 …
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!)

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 …
For the second year, we had the privilege of hosting Camp Bighorn‘s Journey program. They spend just over 1 month in Mexico doing all sorts of outdoors and wilderness related activities, as well as some limited ministry.
