And so our night began…           Without hesitation, Daisy immediately volunteered to take care of the boys.   After one phone call, Telma volunteered to help take care of the boys.   Chino, Eric, and Ronaldo volunteered to help also.  Three Grace workers and 2 Colegio JET students willingly jumped to serve the children.          I came … More “Our Normalcy” Part 2

Since I was raised in a pastor’s home, I realize there is no such thing as a normal day in ministry.  There is not an 8 hour shift.  There is not an uninterrupted day off.  There is not a phone call to be returned during normal office hours.  Thankfully, God has always prepared us to … More “Normalcy” Part 1

Our days are filled with various ways of serving people, but our main priority is always our children. We spend a lot of time focusing on the physical, emotional, spiritual, and academic needs of the students. We are asking God to use us to be part of breaking the physical and spiritual darkness among the … More What Have We Been Doing?

With all of the craziness in the world, the easy thing for our school to do is to simply pass out homework and to give the children a bag of basic food. However, we know this is not the best for most of our children. God has been so faithful in showing us favor with … More We Will Not Eat Today!

Although this year has been different, we have welcomed groups throughout the months of June and July. Thankfully, we have had no problems with people … More Michigan Meeting!

Wow! Time flies when you are having fun! Or when you are extremely busy… I am going to try to give a quick summary of the past 2 weeks. Last week, my dad’s group built a total of 8 houses. This kept them busy during the day. They returned home each night to host a … More Great Things are Happening!

We were so thankful to have Motlow Creek Baptist serve alongside us last week. Pastor Terry Rainey was influential in my teenage years during youth camps. He has been part of my life for over 25 years, and he introduced us to the sweet people of Motlow. Pastor Terry had a part in our wedding … More Busy Week!

What a whirlwind of a week! My mom, sister, and 2 nieces arrived in Guatemala last week. My girls were extremely happy. My sister has not been to Guatemala in 18 months! Everyone who loves Jesus come to Guatemala twice a year. We had the option to just stay on Grace mountain with all five … More Piñatas & Wound Care
