It was another full day in Del Rio/Acuna. After rolling out of our dorm beds, we had breakfast, devotion, and took communion. Heading across the border, we split up to finish up the projects at yesterday’s sites. My van went to finish a house for the Silva family. The metal roofing went very quick, and […]

2019 Group 2 Day 5
We all did surprisingly well today, considering we were operating on only 4 hours of sleep. Our food crew cooked up a good breakfast offering of eggs, oatmeal, cereal, donuts, juice, several kinds of fruit & of course coffee. We had our morning devotion at the Faith Missions cafeteria, right after breakfast. Bob Biber gave […]
2019 Group 2 Day 4
We got to sleep in a little today, to 7 am. After a quick breakfast at the hotel in McCallen, we drove back across the border to have worship and devotion at the colonial Nopalera (Bruce & Paula’s place). They have been there 12 years now, building houses and drilling a well for people with […]
2019 Group 2 Day 3
Today was an early departure day, as we drove across the border to Reynosa, specifically to Sende De Vida (Hector’s homeless outreach), where we had morning devotions. I had hopes of pounding some nails or some type of construction work, and loaded my backpack with all 25 lbs. of tools. Alas, it was not to […]

2019 Group 2 Day 1
It was a very rainy day in Los Angeles, and my wife and I started getting a little worried that we would not make it to LAX in time for the flight to San Antonio. Traffic was terrible, especially coming on to the 405 and heading up Sepulveda Pass towards the airport. Praise the Lord, […]
2019 Group 1 Day 7
Today is the final day of an amazing week for the Power Ministry team serving the Lord. We have seen projects unfold like the construction of a church long hoped for on a vacant lot in Acuna. Great progress was made on a small house that will make it no longer necessary for two families […]
2019 Group 1 Day 6
We spent most of the day in the vans traveling from McAllen, TX to Brownsville, TX then into Matamores, Mexico for a visit to the Magdiel Bible School then back across the border to finish our 8hour drive to San Antonio. The drivers and their navigators riding in ‘shotgun’ position did an amazing job because […]
2019 Group 1 Day 5
Today everyone is aware of the spiritual high we experienced on Sunday. So we are more deliberately encouraging one another and praying that we will win the spiritual warfare with God’s help in the day ahead. This is our last day of work projects and we know that Satan knows how to disrupt the plans […]
2019 Group 1 Day 4
Spoiler alert! Today we experienced an awesome outpouring of God’s love and presence of the Holy Spirit in our midst. The itinerary was a day of worship and play in Reynosa, Mexico. The morning devotion took place in a small ‘colonia ‘ in Nopalera. The devotional scripture found in Ps 126 and Rev 2:1-5 provides […]
