We woke up in the plush surrounding of the Smart I Stay Hotel and enjoyed breakfast fellowship. We headed across the border to Reynosa and followed the Rio Grand littered with dumps of garbage. We were welcomed to a village setting called Senda de Vida. The entrance was paved and residents greeted us for worship. […]

We began Saturday at The Stepping Stone Missionary Center and enjoyed a full breakfast provided by the pastor’s wife. Then devotions included spirit fill singing and another message on upside down living. We loaded the vans and headed across the Mexican border at Laredo to Nuevo Laredo. It was already a hot day when we […]

We began the day aware that it was inauguration day for our country but focused on the work that lay ahead of us across the border in Acuna. I am beginning to be aware of the shift in daily responsibilities that many carry and for which I am grateful. There is a depth of faith […]

Morning came early but included a filling breakfast. Then came a surprise for me, the singing. I do not know what it was but as we began to sing, my eyes were filled with tears, running down my cheeks. What is it about? Was it the songs or the harmony of men singing? I don’t […]

The day began at 4 AM with my alarm clock reminding me that my Power Ministry week was beginning. My brother arrived and we drove to meet at Magnolia Presbyterian Church parking lot at 5:30 to meet others that were going. Once we cleared the stop and go traffic on the 91 we able to […]

Another morning begins with a new twist. Luby’s. How often does a cafeteria open for breakfast for a group of men on a mission trip and from what I understand 3 years in a row. We were the only patrons in the entire building. 76 men, worship time, our speaker, and two guests. One man […]

Our early morning began at the Border Mission located right outside the US/Mexico Border in McAllen, Texas. Devotion time started with singing and Jon Paul Dennison gave the word for the day. Our first assignment was at the Refugio Children’s Home managed by Randal Chacon and his wife. The Home is nestled on the outskirts […]

This morning we were welcomed by the staff of Alianza Cristiana, a 5000+ member evangelistic movement in the heart of Reynosa, Mexico. We were honored by participating in the first of four services held at the facility. I must say “these folks can sing.” Oh my, we were placed between probably 1,800 members and the […]

A great morning in Acuna. Our group sheeted the newly erected church building with 23 workers in a little more than 3 hours. Everyone had their position, direction and effortlessly it came together. God was at the helm. We are going to be on the road this afternoon and into the evening. I am looking […]

Living in the States many simplistic amenities go so unnoticed. City Walter, Electricity, Sanitary Sewer and Refuse Collection. In Acuna, most of the populous manages a social structure every day without much consistency. But they do it with precision and efficiency. To me it is chaos. To them, it is just another day. Heaven is […]
