What a spectacular day of worship. We started off at Bruce Hepburn’s place in likely the poorest colony we ever visit.  Our worship team led us in several songs followed by communion.  We closed the service singing How Great Thou Art.  The experience is both difficult to describe and equally difficult to exceed.   After our […]

What a glorious day.  We had crews working projects at Sende De Vida, Big Heart Orphanage and a prison ministry for the first part of the day.  I was fortunate enough to get to go to Sende De Vida.  That is my favorite place we go to each year.  The story of that place is […]

Today was a full day at the Magdiel Bible College in Matamoros MX.  What a great day playing games with the students, worshiping and eating lunch with them.  And we were able to squeeze in a short soccer game at the end.  Truly this was a fun day. The students get very excited when they […]

And yet another great day.  You will likely hear that every day. I will be sure to let you know if that is not the case.  Today also started with worship.  Pretty glorious to sing praises to God with 64 other men.  And after worship, to the projects as today is our last day to […]

What a spectacular day but man am I tired.  Considering the 5 hours of sleep last night and working on construction projects all day today, I am feeling it.  But the blessings today were awesome.   Today as a team, we worked on a new church building, new classrooms at another church and roof projects on […]

Wow, what a day!  64 men converged on San Antonio TX to begin Day 1 of Group 3.  There were men from 9 states and 2 countries represented in this rag-tag army set to work for God, whatever He would lead us to do.  But really, the day began prior to getting into San Antonio.  […]

Debriefing and send-off: I was able to share a room last night with Pastor Francisco from Matamoros MX.  We were able to communicate pretty well despite the language barrier.  We started talking about our families and showing pictures and before we knew it, it was 1:30 in the morning and we felt the need to try to […]

Started the day at Border mission. I was astounded to hear that about 100 pastors a week come to Border mission to get food and supplies tor their Mexican congregations. It was so quiet and empty while we were there, it was hard to imagine the amount if food that passes through the place. Power […]

Today we hurried off to the Allianza church in Reynosa for a mega-church service, Mexico style. The church had a greeting party waiting to greet us with much fanfare and many handshakes and God bless you’s. In Spanish, God bless you is “Dios le vendiga”. This is a very important phrase for anyone doing mission […]

Had a great night of rest in a non-snoring room last night. It’s a little hard to describe, but Stepping Stone at Laredo just has a comfortable, homelike atmosphere. I could definitely stay there again. The day did, however, start out on a somewhat stressful note. I was the first or second one out of […]
