Our Purpose


- to know God and use our entire lives in service to Him.

- to stand in the gap through prayer, giving and service to viable ministries in Latin America.

- to be transparent helpers of fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, using our resources and skills that through the Holy Spirit, we might encourage and equip those who have less.

- to share a living perspective from Latin America to our churches, friends and family in the states and beyond.

Somedays we're doing good just getting up ...

I found this quite hilarious, as this pretty much describes my outlook today ...



Today's top achievements include finding the gas company in town, getting a regulator and hose and getting a tank of gas (they use butane here) and getting the stove in the kitchen hooked up so we can cook. Also bought a 'widow-maker' (local, on-demand hot-water heater) and figured out how to wire it into the existing wiring in the house to provide hot water in one of the two showers in the house. And ...

this part is really cool -

... managed to connect our computer to the internet via the cell phone, and update the blog and check e-mail. Tigo rocks!!!

So explain the photo. Is that your house in the distance? WOW. Looks like a jungle. I'm praying you get all the glitches worked out so you can be online more again. I've missed you!
