Your Prayers Were Answered

Posted: September 21st 2010

What a great trip! The Baja Mission is completed.

Because you prayed crossing the border was actually easy and without incident.We crossed at Tecati and the young guard was very pleasant and superficially looked around. He purfunctally punched a few of our bags with his hands and let us go.

We gave away hundreds of pounds of clothes, 150 pounds of rice and beans, plastic tarps for shelter, and many toys for kids. We also gave away the message of Jesus with lots of love to the Mistako and …

Pray Pray Much Pray In Faith

Prayer is what our Baja Mission Team really needs this week.

We are going to Baja on Saturday and will cross the border on Sunday Sept. 12th about 9AM. Here is the problem.

The mission is telling us that the border guards are not allowing extra things across the border now. This includes things like clothes, blankets, toys, gifts for children etc. These are the very things we are taking down to give to migrant farm workers.

We have a trailer full, literally to the top of contributions g…

Great Riches

Posted: August 30th 2010

We were on a short vacation to San Diego. we stayed in an inexpensive hotel on the bay, All around the bay were boats of all kinds from dingy's to sail boats to big boats and even much much bigger yachts. I am saying really big 30-40 million dollar SHIPS!

Also in S.D. were many wealthy people driving expensive cars, motorhomes and living in hilltop mansions which could see the bay or ocean. We were amazed at all the wealth every where we went in this beautiful seaside city of S.D.

Then I …

Our Youth Are Great

Posted: July 8th 2010

Please check out the most recent video (a few minutes) on the Media page. You will see our incredible youth on their houseboat trip.

God is at work in the lives of our young people. Many have re-dedicated their lives to the Lord, one is becoming a youth/leader intern, another just recently received Christ as Savior and a young man has discovered his leadership skills as a result of this trip.

Thanks to Youth Pastor Mark and his wife Sasha many great things happened on this fantastic Lake …

Helping Haiti Heal

Posted: June 22nd 2010

It will take many many believers and lots of resources over a period of years but God is faithful.

Our burden for Haiti is still so strong and the great needs are ever present.

What if every believer gave just 5.00 per month to help rescue and educate orphan kids? That would make a great difference!

We saw hundreds of these children but even worse were the thousands still stuck on the streets and in tents.

We came away from Haiti with the burden to help Pastor Daniel and his two orph…

Return From Haiti

Posted: May 25th 2010

Yes, we made it back alive. It was a great , exhausting culture shock. We have been to Baja to the Mestako Indians but this was beyond that experience. We have been to the Triqui Indians and their cardboard and plastic homes but this was a greater stretch. We have been 7000 miles to Ukraine but the shock was even more difficult.

"The Earthquake" left extensive damage greater than what we saw on TV. The poverty left us sick at what people did to survive. The heat, humidity, odors, diesel fumes…

Adjustment

Posted: April 29th 2010

I went to the chiropractor recently for an adjustment. I have done well with my back for many months now no problem. All winter was fine and I was totally amazed. It felt great.

But this spring! Well--- things happened, you know outside in the garden, shoveling,and pulling weeds, and raking and all the outdoor stuff took its toll.

So the back started doing its REBELING. And I really wasn't surprized. I have so much fun in the back yard that I knew sooner or later it would rebel.

So of…

Dump! Dump!

Posted: April 15th 2010

Take it to the dump. What a great idea! Just fill up the truck and go unload all the junk.

I recently went to the dump. It was actually quite fun standing in the back of the truck just throwing it all on the ground in the waste area of the dump.

It takes along time to clean out the garage, backyard, attic, trash heap or wherever you may keep all the bad stuff. It piles up so very fast and makes a mess in a hurry.

But it is so much fun unloading everything and it is a "power trip" throwi…

Resurrection Power

Posted: April 7th 2010

YES, the Easter Message is all about JESUS RESURRECTION POWER.

Easter 2010 is now history but not Jesus Power.

He promised " All power is given to me...and I will be with you always" We have Jesus and we have His power too. What a great promise.

This of course means that the resurrection power is the very same kind of power available to all of us believers. WOW!

Remember this great verse. "His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledg…
