A Glimpse of Peace

This is all my hope and peace 
Nothing but the blood of Jesus 

One day last week I was struggling in all kinds of ways. There was homesickness, loneliness, and discontentment. It was not just the usual ach of being away from friends and family. It was way deeper and it was ruining me. It was evident that something was wrong in my heart, and I knew the discontentment was there. So during lunch I just sat by myself and listened to worship music trying to pray. Some noticed that I was being more wierd than usual, but I didn't really have answers for them except that my heart was discontent. Thankfully, we were let out of training early that day, which doesn't happen too often. I was able to go home and sit on my bed and pray for those I missed for a long time, and also seek the lord to purify my heart of selfish discontentment. During this time while just listening. The lyrics of the song above came to me, and I begin to sing them. However, I am immediately convicted and recognized that I was singing something different than what was actually true in my heart. You see hope had become something other than Jesus something physical, places and physical people. That I even knew would not fill the peace longed for. After seeking the lord for restoration and peace. He restored my Hope to Himself. The next day the burden was lifted, and the excitement for what God has instore for each day returned. Yes, I am excited to return home and spend Christmas with my family, but I am no longer controlled by this. 

2 Corinthians 5
14 For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died;
15 and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.
2 Corinthians 5:14-15



So what is your hope or hopes? What gives you peace? 

IS IT TRULY NOTHING, BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS? 

Spend some time worshiping the Lord through this timeless Hymn 
1
What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
 Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
  Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
2
For my cleansing this I see—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
For my pardon this my plea—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
3
Nothing can my sin erase
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
Naught of works, ’tis all of grace—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
4
This is all my hope and peace—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
This is all my righteousness—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

A Glimpse of God's Provision and Protection in Mexico


In Mexico things never go as we plan, but that is okay because they always go as God Plans!

There were issues galore this week in Mexico including closed visa offices, freezing cold weather, and our car breaking down in a dangerous spot. Yet there was the grace and provision of God to cover it all!

It normally takes under 3 hours to get to village ML, but on this trip it took 6 hours because we had visa issues at the border which the Lord helped us through, and our car broke down about 45 minutes away from the village. After my fearless leader and teammates tried seeing if it was just something basic they called our field director who was translating in a village about an hour away. While we were waiting for a while only kind and helpful people drove by or stopped to assist. A huge provision of the Lord came when O the believer we are working with in ML stopped, and he knew a mechanic near by. So, when the other team arrived they towed us to a mechanic about 20 minutes down the road, and then dropped us off in village ML before going back to their village. The mechanic was able to have our truck fixed the day before we left. It was neat to be able to make a new connection to a small village through the mechanic, and we hope to connect with them and share more when we return.
It was freezing cold that day and night, and continued into Tuesday the day we had planned for our outreach through the movie Courageous and a Gospel presentation during it. We walked the village Tuesday morning telling the whole town and inviting them to the evening event with flyers. I wondered if people would come because of the cold. Then they did! 13 people 12 of them unbelievers! Now maybe those numbers sound small to you, but that is over 10% of the entire village of 90 people, and way more unbelievers than we have ever had at a Bible Study this year. We were able to serve popcorn and hot coco. Then the Gospel of Jesus Christ was proclaimed. A few young shy girls also came that I hope to connect and share with more and more. We were not able to follow up with the guest as we wanted to, but we are confident that the Lord always follows up with those that belong to Him! It will be exciting to see how He has moved when we return!

Praising the Lord for His faithfulness to His work, and Thanking Him for the privilege of being a part of it!

PSALM 33:1-6
Shout for joy in the LORD, O you righteous!
Praise benefits the upright.
GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD
with the lyre; 
make melody to him with the harp of ten strings!
Sing to him a new song; 
play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts.
For the word of the LORD is upright, 
and all his work is done in faithfulness.
He loves righteousness and justice; 
the earth is full of the steadfast love of the LORD.
By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and by the breath of his mouth all their host.

A glimpse of Bible Storying


This is a drawing of a story board. It reminds me of cave drawings. 

It may sound crazy, but 16% (775 million) of us are illiterate. In some countries the illiteracy rate is as high as 84.6%...

So the question is how do these oral people learn?
It is Through Stories
Many cultures are oral learners because they have never read or written. Therefore, they connect and learn new information through dialogue, images, and other ways.

This past week at the CPCP we walked through many stories from the New Testament, and memorized each of them in a story fellowship group. Then at the end of the week we each got to story one for the hour long Story Fest that took the listener from the birth of Jesus to His return. On Thursday alone we memorized 4 different stories. It was a worshipful week constantly verbally sharing truths of the scriptures to one another. Our tool boxes were filled with truth this week, and now we can use these tools with those we are meeting.

A glimpse of Psalm 18

Sometimes it can be discouraging when things change. Change has always been a challenge for me. For some reason it just makes me feel like I don't know anything about the future. My heart gets frustrated, and then anxious, and then doubtful, and I can easily tumble into despair if I neglect to remember WHO I belong to and live in. Maybe I'm the only one, but maybe not.
It is a reality that plans will continue to change, and as a missionary there will be constant grief and loss in those changes. Loss of ideas, plans, and the reality of constant transition of people can be exhausting when I neglect to remember the author and controller of the universe. Thankfully, there are truth in the scriptures to remind us.
Psalm 18 is a chapter I have spent some time in lately. It begins with verse 1 "I love you O LORD my strength" and ends with verse 50 "Great salvation he brings to his king, and shows steadfast love to his anointed, to David and his offspring forever. " Do you see why David is in such deep affection for his LORD? God gives Him a great salvation from his enemies, and so proves His steadfast Love. Throughout the other 48 verses of this chapter he reflects on the Old Testament truths, and he also talks about The Lord equipping him for battle. Midway through in verses 29-31 is a truth that calms my anxious heart. 
"For by you I can run against a troop, and by my God I can leap over a wall. This God-his way is perfect, the word of the LORD proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him. For who is God, but the LORD? And who is a rock except our God? "
Now the battle and walls for us are a little different these days, the barriers are spiritual and sometimes physical, our battle is spiritual, and our enemy is the spiritual forces of darkness that constantly seek to kill, steal, and destroy us and the truths we believe, as well as, our faith and only eternal hope in Jesus Christ! So when you feel the darkness pressing in hold fast to the light of Christ in communion with him. Do not be deceived by the fading refuges/temporary comforts of this world because they cannot protect you, but dwell in the truths of the Scriptures! Remembering "This God-His way is Perfect; the word of The LORD proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in Him.

A glimpse of Training in Ephesians

It was incredibly humbling walking into the week of Ephesians and learning that I had so much more to learn. I kinda thought that I like had Ephesians pretty well. I mean I felt I should.The Lord redeemed me going through a bible study of Ephesians. Then later I led a Bible study on it, and I also sat through some super solid teaching on it. I mean I did kind of knew it, but I didn't realize how much more there was to gain by studying it on my own. I had never gone back and studied the church at Ephesus from Acts, but this time I did. Also before studying Ephesians in depth if someone would have asked me the question what is the book of Ephesians mainly about I would not have really known. However, after looking at the church that this letter was written to, prayerfully studying it in depth of context, and learning how to story Ephesians the unity was made so clear. I still have much to learn from this book of life, and I so look forward to continuing to be taught by the Lord.

I think that Paul wrote this letter to the Ephesians so that they would know this...
God in his love has graciously united us in Christ as he had planned before the foundation of the world to give us the inheritance with Christ. So, that through standing firm we may become the praise of His glory.

Charles H. Spurgon once said
"Visit many good books, but live in the Bible."

A glimpse of God's Creation




The creator God is truly magnificent, and everything he makes should always make us marvel back to Him!

Birds were everywhere today while we were out. It is crazy to see and hear, and I have always wondered about migration. How do the birds know it's time? Why do they come back? What is the point? I still don't have all the answers, but just from a few minutes of looking it up today I learned more about how amazing the creator God is!
So essentially the migration has to do with light. The days get shorter. So,they leave to travel to the warmer climates because there is less food and shelter in the cool barrenness of winter. Some of these birds travel over 10,000 miles!!! 
The most interesting fact of all is that over the summer they are graciously given a new set of aerodynamic wings for their 10,000 mile journey. If The Lord so carefully plans and equips for the migration of a tiny bird how much more is He willing to graciously plan for us and equip us with what we need for the migrations of this life.
He can be trusted! 
He will always be faithful! 
Thank you for praying for the Lord to equip our hearts, bodies, minds, and souls as we journey to the unreached.
Job 42:1-2 Then Job answered the LORD and said: "I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted."

A glimpse into 2 Thessalonians


Last week we studied the book of 2 Thessalonians. Can I just say how enjoyable it is to study the Word of our Lord. It just seems to become richer and richer as we dig deeper and deeper.  2 Thessalonians is so rich with encouragement for the believer, and especially the believer suffering persecution for the sake of the gospel. Now my first exposition was lacking in many areas, as I am still learning the concepts of studying the scriptures in such detail, and my second was lacking as well. However, I know there was growth from the feedback I received, and for that I am thankful. It was so much more enjoyable to walk through each verse prayerfully trusting that The Lord would teach my heart and allow me to see clearly what He is saying. Below is the extremely simplistic lay out of how I shared 2 Thessalonians chapter 1 in about 15 minute. Again it is not exhaustive and it is very simple, but the Lord really connected my heart to it so there was a deep affection in the communication. Maybe it will encourage one of you.

1- This letter begins with identifying the church. He proclaims to them their identity as being IN God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 

The comfort that came to the persecuted believers at Thessalonica just in reading the first sentence of this letter. When you are IN something you are surrounded by it. He begins with reminding them that they are surrounded by and enclosed by God their Father and Jesus Christ their Lord.

2Let us not miss the impact of this greeting because Paul again focuses them by reminding them of the unearned favor of Grace and the peace that is in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. He immediately focuses our hearts to Jesus and the grace of God before He shares with them anything else.

3- Paul then continues in Thanksgiving giving a weight to it’s importance by saying always. He says we ought always to give thanks to God for you brothers.
And what is it that Paul is thanking the Lord for? The abundant growth of their faith, and the love of everyone one of them for one another, and the way it is increasing. So not only are they loving one another, but they are loving more and more.

4- Then in verse 4 Paul goes into how they are able to boast of the Thessalonian church in the other churches, and use their testimony of their steadfast faith in the midst of persecutions and afflictions to edify other brothers and sisters in other places.

Sometimes the sufferings and afflictions we experience because of our faith can be overwhelming for us as believers. So the next verse sheds some light for us.


5- Paul shares with this persecuted church how the sufferings and afflictions that they are experiencing give evidence of how God has righteously judged them as worthy of the Kingdom of God.

It helps us remain steadfast in faith to be reminded in the midst of suffering and persecution that it is for the eternal kingdom of God.

6- Then Paul continues with how God is just to repay with affliction those who are persecuting the church and afflicting the believers.

7- Then Paul explains how God continues in His justice by granting relief to those who are being persecuted for the faith when Christ returns. It says the Lord Jesus will be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels.
8- In flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

These two verse paint the picture of a warrior king coming from His kingdom to fight for those that belong to His kingdom. The fact that He will return in flaming fire inflecting vengeance is some strong language. I can imagine that it was especially strong for persecuted believers that were maybe seeing their churches, homes, or brothers and sisters being burned with flaming fire. So, what an encouragement to know how our Lord Jesus will return, especially for these believers.

9- Paul continues to explain how those who do not believe will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His might.

10- but then Paul explains what will happen to His faithful steadfast servants. It gives me chills thinking about it. But you faithful believers when he comes on that day He will be glorified in you and you in Him because you are His saints. And then he explains.. and do you know what you are going to do on that day?… You will marvel at Him ( you will be filled with wonder and astonishment) because you are believers of the testimony of the gospel.

What an amazing day it will be to get to fully Behold our marvelous and astonishing God.

11- So again after painting this beautiful picture of the day of the Lord for believers, Paul returns to prayer. He reminds the believers that he will be praying for God to continue to make them worthy of this calling to glory, as well as fulfill all of His intentions for good and every work of faith. Then he says by His power.

He reminds them that they will not be able to do anything on their own accord. So, it is only by His power that we are made worthy of God’s great calling on our lives.

And again what is this great calling? Vs 12 tells us…..
12- That the name of the lord Jesus be glorified in them, and they in Him. All according to the grace… the unearned favor of our Lord Jesus Christ.

His unearned favor that pours down on those who are His.

App- So when we face afflictions and persecutions because of our faith we must remember the coming day of our astonishment when our Lord Jesus returns to be glorified in us. So that we may remain steadfast in our faith and then counted worthy of the great calling to glory.

A glimpse into Language Learning



This has been a tough subject for me. Honestly it has seemed too hard, and I hate the thought of failing at something. Most of you also know where I am aiming for long-term service, and those people speak a language far from spanish, well, most of them. So, because Mexico is not the goal country, initially, I was kind of thinking and planning that I wouldn't really need to learn Spanish. I thought I would just be able to get by with the basic phrases and questions. Then just encourage through translators. I also didn't really think I would have the opportunity to learn. 

Then I went to the village of ML for 3 days and realized I didn't want to just get by at all! I realized the opportunity of peoples set before me, and I want to be able to talk through scriptures communicating with my heart to these women in their heart language. They need fellowship and discipleship, and to really be able to do that well I need to try and learn as much Spanish as possible! It is an urgent matter.

Thankfully The Lord gave me the blessing of a tutor for 1.5 hours today. A sweet girl I met at church told me she could come help me yesterday. I'm sure you have all been praying because He has also given me another for Saturday. He truly provides what we need to fulfill His purposes for us. He must know that I can learn. However, we all know that it will only be through His provisions.

Village ML

Village ML

Imagine being in a small fishing village of about 120 people, and 3 members of your family being the only believers. There is no other fellowship with the body, and no church to attend to worship the one and only true God, no community groups, no worship times, and no Bible studies. The believers were so excited to see us when we arrived in ML after having a long absence of fellowship over the summer. They were so excited to sit down with us and be taught from the scriptures. Two of our guys shared with them. The first night they shared from Hebrews 12 about running the race, and the second night from 2 Corinthians 3 about the freedom in looking to Jesus constantly in every area of our life. You must know the only way to run the race and finish it is to look to Jesus! Below are the Scriptures we walked through with them. May they encourage your souls as they did ours. 

Hebrews 12
1Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us

2Corinthians 3
12Since we have such a hope, we are very bold, 13not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face so that the Israelites might not gaze at the outcome of what was being brought to an end. 14But their minds were hardened. For to this day, when they read the old covenant, that same veil remains unlifted, because only through Christ is it taken away. 15Yes, to this day whenever Moses is read a veil lies over their hearts. 16But when onec turns to the Lord, the veil is removed. 17Now the Lordd is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord,e are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.

A glimpse into Team Dynamics


This week we talked through the important concepts of team dynamics. We also did some practical exercises by reading some shocking real life cases from the field. We learned a lot about effective and ineffective communication. I have about 25 pages of notes, and it is all so important! Team dynamics are extremely important concepts, and can be detrimental to those committed to long-term service. The attrition rate is high right now, and team conflict is often an issue that sends people home. Please pray for missionaries across the world! Pray for protection, understanding among teammates, and for strength to endure for the Glory of God.

A Glimpse of Training in 1 Thessalonians



Over the past week. We have walked verse by verse through the book of 1st Thessalonians. Have you ever really spent a lot of time in this book? Well, I had not, but now I want to spend time in it more and more. It is truly rich with deep truths of encouragement for the souls of those who believe, especially if in the midst of affliction. 

On the first day we were taught a lot of fancy Bible words that I don’t really know yet. They did say that the words were not important only the concepts. Which I do think I kind of understand, but have in no way have I mastered. They we will talking through them more as the weeks continue. So, that is good. Then we read through Acts. On Tuesday we read through 1 Thessalonians about 8 times in several different ways including praying, and then we were given our assigned text.We had Wednesday morning to prepare. Wednesday afternoon the Expositions began. It was very humbling to have the privilege of teaching through 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 for about 10-15 minutes. It was most exciting to hear the second year trainees share with such heart and soul, as well as, expositional skill. I am thrilled to get to grow in learning how to expositionally communicate the truth to unreached peoples. 

Here is a glimpse of what I learned.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope.14 For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. 15 For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.

This passage repeats the concepts of those who have fallen asleep, because the 1st Thessalonians church is suffering great affliction and persecution, and fellow brothers and sisters in the faith were dying. In America we don’t get much of this, but just imagine. As you meet to worship with your local body of believers each week more and more faces are missing because of death from persecution. We understand grief and loss of loved ones, but not near to the same capacity of what happens in the midst of persecution. A lot of the church across the world really experiences this, yet we can barely relate to it. Much less think about it, and connect to it. However, it is a huge characteristic for many faith communities. So, Paul leaves the Thessalonians with the greatest moment that will ever come to them. He shares with them the great Hope. 16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.

Then later a huge promise. 

SO WE WILL ALWAYS BE WITH THE LORD. 

And that is the greatest place.. Being with the Lord. We are with Him now! As a believer you can seek the Lord, and He is there. One day you will be with the Lord in perfect peace, communication, and harmony. Until then continue to connect and 
be with the Lord.

A Glimpse of Life and Death in Christ



On Friday, the last day of orientation, I signed a form to be buried in the case that I die in a remote area while trying to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to peoples that have never heard. Over the weekend I have been processing this moment. It was not an easy document to sign. Not because I care so much about being buried in a foreign country, but because I may be put in a situation where I must decide to deny Jesus and live, or Proclaim Christ and die (or worse be tortured). Not to mention the pain that this would cause my family and friends. Of course today I decide YES absolutely I will always proclaim the name of Christ Jesus. However, I am sobered by the reminder of Peters denial of Christ. Peter, of the original 12 disciples, walked with Jesus daily for 3 years. Yet Peter denies he is a follower of Jesus 3 times in the same night. I recognize the need to begin praying for courage and strength to endure 

whatever may come while always proclaiming Christ our risen Lord. 
Today as I took communion staring at the bread that was torn and the crimson drink it connected with my heart in a new way. Christ suffered as His body and flesh were torn at the crucifixion. His blood poured from His open wounds. Having signed a burial form two days before I realize what a privilege and honor it would be if God choose to use me as a literal representation of what Christ has done for us who believe. 

Now, I say these things not wanting to die. I truly do want to live for Christ, and share His name with the nations for a long time. However, should He choose differently, if given the choice I begin praying now that I may also have the courage to suffer and die for the glory of Christ because He has already died for me.

Philippians 1:20 As it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death.

A Glimpse of To Every Tribe

August 25th I officially begin training as a missionary trainee with To Every Tribe Ministries! 

On this Blog I will post glimpses into what the Lord is teaching me, and how He is working with the unreached villages in Mexico I get to minister to. The ultimate goal is to complete the program in the Spring of 2016 and go to a South Asian nation that has over 2,000 unreached people groups that have never had the privilege of hearing the gospel. If you cannot go physically, but would like to walk along side someone that is you may click the link to the right and join in financially. You will be added to my mailing list, and I will keep you posted in more detail of the journey. If you are only able to pray please also review the prayer request to the right and remember me in your prayers. 

If you struggle to understand the value of prayer for missionaries, and your significance to the gospel reaching the nations please click the link and read the following article.


It is an absolute privilege to get to go and train with this organization! Here is a short video about us.

The Mother


Today is Mother' Day. So, it seems fitting that I take a little time to brag on my mom and share her heart with you a little. I pray if you have children you will be encouraged in the Faith to lead your children with similar mind sets.
I was able to spend some time with my mom in Gulf Shores last week on the same little beach in the same little spot where I shared with her that I would be leaving her to go follow The Lord in India. Her response in September a year and a half ago was a shockingly accepting "I kind of expected that." She shard with me how she had given me to The Lord the day I was born, and so she could trust Him with me. There wasn't a single tear shed. Only words of encouragement for me to follow The Lord earnestly, and to do what He asked me to do. Sharing how she would support me wherever He called me. Never did she try to change the direction.
Now for those of you who have met my mother I am sure that you have no doubt of her very dear and deep deep love for her one and only daughter. If you have not met her, I and those who have can assure you of her love. It is very great. So, the giving trust is not an easy one. However, this love she has for me is not greater than her love for "My Everything"(as she refers to Christ). As a single mother of only one child, her sacrifice of me is monumental. The ache she feels in my absence is painful for her, but there is an opportunity for the glory of God to be revealed through her that far out weights the pain and sacrifice of it all.
She gets it.
When people ask her. How can you do it? How can you not only let your only child go, but also encourage her to go over seas into the battlefield? And how are you so supportive of it all? Her response to these questions is a simple. "She doesn't really belong to me, and she was never really mine to keep." I have seen and heard her say it, and I couldn't be more proud when she does. She goes on to explain how I was a gift to her from The Lord, and that He has let me be with her and allowed her to love me for 26 years.  How she will continue to love and be near me every chance she gets, but that it all isn't really up to her. She goes on to explain how God is a far greater parent than she could ever be. And then into how God sent His only son to earth to give her life. Therefore, she can fully entrust all of my life into His keeping.
I mean wow! The first time I heard her explain it all was when I went to meet her friends at work. I was blown away at the the testimony she was to the gospel. My mom has by far been the most supportive and encouraging individual out of all of my friends, family, and incredibly supportive spiritual brothers and sisters. Yet my mom has the most reason not to be. I understand this to be an incredible blessing because I am sure it would be normal for most parents to be far from supportive of their children abandoning them, their homes, and American lives for the sake of the Gospel. It must be hard for most friends family and parents to understand because often the comments are "why can't she do that in America, or there are a lot of people in America that need Jesus can't she just help them." Yes, you are correct our sweet dear friend who I know loves us dearly and just wants me near and safe. Yes, there are many and there are also many Americans capable of helping that could go share and help them if The Lord willed. But our question is what about the ones that have no one? The people The Lord talks about in the scriptures that have never heard of the Great Savior? What of the sheep that are not of the fold yet that Jesus speaks of in John 10:16? At some point in time all the peoples will hear of the Savior and the one true living God. Someone at some point in time will share with them the scriptures. May it be soon!! Maybe just maybe God will let it be me, or possibly even you, or us. Many of you have already joined in the battle for souls among the nations through your prayers and financial gifts, and what a blessing you are to my life and spirit, as well as my mom. Words cannot express the gratitude that we feel for you in our heart. My mom begins to weep when we speak of you with deep gratitude because she knows I go as representatives and extensions of your hearts for the gospel!
Mom never knew that the curly haired baby girl you see in this picture would grow up and moved to South East Asia, but she has fully welcomed it. So, God has given us a great gift a great privilege of carrying the Gospel to other nations and peoples, potentially tongues and tribes; My mom and I both will continue to gladly run after it with great joy seeking and savoring the Glory of God. We have been greatly blessed.

"Fear is a waste of time."-My Mom courageously trusting The LORD


Isaiah 52:7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, "Your God reigns."



Wherever we are... Near or Far....
May our feet always bring the good news!
