Almost there!


In 2010, our family climbed the Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacán, Mexico. Our muscles strained, our brows sweat as we ascended the 366' steep climb to the top. What sweet relief to reach the pinnacle and take in the spectacular view.

How many comparisons can I make between that day and our time of itineration :)

We strain in hope, we sweat with anticipation, but alas, we are nearly there!

Assemblies of God World Missionaries must raise monthly support as well as a cash budget.  The cash budget includes monies for airfare to the field, visa expenses, rent/utility deposits, work projects/equipment, language school, and other related expenses.

 Our focus this month is to raise $15,474 in cash.

Please, help get us to the top of the Itineration Pyramid with a one-time gift to our ministry. 
I'm sure the view will be great!

Thank you!

S.A.M and the Pyramid

A last minute cancellation became a wonderful ministry opportunity for us this past week at Fort Wayne First Assembly's Senior Adult Ministries (SAM) luncheon.


Stuart shared a little about what we'll be doing in Mexico City and then I spoke on the three gifts Jesus gave his disciples: He gave them a meal, he gave them a cross, and he gave them his Spirit.


Thank you Pastor Frank and Carol Sitcler and everyone at the Thursday luncheon.
We enjoyed our time with you!


Back in 2010, our family climbed the Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacán, Mexico. Our muscles strained, our brows sweat as we ascended the 366' steep climb to the top. O, but what sweet relief to reach the pinnacle and take in the spectacular view.

How many comparisons can I make between that day and our time of itineration :)

We strain in hope, we sweat with anticipation, but alas, we are nearly there!

If you didn't know, Assemblies of God World Missionaries must raise monthly support and a cash budget.  The cash budget includes monies for airfare to the field, visa expenses, rent/utility deposits, work projects/equipment, language school, and other related expenses.

 Our focus this month is to raise $15,474 in cash.
And then we reach the itineration pinnacle.
Hooray!

Please, help get us to the top of the Itineration Pyramid with a one-time gift to our ministry. I'm sure the view will be great!

We're in it to win it!

Since we didn't make it to Nashville, IN on Valentine's day (remember our epic Valentine's day at Area 51), we thought we'd try again it on Saturday to break up the drive on our way down to Evansville. We were ten minutes from home when we discovered car trouble. 

Is this a joke?
Are the fates against us?
Would we ever get there?

Fortunately, we got home with no problems, rented a car, and then enjoyed a warm, sunny afternoon in Nashville! 


So glad we made it to Evansville so we could join Pastor Jay and Kimberly Nicoson and Oak Hill Christian Center for a great missions Sunday!


We met and conversed with a lot of wonderful people like Doreen from Zimbabwe, Noel from Jamaica, as well as two youngsters whose family originated from Mexico City.


We spoke in "big" church and kids church on this missions Sunday. Thank you pastors Amy and Aaron DeWitt and all the great Journey kids who helped look for our lost peso. And congrats to Eva who found it!


We're in it to win it!
Although $542 is a great number, it's time to lower it. 


Mexico City March Madness continues all this week so
join the team and help get us through the final elimination round!

Thank you!

Until the Whole World Hears again

So grateful we returned to Indianapolis on Friday to finish out missions week with Pastor Brian and Sheli Correll and New Beginnings Assembly of God.


Elephant thank you to missionaries Bernie and Brenda Smith for the great testimonies coming out of Togo and the West Africa Advanced School of Theology (WAAST).


On Saturday, the Women of Worth (WOW) ministries hosted a fun and inspiring luncheon.


Generosity and encouragement flowed from everyone involved. 
Thank you women of God. I believe in the sisterhood!



Don't forget:
March Madness all the way to Mexico City!
Hopefully later today I'll be sharing a new and improved (and lower) monthly goal :) 
(Just waiting on the official email.)
