Prayer First


Step one: seek prayer to discern His will. 

I spoke last time about the trip opportunities available.  I am richly blessed in that time is not a problem.  The one or two week trips are easily do-able.  Funds are another discussion and are needed. 

After many starts I finally got my email prayer warrior request off.  Bathed in prayer is as essential as the “going”.  “Which”, “Any” or “All”, is in God’s hands and as Joshua stood on the edge of the Jordan River and received the instruction to be strong and courageous,  (Joshua), I know the when, where and how are all worked out.  I’ve all ready received response from a very good friend telling that determination is often a matter of where is the greatest need:  If you are trying to pick up a heavy log and you’ve ten men on one end and one man on the other where to go is well determined.   Each of the trips need workers on both ends of the log. 

Karen and I had the pleasure of worship today with our daughter family and extended family at Covenant Life Church.  Pastor spoke well on Matthew 3:13 through 4:11.  Praise God for victory!  He finished with exhortation from Philippians 1:3-4.  My prayer is that with every thought of you I would turn it to a prayer to Him for your safe keeping!
Thank you for praying.

Mission Trips


I have four trips to be placed before our Lord:  June trip to Belize, with Gene Tibbs and Scott McGregor, to engage in evangelism supported by a beans, rice and flour distribution ministry starting in two different and diverse congregations.  The second trip is a two week medical clinic ministry lead by my good friend, mentor and team leader, Dr Doreen Marr, to Peru in support of a regional church plant, The Rockwell.  The third team is also a Medical effort being lead by my friend Marcie Hefner to Acapulco, first week of November.  Karen and I will be on this team.  Wellness checks to a local orphanage,  Casa de Hogar Orphanage   as well as clinics in support of host church plants in rural areas.  The fourth team is again going to Belize both for evangelism and to assist at Unity School in January of 2013,  Unity School .


There is an opportunity for you on each of these trips.  Does not matter your experience level or specialty.  If God has blessed you this is a perfect opportunity for you to give back.  The medical trips, (Peru, Acapulco), are in special need of licensed folk to step to the plate, (Drs, paramedic, Rn, Lpn, PT, OT, etc)
