It is only natural that you would want to get to know the loved ones of your loved ones. Parents want to meet their children’s friends; spouses need to meet one another’s families; friends hear about the new relationships that their friends are forming; and teammates meet the supporting congregations of their other teammates. Well, [...]
There are many things about the Fort Worth area that endear it to people: the Stockyards, downtown, shopping malls, sports teams, and more. But for our team, the most appealing aspect of Fort Worth is its central location. This past weekend, Team Lima gathered together in the Fort Worth area for three days of fellowship, [...]
The last several weeks have been filled to the brim with activity, all of which is pointing to our eventual “retreat” towards South America. Just before Christmas, we completed our Abilene portion of training with a team retreat. The retreat was led by the Halbert Institute of Missions. Our team gathered together with several godly [...]
It is really a bit crazy to think that in less than a month we will not all be in the same town once again. Holidays are usually full of business, traveling, time with family, sharing good news, and at times goodbyes. We are experiencing all of the above as a team. [...]
Just about a week ago, Mark and I had a great opportunity to spend a few days in Monclova, Mexico with a fabulous group of Christians.

We have been blessed with the chance to grow closer to one another, to the fulfillment of our dreams, and to God. We are learning more about each team member’s individual personality while seeing the personalities of our [...]
Team Lima took several more “baby steps” on our journey to becoming South American missionaries this past weekend. As with any journey in life, one’s goal is rarely reached through giant leaps, but rather through incremental steps made over a long period of time. We experienced several more of those small steps as we all [...]
Anyone ever read the book “Beyond the Gates of Splendor”? I was engrossed in this book from the time I read the first line! Maybe I had hoped to relate in a shallow sort of way to the adventure these men and women took on in bringing the Word of the Lord to [...]
Last weekend (January 26-27), our team came together in Lueders, Texas (the stompin’ grounds of Stanley Shipp) as we participated in a missionary assessment weekend hosted by the Halbert Institute of Missions (ACU). Can I say that every time this team gathers together that I become more and more excited about our dream to participate [...]
