Welcome to my blog/site. Glad you stopped by. True story. I've been in student ministry for a while now and this is a way to track with what's going on in my life and ministry. Thanks for jumping along for the ride.
Been home from our mission trip for almost a month now… and enough time to take a few moments to scribble down some overall thoughts on our mission trip to Merida, Mexico. So here goes… * It was an interesting week for me- being “the leader” in a good way. Most trips I’ve been on [...]
FRIDAY Shalom Work We finished up our construction at Shalom this morning. It was another sweaty concrete filled morning and again the team was incredible. We finished helping mix and pour concrete on the 2nd story floor. Before we left most of the team left their work shoes and gloves for the local workers who [...]
Work Not gonna lie, we had some hard work to do today and it got done. We made concrete with a machine (adding buckets of sand, rocks & water plus a bags of concrete) poured it out, shoveled it into buckets and then made a link to get the buckets to the roof where some [...]
Random Thoughts If you play “punch buggy” you’ll be sore here. There are VW bugs everywhere. By day 3 the guys had to stop hitting each other. Interestingly enough… Burger King is way bigger here than McDonalds. We’ve passed some huge BK’s and not even seen a MCD’s. Daniel told me that’s because BK came [...]
At Shalom Church This morning I met with Lupita and we practiced the next 2 nights of stories for VBS with different teams. Very excited about what the teams cooked up, going to be some fun & engaging stuff for the chillens. At the same time we were loading concrete blocks up on a roof [...]
Shalom Today was spent at Shalom. We had breakfast there (cheese quesadillas & cinnamon rolls) and then got to work outside. I met with the Childrens ministry director to talk through our plan for VBS. We also met with the team doing the story tonight at the VBS to do a walk through rehearsal so [...]
Breakfast at the Hotel Buffet of some local stuff and traditional stuff. Not sure what all of it was, but it was good. Church At Shalom Really cool hearing songs you’ve heard before in another language. For some strange reason the pastor did the whole message in Spanish. As I was sitting there taking it [...]
Not sure how much time/margin I’ll have to blog this week. But I managed to jot a few things down today in the middle of all our travel. It’s been a long day of travel and we have a long week ahead of us. We have spotty wi-fi at the hotel.. if I get time [...]
Hey blog friends… So it’s been a while- on purpose. The last month or so for me has been incredible. The Lord has been doing some serious work on my heart. It has been a bit messy, but I feel like a different person today than I was even a few weeks ago. And that [...]
I recently have made a big decision- well a big decision for me. For the last 14 years I’ve always had at least one (at times many) student small groups that I’ve had a chance to lead and invest in. My current group of guys (aka the studs) are about to be Seniors. They are [...]
