Katie's in Africa - David's Headed to Mexico

It seems like every Missions Trip I've ever been on.... that I get blessed more than any blessing I go to pour out. God is amazing that way. I'm supposed to go and bless yet I wind up blessed.

The only thing that is proving to be even more blessing is to watch my children GO!

Almost the entire family has been to the missions field with us. We WANT our children to GO and serve.

Lea has served in several countries including Sri Lanka (post Tsunami).
Her heart was broken and God did an amazing work in her.

David is leaving for Matamoras, Mexico today.
He will be building houses in a very poor and impoverished part of the country.
At 14... this should be an amazing God experience for him. That is our prayer.

Katie is in Zambia right now!!!
She is about 2.5 weeks into a 2 MONTH trip that will include ministry in So. Africa.
Much of her trip will be spent coming alongside AIDS/HIV patients. In Zambia she is working mostly in orphanages with kids who have lost their parents to the deadly disease.

We got this picture of her in action this week.



We are deeply moved that God would use her and are thankful for her willing heart.

We have established a blog to post info about Katie and her trip as we receive it. You can follow her AFRICA ADVENTURE by clicking here.

Word of advise to parents: SEND THEM!!!
God will use your kids in amazing ways!
