Fountain Fun


We took the family to Lowery Park Zoo during Spring Break. Nathan and Ben loved playing in the fountains.

Crazy weather today

Today we had some crazy Florida weather. I was supposed to go to Fort Meade to share with some ranchers about our ministry, but we cancelled it because of the rain and floods that have been going on. I hope to get down there in the next few weeks to share with them.

Would you travel 300 miles for training?

One of our students in the certificate in youth ministry course that we offer on Saturdays lives in Aguscalientes, Mexico. Where’s that?

Aguascalientes is a city located about 500 kilometers away from our Seminary. The trip is 300 miles one way! That most likely means a pretty long (almost 6 hour) bus ride. But this student gladly travels round trip every Saturday to take the four hour class and improve his ministry to the young people of his church and community. Huberto told me that he even makes it to class on time.

There are many youth workers all over Mexico seeking out training and help for their youth ministries. In the coming years we would like to offer more training to different parts of Mexico (and other countries in Latin America).

Please pray that God will lead us to the right places to expand training. Please pray, also, that He would increase our ministry budget as we provide needed training to youth workers in Latin America. We are currently seeking to increase the ministry budget we have. If you would like to help, we’d love to have you on our partnership team.

Teaching them Young

Last night we went to the mall after dinner to let the kids run of some energy at the playground. We usually let Ben walk next to us so he gets a little extra exercise.

So we’re walking along and notice that Ben was lagging behind. Janell and I both turned around to look at him, and he was bending over picking up something off the ground.

While he is picking it up he was excitedly saying, “I found a coupon.” He held it up and it was a coupon for a free Chik-fil-a sandwich.

He is so much like his mother.

Little League Game #1

Nathan is playing T-ball at the Little League while we’re in the USA. Here is some video from his first two at-bats. We’re so happy he’s on the Rays.
