July Joys
This month has been memorable in many ways. We have had four separate teams here, and three of them were actually overlapping somewhat! The month started with a teen vision trip from our home church: Faith Baptist Church, in Taylors, SC. The team was comprised of youth pastor, Jordan Alexander, Eric & DeeDee Groves, and […]

Peeling Potatoes
Do you eat potatoes? Do you peel potatoes before eating them? Most French fries are peeled. Chicken and fries is one of the most common meals in Peru. Many towns and smaller cities do not have any North American fast restaurants. Chicken with fries is sometimes as close as it gets. The fries in these […]

Most international missionaries had plenty and never missed a meal, […]

We Pray… God Answers
November 18, 2021 The darkness enveloped us as we sleepily loaded ourselves into the car. More than one tired voice asked what time it was, as we prepared for another long road trip. The children surmised that it looked like midnight, while it was actually nearly 7a.m. What a difference from the jungle! One of […]

What are you looking for?
Earlier this week some friends invited us to go to the lake for some jet-ski fun. While riding around I was struck by the massive and beautiful architecture of a house on one side of the water. Anyone would immediately notice the size, but I had no idea of the true expanse. The house itself […]
