GRACE TRIP BLOG – DAY TWO

You do not know this about me but I am not a computer guru.  Cannot get the aglimpseofgrace website to allow me to post a blog entry.  So, I am doing one here in case anyone is interested in the happenings this trip.

Our actual first day of being in Guatemala started out typical but then went in a totally different direction.  Devotion was at 7:00AM which was early for our late night arrivals.  Lana Lollar, Darin Price and Pastor BJ Parson did an excellent job of leading our musical worship.  Juan Marcos Ruiz provided a huge assist by running the sound.  Such a nice guy.  We spent some time in the Word and then headed out.

The entire team plus went down the hill about five minutes away and hosted the students and faculty from the My Special Treasure School for a field day.  There were one hundred and forty two of them.  They were given breakfast and lunch.  I think everyone had a good day.

Seven of our guys went in the latter part of the afternoon and started on the house building.  Two of them were framed up and are basically ready for the tin.

After the field day, Deidra and others took those who sponsor a child in the feeding center to visit their child’s family in their home.  That was a neat experience.

Tonight was spent around the table enjoying a good meal and fellowship.

Tomorrow we feed folks displaced by the volcano, do the feeding center and build houses.

Pray for this team.  Thanks for checking on them.

Blessings!

P.S. – Jennifer Brinkman is the ultimate helicopter mom!  Just saying!

FRIDAY, 6/22/18 – SECOND ENTRY

My brain is not working so great this morning.  Forgot to mention in my first entry that the Friendship family will host a service at the Mission of Hope tonight beginning at 7:00PM.  Everyone is invited.

Also, Evangelist Michael Mason will be filling our pulpit in all three services this Sunday, 6/24.  I am asking each member of the Friendship family to be in their rightful place for the services.  I have sent an e-mail to our deacons asking them to lead the way in this area and I feel certain they will.  Remember, we will be receiving a love offering for Bro. Michael in all three services so pray and give as the Lord leads.

We have a few openings on our December 1 – 8, 2018 GRACE Ministries trip and the airfares out of Mobile are extremely good right now.  They most likely will not stay that way for long.  So, if you have any interest in taking part in that trip then you need to contact me via e-mail like yesterday!  This is a great trip for those who sponsor a child in the feeding center program.  Pray about it!  (But do not pray long or the fares may increase!).

Blessings!

FRIDAY, 6/22/18

“Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.” (Ephesians 4:32)

I am living by the “no news is good news” philosophy this morning as I have heard nothing from home so I assume all is well.

It is shortly after 1:00AM here in Guatemala and our last crew (25 in number) just arrived from the airport about thirty minutes ago.  They left New Orleans just before 4:00PM and were then delayed by an hour or so in Houston.  They are tired folks but came with really good attitudes.  They have already learned about being flexible and are doing well with it.

Pastor Jordan and Pastor BJ arrived with their folks (23 in number) around 3:00PM yesterday.  They left Huntsville at 5:30AM yesterday so they found the beds fairly quickly last night.  Some really good folks from Ethelsville Baptist and Thelma Baptist in Wetumpka.  We have ten folks staying off campus as the mission house can only sleep forty folks.  Those ten have taken it all in stride too.

I would ask you to pray for one of my maternal uncles, Bill Brown.  He lives in Paw Paw, Michigan.  I found out today that he suffered a heart attack over the weekend and had to have four stents put in place.  It is my understanding that he is a bit anxious so I would appreciate your prayers for him.

The hour is late and little Lisa (Deidra) is demanding that I be in the kitchen at 5:00AM!  As they say, the pear does not fall far from the tree!

I pray that you will have a great Friday with Jesus.
