Why Are We Blogging?

In 2007 we set out for Chihuahua, Mexico with the goal to spread the love of Christ. During our two weeks there, God began to reveal his heart for the nations to us. It is that heart for the nations that we long to know more intimately. We want to see the renown of His name spread across the earth. We want to see people freed from bondage and brought into His marvelous light.

On June 1st, we will again embark on a journey to Mexico. This year, we have a fresh passion to approach the systemic issues that have been overlooked. How can we address the physical situation with compassion? What can we do to bring healing to the physical as well as the spiritual diseases? We want to love in a way that brings change; we want to give medical and educational support for the impoverished families.
We are reminded of the ministry approach of Jesus. He met people where they were at. None were the same after an encounter with Christ. He left each person changed in some way.

We will be working with local missionaries and churches to maximize our effectiveness. Combined with their experience and connections, we will have a much more poignant and deeper impact.

We set up this blog so that you can pray, partner, and journey with us!

(Keep checking back as we post stories, pictures, and videos.)

We hope you, too, begin to catch a glimpse God's heartbeat for the nations.
