God is our provider

God continues to provide for our family!  We arrived at the Atlanta airport on July 18th ready to leave for Guatemala as a family for the first time.  When we got to the gate they announced that they were in need of 4 people to volunteer to wait and leave the next day.  They announced that for these 4 people they would give $600 each in vouchers for future Delta flights.  Kim and I looked at each other and moved to the counter as quick as we could.  The lady told us that she would give us the $600 each in vouchers, a hotel for the night, $120 in food vouchers, and put us on the same flight the next day in 1st class.  We jumped on this tremendous opportunity and blessing for our family.  Praise God!  Now our next flight to country is already paid for!

Since we have arrived, we have stayed at the Pinedas home in San Cristobal near the city.  Their hospitality is overwhelming to us.  The kids are doing wonderful.  The Pineda children have kept them entertained.  We were able to meet with John and Rita Pappa (missionaries to GUA past 17 years) on Tuesday, and get some good incite on many questions we have.  And on Wednesday, we were able to see the Brown family (missionaries to GUA through One Way Ministries past 7 weeks) to hear what they have gone through so far.  Today, Thursday, we said goodbye to the Pinedas.  We are now heading to La Antigua Guatemala to meet with a realtor and start the process of looking for a home for our family.

Keep praying!

July Family Trip to Guatemala

Kim, Brayden, Brianna, and myself will be leaving for Guatemala July 18th.  We will be spending 2 weeks in country visiting friends, looking for an apartment, and working with a One Way Ministries team that is coming in on the second week.  This is Brayden and Brianna's first time to be in the country that is soon to be our families new home.  We are all very excited about this trip, and feel blessed to get this opportunity.  Be watching for an update and photos after our return on July 31st.

Our support is coming along wonderfully.  We are now at 71% of our annually needed financial support.  Praise God!  Thank you to all that have partnered with us financially and/or in prayer.   We know that God will continue to provide and assist in the transition.  Being a partner in this ministry means that you are a part in all God uses us to do in Guatemala.  The people that will come to know Christ, the ones that will grow in their relationship with Christ, the food and clothes that will be shared, the work projects that will better the peoples lives, and our own family being blessed to do what God has called us to do.  Thank you.
