Meet Dan and Treva

Meet the team (well, most of us)! This picture was taken at our last get together in June. We hope to introduce you to each person a little bit on our trip. For now, we'd like you to meet Dan and Treva. Dan is second from the right and Treva is wearing the black shirt to the left of him. They live in northern Indiana near the Michigan border. Hannah and I knew their son and daughter-in-law before we met them, since Derrick, their son, and Betzy, their daughter-in-law, go to church with us and are actively involved in the Hispanic ministry at Fall Creek Baptist Church.

Dan speaks Spanish fairly well and has gone on these trips many times. He's been one of the primary organizers and coordinators of this trip and we are very grateful for him. Treva has been the quieter of the two, but she has a warm smile and is looking forward to being with the MKs (missionary kids) and serving in Mexico.

Please keep these two in your prayers (as well as the rest of the team) that they would be strongly united in love, seeking to serve one another, the team, and the people in Mexico with grateful hearts. They have been instrumental in making sure this trip goes off without a hitch, and if something were to go wrong, it won't be because of them.

What's Going On?

If you're like me, you often ask people the question, "What's going on?" I don't normally ask it as a greeting. It usually arises out of total confusion and lack of any knowledge about the events that are transpiring around me.

But as of right now I know exactly what's going on. Hannah and I, along with a team of about 18 other people, are traveling down to Querétaro, Mexico, at the end of the month. Why? To put on a rockin' awesome VBS for MK's (missionary kids) while other team members hold a special retreat for their parents. The missionary families look forward to this annual event because they get a break from their ministry responsibilities and get to spend time with their family away from home speaking in their heart language. And God, in His providence, has seen fit to allow Hannah and I to participate in this special time.

Please pray for us and our team as we earnestly seek to serve God in a way that pleases Him, not that He needs us or that we have done anything to deserve this privilege, but because His mercy and grace to us.

In the days to come, we look forward to introducing you to our team and the amazing work God is doing through His people in Mexico!
