Good morning everyone!
I have a lot I’d like to share with you, but I will attempt to keep it short. After I got back from Guatemala at the end of February, my mother had a small stroke (a TIA, they call it) and I have been spending a little more time, along with my sisters, helping Dad care for Mom. Fortunately she is doing better, and I have been getting back to a more normal schedule.
Today, I’d like to share a few pictures from that trip with Ray Gurney, pastor of Cross Creek Baptist in Oak Grove, Missouri. We had a great time and were able to follow up on several projects. We made the rounds between the children’s home in Monjas, our cowboy friends in several places, a senior adult center in Santa Cruz, speaking to a coffee growers class in Barberena, and a motorcycle gathering in Amberes! Before I share those pictures, I want to tell you a little bit about our next adventure in a few weeks.
Soccer trip in Nicaragua April 22-27
We have a team of 9 of us from Lenexa Baptist who will travel to Nicaragua April 22-27 for a soccer related project in Rio Blanco, Nicaragua. Eduardo Mejia, the leader for that ministry in Nicaragua, was here in Kansas City Monday night, March 24th, for a training event, and our team is excited about going! Stay tuned for more about that trip.
“MAPS” Gets Translated into Spanish!
Before I show you trip pictures, I need to let you know that thanks to our good friend, Selvinth Maldonado, our monthly “MAPS” plan for having a daily conversation with Jesus is being translated each month into Spanish! Please pray for Selvinth as he begins another baseball season this week as the chaplain for the Kansas City Royals Spanish speaking players. Down below you will find the links to all our MAPS stuff and to our Zoom call scheduled for this Sunday, March 30th, at 4pm. If you need the Spanish versions, let me know and we can get those to you.
