Hi friends! We are all doing well. The ministry is exhausting, but our God is greater, stronger, and higher! 🙂 I wanted to put up some pictures of our homestead to show you all what daily life has become for us.We haven’t showered in over a week, we’ve gotten good at washing each other’s hair out of a bucket, and we’ve learned to cook enough for 21 people in a half-sized oven. hahaIt has been a learning experience to be sure. 🙂 Hey everyone…so we’ve been here a week. WOW it feels like so much longer than that. I got a...

The Days Never End Here…

The past couple of days have flown by as we come near, but continue to finish strong. Monday lived up to the name of Adventures in Missions with a glacier hike. It was really amazing. The next stop was Independence Mine at Hatcher’s Pass. The buildings still stand reminding us of Alaska’s past, but the highlight for Shane, BJ, Jason, and Casey was the view from the top of the mountain they rediscovered. Jordan, Lewis, and Carson found a little snow with a little off-trail hiking. The marmots hung out in the area, and Amanda even fed a squirrel...

Uganda

It seems like every country I travel to, the children have a saying that goes along with their country. In Nairobi, Kenya it was “Mzungu, Mzungu, How are you? How are you?” In Cebu they greeted us with a hand to the forehead and a “Hello Ate!” Here in Uganda, along with the Mzungu’s and the How are yous, the kids like to say Bye-eee, Bye-eee making a special emphasis on the eee :o) It is, of course, very cute! Well now it is our time to say Bye-eee and we will be off. Today we are spending the day cleaning and debriefing as a team. ...

It’s Tuesday morning. Our seventh so far. The sun is shining and there are team members spread around the house journaling, reading and listening to music. Its our hour set apart for quiet time after breakfast and showers. After this we’ll debrief our quiet time to see what God has revealed to each of us. It’s a powerful time when our joy, insecurities, hurts and excitement get voiced. When we pray over hurtful memories or feelings about who we are. Where we, as a team, teach each other how God sees us, instead of what the world sees. After this, we are ready to share life...

It truly has been an honor to lead a group that is made up of such amazing and beautiful people! Thank you for trusting us with them. We gave each participant a chance today to write a letter to everyone back home. Hope you enjoy! kindly,frank, bekah, and toni-lynn Ireland is such a beautiful land, like something you would find on a postcard. But once you look around and see large groups of teens wandering, smoking, drinking and hunched over literally looking for trouble – you realize that this beautiful place is far from picturesque. Also, the teens view of God and...
