  • End of May 2015

    It’s feels like a while since I’ve written. I posted recently my support letter for the China mission trip though. Not a lot of response yet, but we’ve got time. Mike and I have been dining out at some really nice places and eating some really nice food. Unfortunately we’re…

  • #Missiontrip 2015 #fundraising

    If I were to auction off a 1 week hotel/resort stay any where to help raise money for my mission trip to China, would anyone be interested? You’d be responsible for getting yourself there, but the hotel/resort would be free. Thoughts??? Support letters are going in the mailbox today! Support…

    For over 60 years, [North] Sudan and South Sudan have experienced extreme levels of violence and human trafficking.
