A Gift

Some of my greatest memories from childhood and earliest, are that of being soothed by my mother singing to me as she cradled me in her lap and rocked me. She was there when I was sick, or couldn´t sleep. She was there to encourage me along the way, in all of life´s challenges.

As a parent, we have a privilege, a certain understanding of that unconditional, unfailing, love. From the very moment your baby comes into the world, the raw amazement and glorious wonder of a God that allows us to share in such beautiful love.

If we know the true living God, we know that this is what He wants for us. He longs to nurture us and sooth us with His love.

We are excited to share with you that He has granted us as parents another gift.  We are expecting! Our little Kalea will have her baby brother around July 31st. We ask that you would pray for us for continued good health as we travel and work here in Panamá.

    We saw your little video last night at our churches AGM. It is great to see a greater emphasis on missions abroad and locally. We thank God for you and pray that God will keep you in His peace, his wisdom, His courage and His health.
    Sincerely, John
