As most of you know, for the past few weeks we have been praying and waiting for the men of Qhochumi to call us, asking that our guys would come back and continue to share stories from God’s Word. They have not called and we can wait no longer. We are, of course, feeling sad, [...]

Lies, Lies, Lies

The other night at our Halloween party, some of our friends hadn’t seen upstairs in our house and asked to see it. I said, sure, having forgotten what a mess it was. I had cleaned downstairs were everyone was congregated but didn’t have time to devote to upstairs. When we went up I was so [...]
A Lighter Fare
Posted in Uncategorized on November 4, 2009 | 4 Comments »
I have a lot of blogs floating around in my head, but I thought I’d lighten things up with something I thought some of you might find interesting. It is surprising what you can find here in Bolivia and what you can’t. Some things that I would think that I would never be able to find are easily [...]
Racism Runs Deep
Posted in Uncategorized on November 3, 2009 | 4 Comments »
One thing I have seen in the few cultures I have come into contact with is that not one of them is exempt from racism. It is an ugly and natural part of our flesh. Even in the most remote areas, or I might say especially in the most remote areas, anything different is wrong. If you [...]
Party!

I have learned that the things that get to me here are the little things. Every now and then something just hits me wrong and I miss home. Saturday morning I woke up sad, because it was a holiday. I was thinking about everything back home from fall festivals to trick-or-treaters. Halloween is a big [...]
Some Good News

Thank you all so much for praying and for your encouraging words through emails or blog posts. Please continue to pray for us and the team as this is just a downright discouraging time for our ministry right now.
I thought I would take a break from all of the bad news to give you some [...]
Tired

We had to go to Cochabamba last week to start on our two-year visa work. Yes, our one-year visa is already almost up and it is time to start again. This time seems to be much easier though. We decided to take the guys with us and have a little mini retreat for the team. [...]
Not for Lack of Prayer

We are still waiting for the call. The guys think it will come this weekend when some of the men normally go to larger towns that have phones.
Thanks again for all of your prayers. We are amazed to see how God has called so many to pray for so few. It is really a beautiful [...]
Qhochumi Update

Saturday Trent and Simon met our three guys, Roberto, Efrain, and Javier, in a larger, neighboring community to find them feeling discouraged, helpless, and sad. They all discussed what they should do and decided to head to Qhochumi early the next day, Sunday, to talk with the men of the community and find out what [...]
Urgent Prayer Request
Posted in Uncategorized on October 17, 2009 | 5 Comments »
As many of you know, the main community where our team has been working for the past year and a half is a small village called Qhochumi. A few months back, the guys told the first story that included baptism in it and our “man of peace,” Celedonio, soon after told them that he wanted [...]
