Mommy & Sara I miss you. I was looking down the driveway a long time yesterday just waiting for you to come get me. I am trying to be good and don't understand why grandma keeps giving me baths....3 baths in 3 days is a little over the top! I love you!

Hello to the team! Been praying that everyone be blessed with good health and a "God experience". Vika, I thought of you yesterday while I was floating in the pool. I can tell by the pictures that you are such a blessing to the children. Your joy is so contagious, and God's love definitely flows through you! I prayed He would keep you safe and well, that he would give you peace if you were homesick, and that you would see Him in a whole new way! Jeanne, this morning I thought of you. I prayed for good health and endurance, for a special time with your son, and for God to reveal himself in new ways to you! I also prayed for Randy, being apart from his spouse. I've been praying for the people, that their hearts would be open to receive the message, and that they would see Christ in each and every one of you. I am filled with joy for all of you and what God is doing. Looking forward to what you have to share!! Your sis in Christ.

Becky and Sara, we are so happy that you have gotten to go on this special journey together. God is doing such wonderful things there in Belize through you. I know you will have wonderful things to share with us all when you get back. We look forward to seeing you when you get back. We love you very much and are praying for you everyday.

Hello my team!! I am so sad to not be with you in Belize. I am reading about your days of ministry and so very proud. You have invested so much in these relationships and of course the church building! Stay strong these next few days as God continues to use you in Mighty Mighty ways. Much love!!!

OK, Joe and John. All star game....National league won 8-0. Looking like you are continuing some awesome work there in Belize. The church is LOOKING GOOD!! Weather starting to warm up here and clear blue skies continue. Wondering how Reid, Jenny, Tim, Laura and Russ are holding up?? Praying daily for you and your endurance. You are all such an inspiration to me. God is using you in so many ways to glorify Himself. That is just so great!! John and Joe, love you and missing you VERY much......house not the same without you here. Keep sharing those Spirit filled hearts.

Vika --So glad to know you are at your destination and actively involved in the " mission" work. What an awesome experience for you to serve our GREAT GOD in this way. It is much cooler here than back home and we watched the fireworks display in our light jackets ! Blueberries are ripe and thimbleberries "your favorite" are begiining as well. Well we are praying for you everyday and so far it sounds like you are doing very similar things like we have done without translators? Remember that the Bible says to"trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path". By doing this you will be amazed how God will lead you in unexplainable situations to glorify Himself. That's what being used by God is all about!! We will be anxious to hear how God uses you and your team to glorify Himself in Belize. Love you G & G

Hey Jenny L., Just wanted to let you know, I was thinking about you all day today and you were in my prayers! I hope all is going well with you and that precious little baby!

Seth, Jeanne and Team. We are praying for you all as you serve in Belize and share the amazing Love of Christ with amazing people. Praying that God will spark in your hearts a deep seeded love for Him and desire to be His witnesses to the ends of the earth for all your days. Praying Ephesians 3:20 " Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine according to the spirit that is at work in you."

Hello Belizian missions team! We dearly miss you and take great comfort in knowing that our most awesome LORD GOD is doing an amazing work through the willing servants of you all. We pray diligently for you all to be transformed by the power of HIS mighty hand working through you this week. I would have loved to have joined you. Where I was weak, you were strong and there you are. GOD bless this team! Dyl and I are enjoying our time together, the house is still standing, the garden is growing and producing abundantly. No doubt from HIS hand. Went swimming and fishing and helped Grandpa and grandma water their little trees and lilacs. Today is work day in the living room as well as tomarrow. Plan to have it ready for weekend of hanging drywall on the ceiling. Did we mention that we miss you Becky and Sara terribly so! I amble around looking for you and neither are there. Dan Hi mom and Sara miss and love you both! See you both soon! Dylan

Good Morning Becky & Sara! It is a wonderful 64 degrees outside this morning....we are saving the 'hot' weather for when you get back. Sorry this took so long; we had the wrong password. Daniel tried to send something yesterday as well. I am a 'little green' thinking about all the opportunities God is giving you to serve. I will continue to uphold you in prayer as He works in and through you for 'HIS GOOD PURPOSE' May you be strengthen with might by His Spirit; may Christ dwell in your hearts by faith; May you know the love of Christ and filled with all the fullness of God. I look forward to hearing more of your adventures when you return home.

It's a beautiful morning here in sunny Wisconsin. 70 degrees and breezy. My heart and spirit smile as I think of you all in Belize, being obedient to his word in reaching the world with His gospel. I'm excited for the fellowship you will have with God and one another, and I'm excited for how God is going to use you! This morning I prayed for each and every one of you. You are on my heart, in my thoughts, and in my prayers.
