Mission: Urban

It’s been just over two weeks since we returned from La Plata, and I am still processing what we did and what happened there.  Some days it seems like it must have been a dream, and we weren’t actually there.  Other days I am SURE we were there, but it is like thinking about something [...]

Well, this was our last full day here in Argentina.  By this time tomorrow we will be in the air and on our way home.  It really hit home that we were leaving tomorrow as we were doing our online check-in to prepare for departure. I for one have mixed emotions as we prepare to [...]

It amazes me how God speaks to us.  It would be nice if sometimes he would just pop into my head and SPEAK to me, but then of course I would be completely terrified, so He never does (Thank you God!).  Instead he speaks to me through other people, scripture passages, situations, devotions, His creation [...]

Wow, today we traveled to Buenos Aries for a little sight seeing, and shopping for souvenirs.  But first, we all got up this morning just like any other morning.  Apparently there was QUITE a thunderstorm Sunday night.  When we first got up in the morning everything was wet, and everyone was talking about the thunder [...]

Sunday seemed to be more or less a day of rest (I may have read somewhere that someone planned it like that).  We began the day with a short period of worship.  I will admit that when we first got here, I felt a little “funny” having worship in the living room just sitting around [...]

Another AWESOME day with team La Plata.  Today we walked the neighborhood near Rich and Jill’s home.  This area was a little “rougher” than yesterday.  (Although Rich & Jill have a VERY nice home!) Near their home is what is called a Villa (Veesha) Miseria or “Village of Misery” (Villa for short).  In these areas [...]

Wow, what a day.  Today we began prayer walking in the urban environment here in La Plata.  Kellie and I are a “team”, which is really great for me.  We spent the morning today with Nate Dunlevy, walking inthe immediate neighborhood, learning of the contacts they have made here and a little about each person [...]
