We’re sure the threat from this virus has disrupted your lives too. Here’s how the virus is affecting us at the moment:
The trip to Mexico is cancelled (or at least postponed a few months). Your donations toward this trip are safe with Sabre missions, and will be used for whenever this trip happens, whether or not our family takes part. Please pray for the four families that are waiting for houses we had intended to build.
Everything else in the short term is cancelled too, as you know.
Some Praises
We already work from home and home-school, so the extent to which our lives are altered by this virus is less than many. Before the virus was found in our area, we already had the respiratory flu, so had already been keeping to ourselves. We are so grateful to live in a digital age where so much is available online! We’ve enjoyed holding our own worship services at home, with songs requested by the kids, an online sermon, and discussion. (We even had communion with crackers and Emergen-C). We’re grateful for the help of several others at Glad Tidings Bible Camp, at a work party to get the kitchen and dish room back to ready for use! The kitchen now includes stainless countertops, a steam-table serving line and standardized dishes! The dish room also include stainless countertops, a commercial dishwasher and sanitizer and a revamped workflow.
Thanks for keeping us in prayer as we do our best to support and encourage missionaries and ministries in this challenging time!
In March, we and several others are planning to go to Tecate, Mexico to help build houses for families in need! We will be hosting a free dinner so that you can learn more about it. You’ll have the opportunity to help us raise support by purchasing some of our creative crafts, amazing paintings or bake sale items! You can also bring donation items to help families in Mexico.

Dear Friends and Family –
As many of you know, some portion of our family has gone to Tecate, Mexico for the past several years. Each year, we join Sabre missions from Colorado Springs who coordinates with a few churches in Tecate. We drive from Colorado to Tecate (which is just across the Mexican border from San Diego), and build houses for families in need, who are chosen by the local churches. Additionally, we conduct a three-day Vacation Bible School for neighborhood kids. We act out the lessons (since we don’t speak much Spanish), and have a great time playing with the kids – some years there are up to fifty kids who attend!
This year the trip is from March 20-30, and our whole family has the opportunity to go together, and rebuild houses that were burned in wildfires last fall. Two of the houses burned were built in previous years by groups with Sabre missions, and we hope to rebuild an additional two houses for families in the same neighborhood. Would you please consider supporting us in one or more of the following ways?
We are trusting God to raise $4,350 to pay for our family’s food, lodging, travel expenses and a portion of the building materials for the houses.
Please pray regularly for us, especially while on the trip. We’ll provide a prayer calendar, but especially want prayer for health, transportation, finances and a Godly witness everywhere we go.
If you would like to contribute directly to these families, we are collecting donations of personal hygiene products, small toys and games, school supplies and household items (towels, washcloths, wash tubs, clothespins, small sewing kits) to give them at the dedication of their new home
