Hello friends,
Wow — time has really flown by these last couple of months! It’s been a full and busy summer, and we’re so thankful for all that God has done. His faithfulness has carried us through a season filled with ministry.
Our five feeding centers have been running strong, and I’ve been involved in tween ministry, special evangelism events, optical exams, and welcoming teams who’ve come to serve alongside us. It’s been such a blessing to be part of it all.
Thank you so much for your continued prayers and support. It’s truly an honor to serve Jesus, and your partnership is what makes it possible for me to be here.
In June, a team from Cross Assembly — my home church — came to serve with us for a week. It was such a joy to have a little piece of home here with me!
The team worked on Sunday school rooms for one of the church plants and feeding centers I’m involved with, and we held seven outreach events throughout the week. One of the highlights was getting to go into public schools and share the love of Jesus. We saw over seven people make decisions for Christ — praise God!
Just a week later, we welcomed another team! I had the opportunity to assist with optical exams, which is always such a meaningful experience. It never gets old watching someone’s face light up when they can finally see clearly — it’s truly amazing.
These exams are such a powerful tool for showing the love of Jesus in a practical way and opening the door to share the gospel. After each exam, we get to pray with the individuals, which makes the experience even more special.
Our tween program is still going strong! This ministry focuses on girls that are aging out of one of our programs, giving them a space to stay connected, grow in their faith, and just have fun. Each week, they get to enjoy age-appropriate crafts and hear the Word of God.
I'll be honest — this program has stretched me personally, especially since crafting isn’t exactly my strength! But God has been so faithful, and He’s using even the small things to reach these girls. They truly love our Saturdays together, and so do I.
Our feeding centers are up and running, and it’s such a blessing to be a part of them. Each week, the program runs a lot like a Vacation Bible School — we have songs, games, a memory verse, a Bible story, and of course, the children receive a nutritious meal.
It’s truly amazing to watch these kids grow week by week — not just physically, but spiritually too. Many of them are now learning and reciting their memory verses perfectly. It’s such a joy to see their excitement and hunger for God’s Word.
One of my ongoing responsibilities is transporting the food we receive from Convoy of Hope to each of our feeding centers. The furthest center is about four hours away, and as you can imagine, the roads here in Honduras can be pretty rough.
Because of that, my van has needed quite a few repairs — and the biggest expense has been tires. They cost around $200 each, and I’ve already had to replace seven of them. Please keep me and my van in your prayers as I continue making these trips!

Prayer Requests
That our children’s programs continue to clearly show the love of Jesus and that more hearts would come to know Him personally.
For strength, encouragement, and endurance for our local pastors and leaders — that they would continue faithfully in the work God has called them to.
For wisdom, peace, and guidance as I prepare for upcoming transition.
