they were here 3 years ago



By the end of that week there were walls.  Those walls were everywhere.  The children’s area had rooms.  The gym and bathrooms took shape.  The worship area had life and walls and even more of the stage.  This team took us in 4 days from 0 to 60 in record time.

3 years later we have come a very long way and have filled in lots of the gaps between the times that Men On a Mission was here then and now.  There are some huge pieces that this team is set to accomplish this coming week.  Some of these will make is look different.  Some of these will make it so much stronger.

Will you pray for the team?  Pray for safety and great work conditions.  Will you come work with us?  Yes, I will be working some.  If you live close by and have some time and are a man, you can come help.  Come on out.

The skylights are coming out, and there are lots and lots of those.  The roof is being strengthened.  The ceiling is getting some awesome insulation.  These pieces of insulation will make the place look way different and to help hold the temperature at the right spot.  There are some walls that will get insulation.  The front entry wall of the church is going to be built, and this is one of my favorite pieces that I cannot wait to see (a couple pieces of this need to come together just right).

So, why am I telling you more of the happenings for the coming week as Men On a Mission team will be working on our future campus?  I am telling you this because this is so awesome, but remember the church is really not about the building. 

The building is a tool to reach more people with the love of God.  We will be able to go further, serve more and seek to help people open their eyes to see Jesus.  I can see it.  You need to see it!

1 Corinthians 9:22  NASB
To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak; I have become all things to all men, so that I may by all means save some.

Meet people where they are.  Meet their needs and win the right to talk about the love of God.

Acts 2:43-45  NASB
Everyone kept feeling a sense of awe; and many wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles.  And all those who had believed were together and had all things in common; and they began selling their property and possessions and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you

why is it Good Friday?

  Holy Week is the time we focus on God and His gift of salvation.  We come to Friday.  The day we remember the cross, Jesus’ death and all God has done for you and me   Why do they call this day “Good Friday” because it doesn’t seems good?   Jesus was treated as a criminal.  He was beaten so much that He could not recognize Him.  His pain would have been too much for you or me to endure.  That is especially from Scripture I’ve read or as in the movie the  Passion of the Christ .   Yet it is a good day.  It is Good Friday because God had our good in His heart.  What Jesus did that day changed our forever direction. Here are some thoughts that come to me:   He is Redemption and Redeemer   He too our Pain and Punishment   He is our Righteousness and Reality   He is the Savior and Life   All of those happened from the cross.  It was meant for the worst lawbreakers.  It was not meant for a Savior who never broke a law.  It was lifted high so that onlookers could see the price Jesus.   Look

Day 8 in Cuba

We have just come off and incredible weekend, and it is day 8 of the mission trip in Cuba.  Thank you to all who have been praying for this trip, the mission team and the impact it will have on those we serve.   Please don’t stop praying. Last week Alex and I served with a mission team in the mountains of southern Cuba.  There were several challenges, but God gave us safety, provision and opportunity to serve some of the sweetest people I have ever met.  No running water… sporadic electricity generated by a small, logo dammed up river, no transportation other than animals, limited food sources and more.  These people love the Lord and sharing their faith with others. Over the weekend we made our way back to Havana.  On Friday our vehicle broke down leaving us on the side of the road for several hours.  We then boarded a bus and rode 14 hours.  We arrived safely and even got some rest. Sunday was so, so good.  We visited two partner churches.  In the morning we were with one church that
