Evangelizing the Deep Jungle
By Ryan Lawless To start with, let me ask for prayers. Last week, a man named Cesar and his family, wife America and 5 kids, lost their home to a fire. We must offer praises to our Lord because not a single person was injured. They lost everything. When this man showed up at our mission house last week, Padre…
God will always provide: Medical Mission Trip to Peru
By Taryn Breaux: a short-term mission trip participant My first mission trip to Picota, Peru was such a wonderful reminder and confirmation that God does provide and that He is totally in control.

Back in Kansas: A Tale of Our God’s Great Providence
“Seek first the kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides.” Mt 6: 33 Great news of God’s Providence!

The Power of the Eucharist
By Alyse S. I just felt compelled to share a beautiful moment I had with Christ this afternoon. I was sitting in mass, before the consecration, and thought of how great it’d bee to see Jesus come into the Eucharist.

The JOY of Being Exhausted
By Sarah Summers Granger Are you exhausted? Today I got a short nap and sat down with a warm cup of coffee to write this blog, my baby is sleeping, my 12 year old is happily homeschooling next to me, and I am not exhausted.

Mark Dave’s Dream House
Meet our friend Mark Dave! During our first visit to Isla Bonita last year, Mark Dave wasone of the first people to welcome us. Many people were shy initially around us “Americanos,” but not Mark Dave. He wanted to learn our names, show us around, and he just talked and talked and talked to us…he didn’t seem to mind one…
The Courage to Become a Missionary
By: Amber Perron I consider myself the least likely candidate for missions in the whole world. I can’t stand trying new foods, I’m super shy, I am very fearful, and I don’t like doing anything daring, adventurous, or different. So why on earth am I a missionary?
