    You’re serving again! A great verse for you: Romans 9:21…Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use?

    Guatemala…a special place 🙂 Al…a special child of God!

    Praying for you guys! Mom twisted her knee the last time she got up Saturday. It’s quite swollen and very painful. I’m giving her the liquid morphine for the pain so she is either sleeping or very confused. I’m getting some pretty wild stories out of her this AM. Please pray for pain relief/comfort.
    Love you! See you soon.

  8. What an incredible experience for all of you!. We specifically prayed for your mom this morning and peace for you and Kris. All the smiles from the pictured indicate God is blessing your time there. Continue to shower down his sonshine on the people you are blessing and the people you are working together with!

  14. Al, my thoughts and prayers continue to be with you and your family every day. It is great to see the work and play of the group. I can feel the energy just by looking at the pictures and reading about what is going on. On this side of the world, Seth found a stick from a beech tree and will likely work on it next week when he is camping at TriPonds. Blessings to you as you share your life with the people of Guatemala. You are planting seeds that will produce kingdom fruit, the best-tasting kind.

  16. Happy Father’s Day Al,
    Praying that you have a fabulous last day in Guatemala. It will be a blessing to learn even more about the ministry of Paradise Bound. Praying that as the team prepares for their final worship time tonight that hearts are being prepared. Thank you for your leadership! You have been a blessing. You and your mom have also been in my prayers all week.
