Jake…you are on your way to Guatemala!! After all these months of planning and preparing to go, you are in the air right now! So thrilled that you are on this trip. Your heart for serving others is such a blessing! You have so many gifts and talents that are going to make an impact on this team and to all you meet. Praying for safety, good health and many changed lives
Jacob , have a great trip! If you need to give a father figure a big hug, give one to Al Jurgens and call him Woody. He’ll get a chuckle out of That! Keep safe and don’t drink the water.
Jake, we are so proud of you and so thankful for this opportunity you have to be part of this team and serve the people in Guatemala. Praying for you today in your travels and that tomorrow your gifts, talents and the work of your hands will bless the lives of those around you.
Hi Jake,
Hope you have a great day building! Have Fun! Praying for good weather and safety on the jobsite today. May you see God in amazing ways today!
Jacobo,
Praying that you stay healthy and that you are able to share God’s love on this trip through the work that you do and the people that you meet.
Jake, looks like you had a great day and wonderful weather. God is good. Praying that you sleep well tonight and have a wonderful day tomorrow. Keep your eyes open and you will see God do amazing things.
Jake you and the group are in our thoughts and prayers this week. Praying that you will all shine for Christ as you serve for him. Grandpa and I will be heading out tomorrow for MN. May this experience be a wonder blessing for you and others as well. Love you
Jake, We thought of you and prayed for you all day today. We miss you here. 🙂 We hope you had a great day today, we hope you had many opportunities to experiencing Gods greatness in His creation around you as you walked through your day. Keep your eyes and heart open as you continue to do your called work for His kingdom. Hope you sleep well tonight, knowing that you are in His will and in the palm of His hand so that you can wake up again tomorrow ready to serve!
So glad you are serving this week with this team in this place. Pastor Kevin quoted this verse on the blog this morning, and it’s a good one. Romans 10:15…And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”
Jake,
You are in our thoughts and prayers this week. How wonderful it is to see you and everyone else follow the example of Christ. Mark 10:45, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”
Hey Jake! Had to let you know that the Samdal family is praying for you and all the team. We know that you are going to rock building the homes and your friendly personality is going to be so contagious to all the families that you are helping. Prayers continue!
Mrs. Samdal
Hey Jake, we are all enjoying the photos as we follow along with you each day on this wonderful adventure.
“The faithful love of the Lord never ends. His mercies never cease! Great is His faithfulness! His mercies begin afresh every morning.”
Jake, as you start another day tomorrow full of new adventures, know that God is there walking beside you and already has everything laid out for you as you complete His work and serve the people in Guatemala.
Hi Jacob We are glad you could go on the mission trip and God is taking care of you. You will have many good memories to last a lifetime. Grandma and Grandpa A
I miss you so much over here! I’m counting down the days until we can bring you home! I’m glad you’re having a great trip! I love you! You’re are and always will be my favorite brother in the whole entire world!!! There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t miss you and wish you were here!!! Come home soon!!! Have a good and safe trip home!!! I love you to the moon and back!!! -Rachel
How are your fantastic Spanish speaking opportunities going? Can they understand you? haha Looks like you’ve had a really fun time. You aren’t missing anything at home because it has been kinda cold and rainy. PLEASE remember to NOT wear black and blue at the same time. =)))) Love you and miss you!! -Sarah
Praying for you throughout the day today. Looks like you are working really hard. Remember as you go through the day tomorrow to trust God to provide the strength that you need moment by moment. You are adequate for your days journey with Gods help! Can’t wait to see you!!
Jacob, It looks like you are having an amazing time and that God has been working in some pretty cool ways! I have loved seeing some of the pictures of you playing with the kiddos! Looking forward to hearing your stories and God sightings when you all get home. Praying for continued strength, health and safety as you head into the last half of the trip. I hope the clinics go well, and maybe you will get a taste of nursing during them as well 🙂 Praying God’s presence will continue to be felt and that his Holy Spirit will keep working, that relationships with Him and others will grow and that His love may be evident through your actions.
Jake, I absolutely love seeing you in the pictures! Almost every one of them has you with a child! ❤ You have been given so many gifts and talents. It is so fabulous watching you use them to bring Glory to God! Your acts of love, encouragement, big smile, willing hands and the joy of the Lord are making Eternal differences. That wasn't just a house you built. Those weren't just pretty pictures you painted on the walls. You and your team built a sanctuary for that family. A place of safety where God's presence is thru-out. Praying for you today as you make the switch to the med clinics. It is different but the same. 😉 There will be so many kids that you can love on and shower with attention. Playing games, soccer, coloring and painting nails will do so much to break the walls down. big hugs and many prayers covering you and the team as you go there.
Joshua 1:9
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.
Hi Jake. It is great to see the smile on your face as you work and play with the little ones. What an amazing week you are having. Praying for safety for you and that you continue to use your gifts and talents to honor and glorify God as you serve.
Thinking especially of you and your team as you travel tonight.
As you finish your week remember that the challenge before you is to concentrate on the task yet before you and the One who never leaves your side. Trust Him enough to let Him guide you through tonight as you travel and through your day tomorrow no matter what it holds.
Hi Jake!
We are really missing you over here! But at least we know that you’re having a great trip, judging by the pictures! You seem really great with the little kids! They will miss you when you come home! You seem to be busy over there! You and the rest of the Heritage team seem to be impacting many, many lives! They will not be so quick to forget what you have done for them. You have changed their lives, one good deed at a time. We will keep you in our prayers as you are working again on Sunday, and are going to travel home on Monday. We love you and miss you so much! Mom, Dad, and Sarah love and miss you, and told me to say love you! Sarah says to tell you that she’s looking forward to seeing you in two weeks, since she leaves for CHR tomorrow. We love and miss you!
Love you tons!
Rachel
Hey Jake, looks like you found a few cute kiddos to hold on to. The house building looks like a good time, wish I was there to help. You’ll need to look at pictures with us when you get home and tell us what’s going on, maybe on the big screen? I worked on your mower this week, now it runs like a Deer! No rides ’til later next week, I just mowed for you today. Have a safe trip home. See you soon, Dad
Sorry I haven’t been on much. Been pretty busy but having a lot of fun. I hope you guys have had a good week. I miss you all. I will see you soon! Also, happy fathers day!
Jake:
I am so happy God called you to go on this mission trip. It looks like from all of the postings and pictures that you are having a really great time. I pray that you have been blessed by everything and that God has blessed the work that you have done. I will pray for continued strength, stamina and health as you finish up the week and as you head home.
Jake, I hope you enjoy these next two days. Praying for safety and patience for the trip home. May you continue to see God working in, around and through you come back home.
Hope you enjoyed your last day in Guatemala!
So thankful you have been able to make great memories and have had a lasting impact on the lives of many people in Guatemala. Praying for you to have safe travels home, we are SOOO excited to see you again and anxious to have you home.
We all love you !
Hi Jake!
I hope you’ve been having a great trip! I can’t wait to see you at midnight! Sarah got to CHR safely with her huge suitcases, and another drawstring bag besides. (Are you surprised?) :}}} It’s been pretty wet again today and yesterday, so you’re not missing much! Sarah and I ran 6 miles yesterday, so I think we did pretty okay! You must be getting lots of exercise over there too, since you’ve been doing so much! We’re really looking forward to seeing you soon! We are really excited you’re finally coming home! It looks like you enjoyed being with the little kids yesterday, and you were smiling in most of the other pictures, so you must’ve been having fun! I miss you all the way to the moon and back again, and I can’t wait to sit by you, play checkers against you, (and watch you win against my ‘lovely’ checkers skills…) and give you lots of hugs when you get home! I hope you have a safe flight home, and I can’t wait to see you for the first time in an entire week! I love you!!!
Miss you and love you tons,
-Rachel

Mom says to celebrate Gods goodness and provision for a fantastic week!
