Our Arrival to Texas The energy, excitement, and anticipation of another opportunity to serve in POWER Ministry is here. The day has arrived to let go of the cares of a crazy work week, put out some last minute “fires” at work and/or at home, and focus on being...

Our last day in Mexico. Our cook crew started it off on a good note with a breakfast of eggs and french toast in cafeteria at Faith Missions. After singing praise songs, Doug H. shared the story of Jesus washing the disciple’s feet. He says in John 13:10 that they are...

We got to sleep a little later this morning, and I didn’t hear ay snoring symphonies last night! The sleeping arrangement here at Faith Missions is about 15-25 guys each in a couple of large rooms with bunk beds. With the smaller group this year, nobody had to climb...

We left the hotel in McAllen a little earlier today, as we were headed to Sende De Vida, the ‘homeless’ shelter on the Mexican side of the river, for morning devotions. Our food crew greatly improved the menu at the hotel this morning, with Jimmy Dean sausages, apples...

The alarm went off at 6 am this morning. I hadn’t slept real good. I also realized that I had not packed a couple of things. Fortunately Justin let me use his toothpaste. And I didn’t need my nail bag, at least not today. The Lord provides what we need. After a skimpy...

9 am- Strap yourself in men! POWER is on the move again. Men from all over the USA are en route to San Antonio, Texas after missing last year (or was it the last two years, it seems like forever). Flying the blue skies over America puts me in a reflective mood. I...

Worshiping together with the other 63 or so men in the dining area at Faith Mission was particularly awesome. There was nothing fancy about our worship team, although they are great! It was just Cody on the Guitar and Doug leading vocally, but every time they were...

Staying at Faith Mission in Del Rio is an experience in itself. We have two sleeping porches filled with bunk beds for the 60 plus men to share for the night. Normally I would have a hard time sleeping in these accommodations, but with the long days and short nights...

Today we started our day with breakfast at the hotel in McAllen. I will say one of the great things about this hotel is they serve really good coffee. I believe we left as Marty directed us at 7:00am… PRETTY-sharp for Hidalgo and Border Mission where we had...
