Financial Supporters
Due to the fact that we are no longer working in Belize, we would like to let all of you who have been supporting us financially that if you wish to continue your gifts during this time of transition, we have to ask that you send your donations to P.O. Box 95 mansfield, AR 72944
Since we are not attached with a mission right now we regret that we will not be able to have your gifts sent through the FBC Greenwood or to be a tax deduction. All the money we receive during this time will be put in an account until we start our next mission. We would like to thank all of you who support us, without the gifts from all of you we would not be able to continue to do the work God has called us to.

Dear Friends, Family & Prayer Warriors...Sunday evening we received some news that the door to our service in Belize has been closed and we are not going to be continuing to serve God as missionaries there with Gaither Ministries. However, that does not mean that our service to God is done...we are asking for prayer in this difficult time that we will continually be seeking what God would have us do next...I’m sure you are asking yourself why or what happened and the best answer we can give you is...weather by man or by God our time in Belize though only 2 1/2 months is coming to an end...and we don’t really know why it has come to this point...But we do know that we were obedient in doing what God pressed upon our hearts to do and we don’t regret the lessons learned or lesson to come that we will be learning by this unfortunate turn of events. We do believe that those of you who were in support of us financially did not waste a dime of your money in helping to support us while we were there...we were able to bless several families while we were in Belize, some may have been blessed physically but others were blessed spiritually. Weather those families be Belizean or American many people I feel were blessed
by our obedience to follow the Lord. We will be going back to Belize myself and Jason to recover some of our belongings and to tie up any lose ends we may have there. I pray that this turn of events does not leave anyone feeling bitter towards missions, please continue to support and give as the Lord directs you to.
I would just like to express my deepest gratitude and love for all you have done for us over this past year and all that you continue to do by way of praying for us and supporting us in what God has in store for us next. God has blessed us tremendously with the people he has placed in our lives, every single one of you has had an impact on our lives for the better. We love and thank all of you!!!!!!
Please continue to be in prayer for Gaither Ministries that God would continue to bless their ministry and continue to pray for our family as we try to see what wonderful opportunities God has in store for us next.
" For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)
With much love,

Unexpected Visit
As many of you already know, our family had to make an emergency trip back to Arkansas last weekend. Kristen was not feeling well and the doctor in Belize said it could have been a problem with her appendix, so we flew back on Friday night and they removed her appendix first thing Saturday morning. We can't even begin to tell you how amazing everyone has been to us since we returned, we are able to see the love of God through all of the people who have gone out of their way to help us, God has truly blessed us thriugh our friends and family. We will be staying in Greenwood for a few weeks as Kristen recovers.

These are some pictures of a church in Southern Belize. It rained almost the whole time the roof was being put on but we were able to get the task completed. In one of the pictures you will notice a log that has been laid across a ditch, this is what we had to cross to get supplies to the church. We also had to use a gas powered generator to have electricity. Currently this body of believers is meeting in a house till the completion of the church. Praise God that the house church has outgrown the house and is in need of a bigger place to worship and learn.

Blessed?
“Do not store up for your selves treasures on earth.”
These are a few words of which Jesus has spoken, and I haven’t be able to get them out of my mind. DO NOT store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for your selves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also".
For the last few weeks I have got to spend more time among the people, and a normal house has but a light bulb, they drink rain water,
shower outside, and even to them it is hot down here. As I view to see what I can do to help, a fan will cause the electric bill to go up. Most people don’t have refrigerators. Most people ride bikes or catch the bus. Even some of these people are Christian people, very loving people. I listen to their needs; they need just the simple things in life, the things I take for granite. As I find myself only being able to offer the love of Christ, and looking forward to what God has await for us in heaven. The average household income in the world is 7,000 dollars. If your household income is more than 32,000 I think you are like at the top 5 to 8% in the world.
Am I just a spoiled rotten American, (lol whatever the case is,) or am I just blessed. Blessed? I remember living paycheck to paycheck just to have the American Dream. Is being in debt being blessed? Is that really what God wants? And then he says, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” So it’s not about being blessed or not, it’s about where is your heart.
