Travel Drama

Jim — Tue, 12 May 2026 19:39:46 +0000

Some of you may be wondering about our trip from Mexico to Canada. Yes, we did have some “drama”. We thought a direct flight would help us avoid some of the complexity that often comes with our travel, but in this case it was not so! It appears that we got on our plane without […]

Another Whirlwind Trip to Canada…

If you’ve been paying attention, you know one of the main reasons why we’re heading to Canada around this time – there’s a wedding coming! Our daughter Hannah and her fiancé Brandon are deep into preparations, and hopefully we are being of some help! We will also be visiting some churches while we’re in Canada. […]

Retro: Children’s Day

Jim — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 18:33:00 +0000

The 30th of April is Children’s Day in Mexico! It’s the 20th of November in Canada, but it tends to be a much bigger deal in Mexico. In 2016, ten years ago, we had a group from Word of Life (Palabra de Vida) in Ixtapaluca to add to the festivities. They helped us out with […]

Retro: Hannah’s XV

Ten years ago today, I had the privilege of escorting Hannah into her big celebration – her 15th birthday party! As you may know, the 15th for girls in Mexico is a big deal. Looking back, it really was a huge blessing to see so many friends and family together, many who were there to […]

How’s it going in Jesús María?

Jim — Sat, 18 Apr 2026 16:06:49 +0000

Although we’re working mostly with the church in Las Palmas now, we’ve had some recent opportunities to connect with what’s happening at the church in Jesús María. So, in answer to the question, things are going well! 🙂 We enjoyed having an old friend from Jesús María come and preach (Oscar Luna), and we really […]

Faithful Teachers

During the first few months of 2026 we have had a couple of kids coming off and on to our Sunday services. It’s one of the stages in the church when we have a lot of youth and young adults, and not a lot of kids! But I wanted to give a shout out to […]

We Are Here!

Jim — Sat, 28 Mar 2026 16:39:42 +0000

I’m a little over 3 months late, but I did want to report on an evangelistic event that we had in Las Palmas, because it was a good time. So one of our beloved Christmas traditions here in Mexico is ponche, a hot punch filled with fruits. So we set up a stove on the […]

Lots of Visits!

Jim — Sat, 21 Mar 2026 01:07:39 +0000

So, what if I started to post again, once in a while? Yes, it’s been a crazy time – not just today (which was crazy), not just the past few weeks, but the past few months. It would be nice to get back into some kind of equilibrium – but I’m not holding my breath. […]
