Home again...

Wendy, Jessie, Patty and I just arrived back yesterday afternoon from our journey to Nicaragua. What an awesome trip it was indeed! We stayed with a precious family who we have all adopted for our own. We finally got to meet our contact person and her family and adopted them too! We were excited to be able to minister to women from the following ministries:

Caribbean Ministries Association
Missionary Ventures
ABWE
Christian Reformed - CRWM
Food for the Hungry
Netherlands Embassy
Manna Project International
Christ for the City
Young Life
Assemblies of God
Evangelical Fellowship International
Nicaragua Christian Academy
Nehemiah Center - Nicaragua
Three Fold Ministries
Mustard Seed Missions
Evangel Fellowship International
American Nicaraguan School and Various other aid and development organizations in Nicaragua

Something that was a real “Joy” for us was to be able to actually go out and visit some of the missionary women and observe them in their areas of ministry. God is using so many people in so many different ways to accomplish His plan and purposes.

Also, for those of you who Pray, Go and Give to Pure Joy International I want to give you a testimony of how God uses your praying, going, and giving. One of the missionary women themselves gave us a card with a precious note in it and a check that will sponsor a missionary woman to attend our next Pure Joy trip overseas. That act of kindness is so precious to me. One of the desires we have as we travel is that through the ministry of Pure Joy the women will realize the need to minister to one another as well as their people groups.

We love you and I praise God for your faithfulness to Him, His servants and ministries all over the world that spread the Good News of the Gospel and live it out!!

His,
