"For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being ROOTED and grounded in LOVE, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the LOVE of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen."
August has truly been an AMAZING month as our home church joined us again here in southern Peru. In addition, our family was so blessed to have our friends from Western Avenue Baptist Church, also from our home town, partner along side Beulah Baptist Church during their two week mission trip here in the small village of Curahuasi. The united team worked countless hours on the construction of the new Rooted In Grace & Love mission home, helped us teach the Bible to students in local village schools, served & loved on many children during weekly VBS ministries, and helped provide much needed food to families in need. Most importantly, this team helped us share the LOVE of JESUS CHRIST to many hurting people and daily encouraged our family through prayer to continue this faith journey of discipling and sharing the GOOD NEWS to many in need of a Savior.
THANK YOU SO MUCH

Jesus, Founder and Perfecter of Our Faith
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God."

But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.
