This was a very special weekend at Arbol de Vida! Many of you have heard of and some of you have met Cesar and Marcela Rodriguez. They are the couple that came to know the Lord after the tragic lost of their 18 month old daughter last June. They have been growing in their walk […]
We have been getting the question “is it safe there?” often lately as the news media report of the drug war here in Mexico. I read an article refered to by a missionary friend who lives in Mexico City that gives a few statistics on the situation here. Basically, if you are not a drug […]
Our kids have been full-time in Colegio Emaús a Christian School here in Hermosillo and doing great. We are so glad they are doing well. Here are some of their school photos. Caleb is in grade one and doing great! He enjoys reading in Spanish more than in English because at least Spanish has rules that […]
Today Annelise and I sat at the kitchen table talking about her friend, Fernando, a little boy from her class. As a family we have prayed several times for Fernando, we helped Annelise colour a large letter on a piece of poster board so that Fernando could read “we miss you Fernando”  from a helicopter, […]
Yesterday we enjoyed the afternoon at Mario and Sandra’s place about 20 minutes north-east of Hermosillo. We did carne asada (Mexican Bar-B-Que -Tacos), yum(!), played some soccer, sang songs and just had a great time in general. It’s the kind of thing you wish you could do every Sunday because you get to know people […]

Here are a couple of photos of life in Arbol de Vida. Here we are Sunday morning! Our Wednesday afternoon ladies (except the teacher) Bible Study. We normally have about 8 ladies. We are currently going through the book of James.
Bergen, Alberta has always had a special place in our hearts. The folks of the Bergen Evangelical Missionary Church do too! Greg remembers going to school when the Koinonia Christian School system got started in the 70’s and we have many more memories from “Beautiful Downtown Bergen.”  Here is the group on the mountain overlooking Hermosillo!  Stuart Swanson, […]
This was the sixth “Design on a Dime” that we have had the privilege of doing. The basic philosophy behind this ministry is blessing someone with a partial home makeover that wouldn’t be able to do it themselves due to other needs. Shelli loves the opportunity to sit down with the person/family and plan out […]
Here are the ladies that come to learn English in Arbol De Vida every Tuesday with Lucy Vogt (left) & Linda Toth (right). I think they laugh more than learn! Ha! Greg
