We’ve been blessed with the fellowship of many special people over the last months. Jack and Lucy Vogt and their son Joshua spent 4 months here as they escaped the Yukon winter to minister in many ways here in Arbol de Vida. Teaching Bible & English, Construction and team hosting plus many other ministries filled their […]
When I am jolted from my sleep in the night because of a call from the kid’s room or the dog wanting out or any number of occurences in the night, my first thought is “who is all in my house tonight?” This is so I can head out of our bedroom appropiately attired (not […]
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.

We’re getting down to the finishing touches on the upper floor of the Arbol De Vida ministry center! We thank the Lord for providing for this progress through the generosity of His family.  Here is Luis Carlos, a long-time friend some of you may remember, laying tile in one of the dorm rooms.
