We arrived safely home from our 2 week mission trip to Zimbabwe 2 days ago. We had a great trip. God’s provision and grace were evident in the midst of a much harder living situation. VBS was a hit, topping out at 900 + kids on the last day. The team was amazing and so were our hosts. Over all, even though the trip was challenging in new ways, we had an awesome time and are praising and thanking God for all He has done and will do.

Hopefully we’ll be posting more stories and videos in the next few weeks as we recover physically and get back in the grove. Thanks to everyone who prayed for us. We know that God honored your prayers and then some.

Here are some of our 1000 pics. Enjoy

This year during our church’s VBS the kids raised money for our mission trip to Zimbabwe to help us put on a VBS there. The goal was $1000. God is amazing though and able to do more than we ever ask for. The kids raised over $2000 in just 5 days! We were floored. Since they were able to meet the goal several people got pies in the face – including Jason. Below is a clip of the pie fun. Jason is seriously becoming a pie in the face professional. This is his 2nd year. Let me know and I’d be happy to hire him out for less than $2000 Again we just praise God for his provision and for the kids.
