The Mexico mission trips were always a blessing, and an adventure. We were always careful to send mission trip information to the churches prior to all trips. And part of that information was the dress code, which unfortunately, was a mine field (I will write about that at a later date). The rule regarding hair …
Gina In El Paso
I witnessed many unbelievable answers to prayer in my years with Bearing Precious Seed El Paso. Most of the young people who came on those mission trips came because they wanted to help and learn about missions. And I said “most” because not every kid (or parent) came for the right reasons.

The Oldsmobile Trofeo

The Truck

What’s The Point?
Laguna Beach Retreat This story warms my heart because here is where God introduced us to a special place called Laguna Beach Christian Retreat, that was such a blessing several times to us. When our kids were in college in Pensacola, Florida, this missionary on deputation (in the winter) tried to stay south of the …
