Welcome

I would love to invite you into my home to have a cup of tea with me. We could sit in my sunny kitchen and talk about all the things that are going on in our lives. I could share with you the news I hear from my grown daughters. How my grandkids are growing. We could laugh together over the funny things that they have said. It would be fun to share the ins and outs of our family life, and talk about our latest creative projects. We could share what God has been teaching us, in our personal lives, and encourage each other on this walk of faith. We could pray together, laugh together, and even cry together. Since most of us will never be able to sit down together face to face, I would like to invite you to join me here. So come on in and have a cup of tea with me.

About Me

Crossville, Tennessee, United States
I am a 61 year old, wife, married to my best friend for 40 years. We have been blessed with 6 children, & 13 grandchildren. I love mentoring women in their spritual walk & in the everyday. I have a diverse background, having spent over 30 years living and ministering in a small South American country. Now my family resides in a small town in the lovely state of Tennessee. We have experienced the blessing of adoption, but also the hard of dealing with a child with RAD and other mental health issues. You can live life with the cup half full or half empty the choice is yours. I choose half full.

We had a great week here in Manta! VBS went really well. We had over 50 kids every night. A great turnout of workers. Everyone had a great time. This morning for the closing program with had 134 in church. We had a great turn out in each of the children's classes and a few parents visiting to see their kids receive their certificate.

There were 20 at the service in Portoviejo, so that was good. 4 visitors. Please keep this work in your prayers. Pray that God would send a permanent pastor to take over.

This evening Tony had his Bible Study and then at 7:00 we had an "Annual Meeting". It went really well. It is exciting to see how the Lord has blessed this work over the last year.

We are hoping to get the construction started this week...looks like it might not start until next week. Pray for that. We need a "general contractor" and that still isn't settled. Everything else is ready to go.

We appreciate your prayers for the ministry here in Manta. God bless you as you serve Him this week!

In Christ,
Joy
