This will be my 6th Mission Trip, but the first with Amazing Grace. The previous trips were all construction related - four to Group Workcamp sites with our Church youth group and one to Honduras to build homes for an orphanage. Following each experience, I came away with the feeling that I had gained more and had been blessed more than the families we were assisting. In each instance, it was obvious that God's Spirit was present and working in the lives of the residents and the volunteers. I am eagerly looking forward to this trip to meet the residents, see God's presence work His wonders, and, possibly, lose a few pounds in the process. I believe my experience in working with residents, both in the U.S. and abroad, will be an asset to the team. I also have a fair amount of construction experience for an amateur.

Who's running the website? Yikes!!! Hope you have access to a computer. No, really, life will certainly go on as you are serving our Lord in a much different way by reaching out with a team of, maybe 100?, many to quickly build this house in Guatemala. What a gift you are, wherever you are, as God has given you so very many talents. Keeping you and Sandy in prayer during this trip.
Hi Bob,
I am honored to be your prayer partner for this trip. May the Lord bless your efforts and keep you in His care.
You truly have been blessed Bob and your faithfulness in using the talents and gifts to bless others brings such joy to God as well as to the people who know you. We continue to pray for the entire team and look forward to your return to FL to be able to hear of your personal story of your experience. May God continue to bless you and Sandy. May the Lord bless and keep you safe.
