Church Tulum

What a great group of people God has put together here in Mexico!!!!! You know they don't look bad at all.

Why don't you come and worship with us?

We May Need More Room!

The plant man came by the house today and Renee' wanted just a few new plants....Once we get them all in pot's we will post more pictures.

We also have a family of turtles and don't forget the Bird!!!!

Planning!!!

We have started to plan our trip to Alaska and we have alot we want to do and people to see. Church in Tulum has been growing even in the off season. It seems we are starting to see more of the people that live here. The word is getting out!!!!!

Our work at Victory Outreach has given our church a place to give back and it is wonderful to see how God is working here in Tulum. There is alot more we can help with it just takes time and manpower.

There is also a mission project we have in Playa helping put up a wall and some painting.
We are looking forward to seeing the Mission Team from Alaska in a couple of days. This is a high school team from Rabbit Creek and they will be working with Pastor Doug in Paamul.

Renee' and I are getting the day to day life here in Tulum down and we are feeling more at home each day. Life is much slower here and we have found that we need to have a list each week of the things we need to get done. The list helps keeps us on track and give us some direction.
All in All God has blessed us with people around us, a nice place to call home, and a wonderful church.

Please drop us a line we love to get your emails.

WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?

Rested, Tan, and in need of a new hat!!!! Not sure about the shorts but I like the t-shirts!!!!

What do you think?

I could use some help painting the office!!!

Victory Cooking Grill

The left picture is how the cooking grill was before Lighthouse Church helped with the materials

needed to build the picture on the right. God is Good!!!! This work was completed by the men

staying at Victory. Let's us see where God is working and join in!!!!!

Work at Victory

New water tower going up at Victory Men's Center. We had two of our members deliver needed material to Victory this week to help
build a new water tower and cooking facility at the center. We are so blessed to be able to
help this wonderful mission here in Tulum.
We are putting together another project to cover the eating area so wind it rains the men have
a dry place to eat. This is going to be a on going mission and we want you to be a part. If you
have a week come down and see how God will use you to bless others.
Special thanks to Cowboy and David for taking this mission on and seeing that all the materials
where on site.

Friday is Beach Day!!!!

Well it's
friday and our day off so we took the Bivins to the beach. Wow, the kid's never got out of the water except to have lunch. After 4
hours we came back to the house and into the pool. Now that is refreshing!!!!!
The beach was warm (low 90's) and the wind was up so all the wind surfers where out. With it being low season there where not alot of people so we had our pick of chairs. It was quite a day.
Now we need a little down time and get the boxes ready for sunday. If you are looking for a little rest we would love to show you our beach!!!!! Just drop us a note and we will pick you up and show you our "Tulum"..... Love and Miss You Alll.......

Bivins are in town!!!

After a long day of travel it is nice to take a little time to relax. The Bivins family is here and

we are getting set up for church on Sunday. We took a little time to show them our city and

had lunch out.

We are looking forward to two weeks fun and mission work with this wonderful family.
Can't wait to take them to the beach Friday it will be fun but we miss Terry and Debbie.

Prayer Requests

Hola,

We have a prayer request our son Tim in Anchorage was hit in the Eye with the end of a rubber
cord. Thank God he is going to be ok but will have to miss work for a few days. Please pray that
he will recover with no side effects to his eye.

Please pray for Pastor Terry and Debbie as they travel to see family.

Please pray for Dallas and his family as they travel to Mexico.

Please pray for Renee' and I as we serve on mission that we stay in the center of God's will.

Work-Work!!!

Wow, Renee' has her list of things to get done and we are on the move. Just finished painting the
down stairs bathroom and Renee' stained the paper towel holders. Moved office for Renee'
upstairs and updated two computers. Did have a small break for lunch but we did get a lot done
today. I worked on connection cards and order of service for the next four weeks as Pastor Terry and Debbie are off to the States. We are looking forward to Dallas and Becca coming in on Wed. for some R & R and preaching while Terry is away.
Summer is here as it is 94F @ 3:51pm and it's HOT!!!!! We are trying to get any outside work done it the mornings and stay inside with the A/C on in the afternoon. It does cool off a little at
night but you still need the A/C on to sleep well. Just part of life in Mexico!!!!

Birthday Pictures

Just got these from our friends and wanted to show you all what a birthday party in Mexico is like. This was at our small group what a good time!!!! Thanks everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you like the hat?????

The Team

Wow, what a week!!! We are missing Chuck and Karla even more today. They are in Seattle and should be back in Anchorage this afternoon. We worked hard and played hard all week. Both Chuck and Karla are a blessing to us and the mission work here in Tulum.
