Mexico 2009 Video

It's hard to believe that we returned from Mexico less than one month ago! Well, on Sunday the 3rd at PRBC we played a short video documenting our trip. Here it is! On Sunday May 31st after church we will also be having an "extended" presentation about the mission to Mexico. Please come join us in learning about our trip and how God is using us in the lives of others - like those in Mexico! Thanks again so much for being involved in service to Him. :)


May we truly be light to the world.

What a beautiful Spring day our Creator has made! :)

Sorry this calendar is so late in coming... we had some last minute changes. The Pinnacles trip that we all have been looking forward to had been put off until the 23rd, the morning after the Barn Dance! So, guess what? - That means ya'll should come dance the night away then camp out in the Lemm house and come hiking in the Pinnacles with us! It would be so much fun! Seriously, bring a sleeping bag and overnight things and there will be plenty of room for anyone who wants to stay. We also have the Mexico Presentation coming up - soon after church on Sunday May 31st at PRBC!

There are lots of things coming up for everyone with the end of school approaching, weddings to attend, and lives to live in glory to Him! Keep up to date on things we may be planning...

May Jesus Christ be absolutely everything to you!

Pinnacles Postponed!

Keep praising and serving our Savior!

Serving Christ in Mexico!

Yes, we made it home - very safely, I might add :) On Saturday, April 11th, 17 of us (3 high schoolers, 11 young adults, and 3 "young-at-heart" adults) headed down to Mexico to build a house in the name of Jesus Christ...

Gabriel, Guadelupe and infant Anjé were our chosen family. Gabriel and Guadelupe are a young, poor couple living off of about $80 a week (when work is available). Gabriel works full time as a laborer and Guadelupe stays home with Anjé for the time being. Our camp was located less than 10 minutes away from the work site, with luxurious pit toilets and open-air bucket showers :) God provided so much for us! We had a wonderful, level site that was easily accessable, all of our building materials were in great shape, and we had a hard-working team. The first day consisted of pouring the foundation and framing the walls. The second day we raised the walls, prepared them for stucco, and completed the roof. On the third and fourth days we put stucco on our house as well as another house that had been sitting unfinished for a year. Throughout building, Guadelupe and Anjé helped and played and watched. We were able to spend a lot of time with both mother and son as we worked. The trip was really wonderful! Not only did God provide and lead everything so beautifully, He used us to be examples of our Lord and Savior to the world outside of our own backyard!

There are so many more details of our trip that we plan on sharing later, along with a short video, which I will post as soon as it's completed :) Thank you all so much for your prayers and support for your missionaries to Mexico - God used us and you! Please keep praying for the young family we built a house for: saving faith if it's not there already, and strength in Christ. May He be lifted up!

Message Recordings

Hello everyone! I just wanted to let you know that the IMPACT message recordings (in the blue bordered box near the top of the blog) have been updated. They are in order of date [year-month-day]. To make it easier to find specific messages, the date is followed by a brief title along with the passage that we discussed. I hope this is helpful! Please feel free to listen to and/or download messages whether you attend IMPACT or not. It's easy to do directly from the blog and it's a great way to keep thinking on His Word - maybe during some down time at work or school, or while you're in the car. And we would love to have more people (regardless of age) listening to what we're learning here on Thursday nights. So anyone who is interested, please check out some of the messages we have recorded. If you have any questions, let me know. I pray that God uses this blog to draw you closer to Him and to keep us closer as a church family! May Jesus Christ be praised always!

April

Hey all! So here we have the April calendar :)


As you can see, we haven't planned too many events this month - mostly because some of us will be ministering and building a house in Mexico for a needy family! It's taking a lot of time and effort so that's pretty much all that we're "officially" doing in April. However, coming up next month we will be going to the Pinnacles (right now the plan is May 2nd), and possibly doing some other fun activities like going hiking or shooting, bonfire, barn dance, and some things like that! :) Please note that we will still be having IMPACT during the Mexico week, and please come fellowship with us! May God be praised in every step and every breath you take.
