And the mission work continues—just with fewer pictures. Mom was always the picture taker / blog writer, but we wanted to make sure we stopped for a moment and shared with you what has been happening on the mission field this past year.
Dad has had a busy and blessed year serving in Mexico in 2025. He served on the vision/leadership team for a new Spanish/English church in Los Cabos, helping Pastor Luis get the new services underway.
He worked with several work/ministry teams that visited the area—including with Shane and Tracey Crowley from Fremont, MI. Shane, a cement contractor, and his wife, Tracey, have consistently journeyed to Los Cabos year after year. Shane can lay bricks and cement like no other! Dad and Pastor Carlos work to line up projects and Shane volunteers his skills and leadership to complete the work. The work he, Tracey, and other guests complete, is invaluable!
When it comes to projects, Marta’s Kitchen, has been one project dad has been diligently working on. The pastor and his family lived in the kitchen/church, although room and basic facilities were very limited. With the help of Shane and others, dad was able to acquire additional land and add much needed rooms and a bathroom to the facility.
Dad was also able to serve Casa de Vida, a rehabilitation center. New Life Outreach purchased large, kitchen appliances—a commercial stove and grill—for the center. Signage was also purchased.
Dad further put his building skills to use building pergolas at a local orphanage. The pergola’s served to provide needed shade and were built just in time for the orphanage’s annual fundraising event. Dad delighted in serving alongside this ministry.
New Life Outreach also came alongside Adrianna and her brother, Diego, helping to provide a business start-up loan for their business, Cabo Design. The company specializes in large, custom neon signs. Diego is the creative talent, while Adrianna runs the business end of the upstart.
Dad also continued to lead Kingdom Builders, Los Cabos. The Kingdom Builders’ vision is to gather Chrisitan businessmen in the community to learn, disciple, and to impact the community around them, using the resources God has provided to positively transform their geographic area. There are several Kingdom Builders locations, with dad having led the Los Cabos group for the past several years.
Finally, dad wrapped up 2025 by purchasing a new lot—what he has dubbed ‘Casa de Oracion’ (the House of Prayer). The property served as a local feeding station—Linda’s Little Kitchen—for several decades. With Linda now in her 80s, though, she was looking to sell the lot and dad was excited to purchase the facility. While the lot will serve as his primary residence and his base of operations, dad also hopes to use the space as a mission station, to host monthly praise and worship services. Right now, he is moving and renovating outdated facilities, but he hopes to be able to use the space for further ministry in the near future.
Dad is continually praying and seeking God’s direction. If you have a word for dad or would like to send a word of encouragement, please feel free to reach out at any time!
We look forward to all God will accomplish in 2026 and all He has done in 2025!
