Please pray for my Dad.
Things are getting back to normal whatever that is here.
We are continuing to build our new house it is small but they are doing everything by hand so it is moving a little slower than we had hoped. They are putting the windows in the house today.
Please pray for us and the church services tomorrow. We are moving into the holiday season so we should be having more and more visitors. Pray that God will renew the folks on the English side and continue the movement in the Spanish group.

The Thanksgiving Dinner at the church in Paamul
Thursday, November 22, 2007
It's a Thanksgiving Day Miracle!
I know we use the term “miracle” a lot these days, but when you see so many people praying and then you see God’s hand at work in a way that even surprises the doctors.
All you can say to the skeptics is “I was blind but now I see”
The first Thanksgiving was a celebration of survival. It’s not about turkey or football although those things are good. This year we feel like the folks must have felt in 1621 on that Plymouth Plantation. By the grace of God we are here and we are thankful to God and to you.
I hope you can see the HAND of GOD in this healing…. And maybe God can use this experience of Darla in some way to help you celebrate this Thanksgiving Day.
Special thanks to all those who help us get out pray request out:
Please keep praying for our health and our work in Playa Del Carmen

If you are in the area please come eat with us, it a potluck. We are also collecting can goods to feed the needy.
The house is still going up without me there to oversee so pray they don't make to many mistakes.

Darla's latest MRI
From the hospital in Cancun
Monday, November 19, 2007
Darla is still in a lot of Pain but she is now out of the ICU
Many are asking how can they help. We always need more financial support for the work down here but now the truth is unless God does something special I don't know how we are going to make it through this financially. We do have insurance and it will pay a lot of the cost but our bill so far is over $11,000 US . We have to pay up front so we my have a cash flow problem soon. We are trusting God and we are not to proud to boldly ask you to help. We believe in what we are doing down here and we need your help but we also want you to share in the blessing of being a part of changing lives.
If you feel God leading you to help you can send checks to:
Global Community Fellowship
1904 Red Bud Cir.
Greenville NC 27858
Please ask your church to pray about supporting the work down here of a monthly bases. We believe Darla is going to be back on her feet soon and there is a lot of work to do here if you are not already a supporter please pray about what God would have you do.
update on Darla
Please keep praying.

Rediscovering what really matters
In times like these I am relearning that it is all about relationships. The most important things aren't things. Last week I thought the color of our bathroom tile for our new house was an important matter. God has a way of getting us back on focus.
I have been overwhelmed today by the outpouring of love and support. My wife Darla is truly a peace maker. I guess I expected our church friends to express their love and support and they sure did in a big way but what I was not ready for was the large number of non church people that Darla has loved and influenced. Today this older lady came up to me on the street and she started hugging me and telling me how much she loved my wife. I guess she was a strong catholic because she started doing the sign of the cross and telling me she was praying her fiend Darla. If that was not enough the boss of our street guards told his men as he began to cry ,"I am not a Christain but I want you to pray for Darla, they are doing good things here "
Then I went to eat tonight at Fridays in Cancun. We have had the same waiter there for ten years. The waiter told me how much to cared about Darla and or family..... He is pictured here... He is not a believer yet but our family has influenced his life.
Darla is in ICU and they only let me visit 4 times a day each visit can be 15 minutes .
The visiting times are 8am, 11am ,4pm and 7pm . Today I was there at 8am and I talked to the doctor he said that every thing is going as he expected. Darla is still in some pain but the doctor said that is expected.
I worshiped with the English Church in Cancun this morning . Marco did a great job and the music is great. Today they are changing the name of the church . As they join the Community of Faith church in Houston.
I went back to hospital for the 11am visit.
After that I drove back south to Paamul and I baptized three new believers. It was a great day in Paamul we has about 65 people in our Spanish service and the English service was a full house.
After that I drove back to hopital in Cancun for my 4 pm visit
I waited around for the 7pm visit.... She was more upbeat but there is still some pain.
Full day...
Thanks so much for your prayers
We are still going forward.

Catch the wave!
To push this surfing analogy a little further. When I see the "perfect wave" I was the one that would always yell at my buddy ,"this is your wave, take it!". Recently a friend of mine told me if God has given you a vision , Go FOR IT! Quit trying to pass your vision off on someone else.
I see a great wave building in the Mayan Rivera of Mexico and God has given me a vision..... Please pray that I will have the faith that will over come all fear and that I will Catch God's Wave.
