I finally have a mission, I promise I'll complete. I don't need excuses when I am your hands and feet. ==================== Audio Adrenaline, Underdog, "Hands and Feet", 1999

Speak to Me

I'm not just posting because I love the AudioA guys and what they stand for. This song is especially heavy on my heart today:

"Speak To Me"

I'm in a fix
Need something quick
My mind is numb
My stomach sick
Broken hearts
Hopeless things
I've seen what defiance brings
Cause the light of day
I've always known
Is in my heart
I'm not alone

Speak to me
Tell me all the things I need to know
I want to hear you now
Can you speak to me
I've opened up your word to free me
I want to hear you now

It's amazing
How I forget
Can't live my life
For lack of it
But the light of day
I've always known
It's in my heart
I'm not alone

Speak to me
Tell me all the things I need to know
I want to hear you now
Can you speak to me
I've opened up your word to free me
I want to hear you now

Make your wisdom clear
The words I hold so dear
Bring the light into my dark
I hide them inside my heart


Some of you are already praying with us as we seek God's will as to the capacity in which we are to serve Him among the indigenous peoples of South America. There is a huge need in another country down here that we are praying about. Some days it is so clear to GO and others to STAY. Today is the day of decision. We just want to be obedient to whatever, wherever, and whenever. So pray with us today "Speak to me".

Ever felt wanted

No, not like in the old west or in a post office.

The following was some Peruvians attempt to attract foreigners to rent their apartment:



So, are you for rent?

King Cake in Peru


Many of you know I recently came back to the US for two weeks. It was a great time of encouraging the local church to be on mission for God. Specifically casting the vision of coming to Peru and adopting an unreached people group segment.

I got to Louisiana, knowing I would just miss Mardi Gras, which for me I could do without except this one little tradition: King Cake.

There was no way to order one before I got there and bring it back. It would be too stale, so I opted for second best. I got a box mix at the store. It was praline. Yum! Here is the result:
