Individual Partnerships

During our travels, we often make it a point to stop in and visit with individual supporters.

It is important to us
not only to develop our partner relationship with supporting churches, but with our individual supporters. On the way back to MN from Madison, WI, we stopped and visited a family who has been supporting us for several years now.

The several hours we spent with this family was a great break from the bumps on the highway. A great chance for the kids to play outside, and the adults to talk. Friendships run deep and we are getting closer to the day when we will leave for Chile and will not have a chance to see these friends for many years. With each opportunity to visit, this reality is hitting closer to home. Leaving home, family, friends, and our local church will be one of the hardest things we will ever face.


During our recent time in WI, we were able to have an evening cookout with the McLain family. The kids enjoyed "steaming" their own hot dogs and marshmallows.



Jordan especially enjoys time out of the van. He is a lot like his dad, in that he can't sit still for too long. He spent most of the time bonding with the new kittens by the shed.

A very big thank you to the 21 families (or individuals) who faithfully pray and support our ministry. These individuals are a vital part of our team! Our commitment to communication in this partnership is taken seriously and we desire to know how we could improve.

For more information on how you or your family can partner with us in the ministry in Chile, please contact me through email (go to my profile link on this blog) or contact our mission board (Gospel Mission of South America)
