The note below is from our friend and fellow missionary, Wayne Smith, one of our primary sources of news about Danny. Wayne and his wife Becky are on the staff of the Instituto Misionero in Colombia. (Side note: When Becky was still single and making her first trip to the field, our young family was also flying to Bogotá […]

This is a photo of Danny & Jhon Barrios in younger days. The update below is the most recent info we have, as of Wednesday night. The paragraphs in italics were translated by another missionary from a report by Danny’s brother, who we have now learned is actually a doctor (my bad for the earlier misunderstanding).“Her […]

Would you join with us in praying for one of our Colombian missionaries? The Barrios family pictured above serves the Lord among the Tikuna people in the Amazon jungle on the southernmost point of Colombia (where Colombia, Peru and Brazil come together). Danelvis Barrios is seriously ill (her friends call her “Dani,” like “Danny”). She had a […]

Exciting news! This past week I was approached with a great ministry opportunity! A teammate and I were asked to interpret for a Leadership Forum of our Global Partners in the Latin American Region meeting in Bolivia the third week of July.

The New Face of Field Conference When I was a missionary kid, our annual field conference was one of the highlights of the year. It was the one time in the year that all the missionaries of our mission agency on our field got together in one place and hung out for a week. It […]

Supporting missions with coffee? We just got an email saying we’ll be receiving a gift of $4.12 because a friend in Oregon bought a couple of 12 oz bags of coffee from Twin Valley Coffeeand assigned the donation share to us! That was a first.  The truth is, we were informed a couple of months ago about […]

Brain Exercise They say that if you want your brain to stay young, you need to keep challenging it. At this rate, mine is either going to get into great shape or overheat from the strain. Somehow, I’ve gotten into a situation where I’m learning three different kinds of website platforms at once, and in […]

Hope you had a great summer! We sure did! Our loving Heavenly Father blessed us with three weeks with Esther and Curtis and the grandkids in Nova Scotia. We had a lot of fun together — soccer games and practices, a couple of trips to the shore, celebrating Esther’s birthday and mine (Steve’s) and witnessing […]
