Wait for it!
Waiting. Not something that we typically enjoy doing as normal, living, breathing human beings, right?! As a people, society, culture, or whatever, we are just people who want what we want and we want it now! We see it in Honduras, and we certainly see it in the USA as well. It knows no geographical, […]
Small actions, big results!
I’ve always been an all or nothing type of person. Growing up, I typically had the mentality, especially in sports, that if I can’t win or excel in something, why do it at all? As I have grown, I have mellowed quite a bit and learned to enjoy the journey. I feel like many people, […]
Every life is an opportunity.
Another loss, another test, another life that went unjustly. Delmer Omar, a young man full of dreams and goals who despite the circumstances always sought to strive, to study and to approach God. I want to pay homage to his life, since Delmer was a young man who despite living among relatives and friends who […]
When Celebration and Sadness Collide
As many of you know, Chris and I are welcoming a new bundle of joy into our family very soon. We are so excited, and the kids are overjoyed to have a little brother! We have had so many fun conversations about what it will be like to have a baby around for them. They […]
Contentment=live for Him today
“I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” Philippians […]

Let me start by offering a truth: I’m not a runner. In fact, my knees creak and crack so much that I have embarrassed my dear wife when I sit down in church because people around us look for the origin of the loud crunching sound. Ashley, however does not miss the chance to join […]
The book’s not finished…
A chapter is ending but the book’s not finished. It has been one week. One week since I moved back to the states from the beautiful country of Honduras. It had been something anticipated and known, but that really doesn’t make it any easier. Saying goodbye is never easy especially when those people have made […]
Not goodbye, but nos vemos!
Friends and Family, It is with great joy and sadness that I announce my time in Honduras pursuing full time ministry is coming to a close. I am beyond blessed to have been in this unique position to serve God by serving His abandoned and neglected children living in children’s homes, on the street, and in the bordos of […]
Healing Is a Process
I know we have talked so many times how when the Sparrow Academy started, we were not by any means sure of what this meant but we knew that God was preparing us to expand our mission in the kid’s spiritual and educational walks. You have heard all the good stories about the kids’ development […]
Daily Miracles
“Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.” – C.S. Lewis Most days, by the time we get the kids to bed around 8 in the evening, I am absolutely dragging. We wake up at […]
