Building Community
One Life One Chance is an amazing organization! Even through the short time I was able to be in Mexico this past March, helping in the kitchen around the base, I could feel that I was being included in something huge. This ministry is changing lives faster than any of us probably realize. They work […]
When It Rains
It happens so very few times, but when it rains here in San Quintin, it rains. The wind howls, the trees bend, the sky turns dark, and the streets flood. Though the ground is so thirsty for water and we know that in the long run this rain is a blessing, for many people in […]
The Flood
Last week, as our team in Mexico served families affected by flooding due to heavy rains at the beginning of January, they met Irma and her mother. Irma has been housebound since the flood, as she has limited mobility due to Spinal Bifita. She has experienced much hardship because of her special needs. One of […]
Floodgates
Sometimes God really opens the floodgates. The last half of November was one of those times, in a good way. So much was accomplished, so many new connections were made, and so much of our ministry moved forward that it’s hard to believe it all occurred in two weeks. Progress on the House of Refuge […]
Loving Is So Worth It
“I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself.” Jeremiah 31:3. There was a continual theme throughout the whole summer that I found myself constantly musing over; loving is so worth it. I had asked God to use me—to show me where I could be […]
A Big Thank You
CNN has their Heros, One Life One Chance has theirs. We would like to send a huge thank you to the team that did work on the House of Refuge last week. John Frede, Chris Les, Rawlyn Thiessen, Andrew Fralick, Tom Hildebrand and Dale Thaler went way above and beyond, working through some challenging circumstances […]
Update On Isaac
Thank you so very much for your prayers for Isaac. Although the doctors are not giving the family much hope that he will survive, we know that our God is so much bigger than this situation. The family asked us to send a huge thank you to all that have been praying. They can feel […]
Something So Holy About It All
What a couple weeks we have had! So much is happening in our ministry lives and our personal lives, and until now I finally have the chance to sit down and share about it all. God has been so good and I am so thankful. We’d like to share about a new project started here in […]
Bearing Witness – Tim Rivers
Some stories just need to be told. No logical beginning, no happy ending, nothing neat and tidy. But they need to be told. This story needs to be told. For months Stan Schulz has been telling me I need to understand the plight of special needs children in this place, my place, the San Quintin […]
Standing in the Gap
How do we say thank you? As construction moves forward on the House of Refuge at our base in Mexico, we feel a huge sense of gratitude to the hundreds of people who have come alongside this project and One Life. From the many words of encouragement, the financial support, the prayer, and the help […]
