About Us

In April 2013, I arrived in Milwaukie, Oregon after spending 3.5 years on the mission field in Northern Baja Mexico. Soon I discovered God's purpose in bringing me to Oregon...the homeless community.

Good Day Shared by All

There's a wonderful group down here serving for a few days. They've come with eyes to see needs and laborers and money to meet the needs. They are very other focused. They realize that when we are blessed it is so God can use us to bless others.

Yesterday, I made my first run to Rosarito as the driver. I went with a few young people that new how to get there and back. I was asked to buy food for the orphanage. I was given a list of things to buy and the money to purchase it with. What I didn't realize was some of the items that I was purchasing was due to the orphanage being completely out. Beans, sugar and a few items needed to be purchased right away. Yet, I sensed no panic when asked to make the trip

The group that's staying here right now, happened to call yesterday to find out what we might need. When they arrived today, they brought an abundance of things we needed. They brought it to meet our needs and not to make them look good or feel good. It was clear they were sent by the Lord once again showing His faithfulness to provide.

It's been a good day. I've seen my boys serving and getting involved with the groups that are down here. I am amazed at God's goodness at surrounding my boys with men who are full of the love of God and the word of God.

My Spanish is getting better. The boys are loving their Spanish class that they just started in school. Hopefully we'll keep improving until we're all fluent.

The one funny thing that did happen today was that David was mistaken for an orphane by one the guys of the group that's visiting. They asked him a question and he pretended not to understand English. It was hilarious to see.
