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.

No Regrets

Today marks the end of our 2nd week here at Door of Faith. Our Spanish is coming. David is learning important things like how to say "Sponge Bob Square Pants" is Spanish. He's very popular with the kids and the little ones love to hitch a ride on his back or play soccer with him. Tyler's newest phrase is "No mas por favor". He does better one on one with different kids. Sometimes he enjoys playing cars or today it was marbles.

I walked through my 2nd tour today with DJ. He's showing me how to give a tour when groups come down for a visit. I've been asked a few times about how we like being here as a family. I tell them that we're enjoying it very much. My hope is that others will see what were doing and see that it's not impossible. If God asks you to do something He will always make a way. We just have to be willing.

This evening we attended our 2nd quincenera. It was held down the road at a place called Eve's Garden. It's a beautiful place with gardens, gazebos, ponds, and tropical plants. On the propery there's about 6 to 8 houses for rent. Neat place for kids to explore.

After we arrived home, my new amigo Leonardo came and hugged me and said "Buenas noches. Hasta manana." As he started to leave he ran back, gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek and said again "Hasta manana." That moment made me feel great. If I can touch the heart of these kids down here, then I have had success. What a great way for me to end a day. No regrets.
