October 2019: Ministry Update
It has been pretty crazy around here…which isn’t unusual right before Jeff leaves on a mission, but a kidney stone wasn’t how we wanted to start the week. None the less, it’s how it started and not even a kidney stone can stop Jeff from his assignment. We’ve learned that if you just keep pressing […]
September 2019: The Church in Action
A few weeks ago, Sanjeep, our partner and friend in Nepal, called with a request. He told us that he was traveling to a remote village in Nepal that was unreached with the Gospel. He wanted to start working there and, noticing that the village people were very poor, he wanted to buy rice, lentils, […]
September 2019: Ministry Update
Developing small businesses for pastors in Nepal and Cuba is one of the key elements of what we do at TREC. It is very easy to develop relationships with international pastors and provide them financial support on an ongoing basis, but in doing this we create what you’d describe as “Christian Welfare.” These pastors and […]
August 2019: What’s Your Why?
I love the word purpose. Websters defines it as “something set up as an object or end to be attained.” To me, nothing defines our purpose more than Matthew 28:18-20: “And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of […]
July 2019: Fishers of Men
There is so much that I love about the picture above that Jeff took of these guys fishing on the Malecón in Havana, Cuba. I love the silhouette of the fishermen; the dark against the light. I love the lighthouse in the background, and El Malecón itself, a bulwark, which is five miles of seawall […]
June 2019: Cuba in the News
If you’re following along in the news, and believe me I totally understand if you’re not, you know that President Trump has placed tighter travel restrictions on Cuba. This is in an effort to stop Cuba’s communist government from helping Venezuela’s communist government. As soon as the news broke about these restrictions, we began getting […]
May 2019: Testimonies from Cuba
In April, Jeff took a team from Camden, AL to Cuba for our first ever marriage conference. Five married couples went to share with other married couples what a Godly marriage looks like. They shared Truth with grace and love to hurting people. Sharing life experiences and how God was able to heal and mend […]
April 2019: God Stories
It was amazing to hear the God stories from each member of the team and to see the Lord making those stories happen before our eyes. One such story happened while I was out sharing my story in the neighborhood. Jeff, Gail, and our translator, Albert, and I had the opportunity to be on a […]
March 2019: God Stories
On December 26 a group of men went with Jeff to Nepal. Our mission is always the Gospel, and this trip we also added water filters into the mix. Sawyer International is partnering with us to get water filters into the hard to reach places. It was an incredible honor for these guys to bring […]
February 2019: From the Heart
Trudy usually writes the newsletters, but this month I have something on my heart to share. Many often ask what it is we do, to which I usually respond that my wife and I do mission work in Nepal and Cuba. This confuses people. How can one organization do work in two countries that are […]
