Dominican Republic Missions Trip

I am unbelievably excited to be heading to the Dominican Republic in August. Hopefully you all already got the letter about the missions trip. There are many teams from Austin Stone Community Church heading out this summer, about 12 trips and 150 people! I am blessed to be heading out with folks I work with behind the scenes at the Stone in the Audio Visual Lights and Camera crew. We are heading out to assist with the ongoing efforts of Makarios there in the DR. (Read more about Makarios HERE.)

The total cost for the week long trip is $1500. The first $750 is due by this Friday, the 18th. I need tons of support financially, but most of all...I need your prayers. Prayers for me to stay focused on my own personal prayer and study time, prayer for all the teams heading out this summer and prayer for all the paths we will cross. Praying the God will work wonders through us all and lift His people in the DR up.

If you did not receive a letter from me, don't fret! You can read/print it out right HERE. Please pray about it and if you can, send in the support card right away. We got our first pre-training meeting this Friday night. Will keep you all updated on preparation.

Photo Album Update


Sorry it took so long. Busy, busy past couple months. Got a photo album back log...4 albums to share. Been a while since we posted some JAG pics. So here goes...
  • Bluebonnet Photos at Walnut Creek Park: These were taking back in April. I didn't notice while I took the pics, but I learned I need to use the flash when the sun is directly overhead to try and get read of the shadows on people's faces. Wish the pics of Holly and the boys were better.
  • JAG April Pics: Pics of JAG life in the month of April. Starts with pics of a nest and bird eggs in our backyard. Towards then are pics of the baby birds in the nest! You also get pics of the boys. There is a funny string of pics of Jeremy, he can't keep his eyes open cause he knows the flash is coming. Pics of our backyard during a heavy downpour, the boys playing out front with bubbles and playing out back in the pool.
  • Pond Pics w/Tio Zaiah: Isaiah was hear visiting back in the beginning of May. We took a bike ride to a nearby pond for pics.
  • Mother's Day Pics: Not sure how in the world this happened...but didn't get ANY pics of mama! It won't happen again, I promise. These are just pics of the boys playing out back...it was on Mother's Day though :)
I will be back very soon for an update about my upcoming mission trip!
