Hurricane Dolly-Mission Discovery Homes

Attempts to make contact with Pastor Valente and Grace Sobrevilla, Mission Discovery staff on the ground in Reynosa, Mexico have not yielded any new information from the area where team's worked this summer. I will continue to call Valente into the night to get a first-hand report of what is happening. Please pray for those that you served as the heavest rains of Hurricane Dolly are presently over Reynosa. (Pictured L to R Grace Sobrevilla, Valente Sobrevilla, Maury Buchanan, Pastor Francisco)

When "In the Pits" is a Good Thing!

Oh by the way....during a brief weekend back at home in Nashville, Jeff and Evette White invited me into the pits at Nashville Speedway for a NASCAR 200 + mile race. Jeff is an engineer for Baker/Curb Racing. Not a good night for the team though. A wreck (what every fan loves and owner dreads) happened about half way into the race.

Mission Discovery and Hurricane Dolly Plus-Opening Day Slide-Show

Currently Dolly is dumping rain on the area. We will check with Valente Sobrevilla about how the storm is affecting our new friends later.

Well, I'm on a plane...

Well, I'm on a plane in Houston Texas headed for Nashville, Tennessee and everyone has left the Rio Grand Valley. Just a great summer, a great final week. God Bless you interns and God bless all of the participants. listen

It all boils Down to This

So at the end of a week of a Mission Discovery project it is impossible to capture what really happened, but here is the house an family! Just one of 67 completed here in Reynosa, Mexico this summer with Mission Discovery!

Larger Than Life

He has served here for 19 years and continues to be Mission Discovery's go-to man for accounting! He is James Evans from Navasota, Texas and each year since 1989 has been either on a project or leading a project for his church (First Presbyterian Church, Navasota) or Mission Discovery. Captured here with goods....a delicious piece of fresh bread from our favorite Reynosa bakery, Pan de Vida! Thanks James!

Oh and by the way here is a picture of the 2008 Reynosa, Mexico Mission Discovery Interns! Great work!

Final Week's of the Summer

We were grateful to God that we were able to complete our work here in the Rio Grande Valley before a potential category 1 hurricane moved on shore near Padre Island. Even and hurricane of that magnitude has huge impact on the progress of our house building projects. Dirt streets become impassable in the areas we work. Yesterday we completed our Reynosa Intern debriefing. What a great group of young servants led by Courtney Burnette! God bless you guys as you head back to jobs and school! Thumbs up Sparky!

Another Great Summer

It's about 10 o'clock pm on Saturday night here in LaFeria, Texas. It is here that Mission Discovery hosts 7 weeks of camps of middle school and senior high students who build homes for the needy in Reynosa, Mexico. The last of 1100 of those young servants just left for home this afternoon! This summer teams build 67 homes in Reynosa and lead Children's Bible School each days as well. It only a small staff left here now to clean up and debrief. God is good.
