We are honored by your faithfulness to partner with us in prayer for the things that we see happening in the world and for the ministry that we partner in with you. Thank you for laboring with us! · Pray for our fall schedule. Four of the six adults on our team have been gone all summer and it is now time to get back in to our routines in Spain, back to ministry in La Mesa Turquesa, and back to some normalcy. Pray for our teammates who stayed in Spain all summer holding down the fort… may they be blessed with rest and a time of renewal as our team reunites. · Pray for us as we have some changes in roles and responsibilities starting in September. Time to find new rhythms and new ways to do our work. Pray for us to find ways to have healthy rhythms of family and work, as well as physical and spiritual renewal and well-being. · Pray for Sarah as she begins a new season in her schooling. She now enters in to a two year university prep phase, which requires a more strenuous study schedule. She is also gearing up in her equestrian training and competition, which will require more time working with her mount and her trainer. · Praises for all the wonderful people who hosted us over these last two months! They opened their homes and gave us beds to sleep in, they put food on the table, and they shared life and fun times with us. Thank you for your hospitality!!! We appreciate the gift of “home” more than you could ever know! Irene, Margaret and Ray, Kristin and Jeff, Midge and Betty, Ernie and Marilyn, Donna and Michael, Jim and Ginny, Ron and Amanda, Lana and Jerome

Laurie DrumIn my USA life, I was a teacher in Texas for 15 years. I was also a professional photographer, a soccer mom, a horsewoman, and the neighborhood hospitality queen. I did "Joanna Gaines farmhouse style" before Chip and JoJo were even a thing - we restored an 1884 Victorian farmhouse in small town Texas and did shiplap walls until I thought I'd go crazy. I taught at NASA, scuba dived with astronauts in training, and studied animals at Sea World for educational purposes. I've tried just about everything, because I have an insatiable need to know if I can do it! Never underestimate a Texas girl in cowboy boots! In 2006, my husband Billy and I became cross-cultural workers (CCWs) with TMS Global. For five years, we served in three rural Quechua Wanca villages in the Andes of Peru. And when I say rural, I mean RURAL - like no potty! I spent my days in Peru learning to live a Quechua lifestyle in a rustic adobe house - cooking Peruvian foods, sewing with Quechua women, raising my chickens and goats and pigs, and planting my gardens. Now I live my life in small town Spain, serving other cross-cultural workers via teaching and training and care, and helping displaced people to navigate their new reality in Europe.
I'm passionate about fostering personal growth, growth in community, and growth in The Kingdom. Walking alongside others and helping them to use their unique design, their gifts and strengths and maximize their abilities to fulfill their God-given purpose - that's what makes my heart sing! Archives
