These are humble people who have very little, and who’s children travel from 20 minutes to 1.5 hours to go to school each day, many without shoes or supplies. The kids here have little hope. In a country where you can go to college for almost free, none of the kids raise their hands when they’re asked if any would like to become doctors or the next president of Nicaragua. Even at 5 years old, they have little to no hope.

A 5 hour journey through beautiful country, we look forward to getting to our destination and seeing, addressing, and communicating the needs of the people. More updates to follow.

We had a 4 hour layover in Houston and we met up with Kara’s Uncle Allen & Any Betty to pick up Colter. He’s 16 and this is his first missions trip. It was also his first flight, which was horrible. It’s been raining here for 2 days, and we circled the city for 45 minutes in a storm before landing. Quite bumpy. Our luggage was all here thankfully… a little wet, but not too bad :) I’ll post more updates later!

This area receives very little attention from most organizations, and Thom Walker has dedicated his life to serving this unreached area for Jesus Christ.

Malachi’s Trip

We are excited to be taking our Son, Malachi, with us to experience his first missions trip, and to get to meet Yedrick, a little boy that he has sponsored for about 2 years through Compassion International. We are praying that God do a work in Malachi’s heart during this trip, and believe we are being obedient to God’s commandment to train him up in the way of the Lord. We are excited about raising each of our 4 children and teaching them to live “on mission” all the time.

When

We will be leaving for Nicaragua on September 4, 2010 and while Malachi and I will be returning just 8 days later, Kara will be staying an additional two weeks to build relationships with her coworkers and leaders there in El Rama. I know God is doing a great thing in Kara’s heart and we believe that one day she will be leading that ministry, so there is nothing more important than this now. We have no business but this.

Financial Need

This trip is going to run about $2700 for the three of us to go. We have committed to paying $900 of this, and are asking our friends and family to please pray about supporting us financially. Any gift would be very much appreciated. If you can’t give, please consider committing to pray for us. Pray for our safety and protection, but above all, pray God be glorified, no matter what.





Thank You

We want to say a HUGE thank you to our brother, Ron Armas, for making this video for us. You are truly gifted bro, and we pray this video leads to many more for you. He does weddings like us, so we are all about getting the word out! http://www.vimeo.com/armasvideography

The wedding was absolutely beautiful. A classic couple, and gorgeous church, and a group of hilarious friends and family spent the night dancing at a new york-style building called “The Event Place” in downtown Joplin.

This was definitely one of my favorite weddings ever!

They came around 2:00, we started about 2:20, and we were done by 2:30 … these kids are insanely photogenic, and since mom was sportin’ sassy duds we threw her in the mix too ;) Thank you guys for letting us take a few snaps of Sam and Clark … true Seeger studs!

In June, the Southern Baptist Convention met and voted to appoint a task force to address the need for a Great Commission Resurgence. This task force is chaired by Dr. Ronnie Floyd and I had the privilege to create not just a website, but start from scratch on every aspect of branding. Working late in to the night just days before the site was to be viewed by Dr. Floyd, I grabbed a few color samples from a neck tie, and a blue sports coat. Added some shades of gray, and the logo was born. This week I was able to see many print pieces that have been created from this artwork, font, and color scheme, and I am very proud.

The site highlights the history and need of the GCR, uses WordPress posts to announce important information, press releases, task force blogs, photo galleries, and video, and allows people to register their commitment to pray for the GCR and it’s Task Force members. I tapped Israel Jernigan to write the plug-in that allows us to keep track of the prayer partners, and display them both alphabetically and chronologically. It’s an ever-changing site, with thousands hitting it weekly, and has been a lot of fun and very rewarding to be a part of.

The Crawfords are an amazing family, and we are very sad to see them move away. Brundi taught Malachi this past year in 4th grade, and she is the best teacher we have seen. Such a sweet lady! Also, I should note that Christina Bunker is interning this summer with Armas Photography and she joined us for this shoot. Possible we will add some of her photos here at a later date.

I won’t go into great detail, but it seems this young lady has a lot going for her, and has the luxury of options, which is usually the result of a bright mind, and strong character. She’s a future Razorback cheerleader, and carries on a strong family tradition at the University of Arkansas, several generations deep. Congrats on all of your accomplishments Miranda!

Max and I did the Dickson thing early in the evening Monday for his senior photos. He has hopes to become a photographer, and by the looks of his taste in gear, I think he’s going to do fine!

These guys have a much larger following than just NWA, but both play in the area often- which is very cool. BK had a smoke machine, so the lights are bit more intense on their shots.

Ken’s got that tall rocker thing going on, and Nicole is just stunning, and was the easiest person to coach … so this was a quick edit for me. Their wedding will be held at the foot of the Crosses at The Church at Pinnacle Hills in just a few weeks.

Kara and I had a great time, and we’re wondering why exactly we don’t just focus on weddings in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. We can all dream can’t we? Hope you guys love the pics!

Thankfully, we have not list power, but some of our family and friends have been in the dark and cold all night.

But first we let the kids go swimming… then we went for the final day of Magic. I rode Test Track 5 times and most of the kids road it 3-4 times. We did the Around the World thing and watched the fireworks show, IllumiNations which is the best Fireworks display I have ever seen. I took some photos, but I didnt have a tripod, so they’re pretty rough, but you get the picture…. hehe… pun. I’m looking forward to sleeping tomorrow.

The restaurant was amazing, and it was interesting to see the nicest Mexican eatery anyone will ever build … I mean, it’s Disney folks … no one is going to top it. Other than that, we spent about 5 hours between Mission Space and Nemo land. The aquarium was awesome! Oh, and someone beat up our stroller while we were eating, so we had to throw it away. Nice, huh?

The newest ride proved to be worth the continuous 90-minute wait. We didn’t stand in line, but the fast passes we acquired at 10am gave us quick access at 7pm. But talk about awesome… a 3D spinning ride that has you shooting 3D baseballs, gumballs, and rings at objects on the screen. It was awesome. Also, Kara and I rode the Rockin’ Roller Coaster with Aerosmith and man … it was intense. 60MPH in 2.8 seconds (4.5 G) which is more force than an astronaut feels at launch. Truly awesome

It was great to hang out with you both and take these tonight.

Corey & Somer Colbert lured me out to Lake Fayetteville, which, believe it or not, I had never been to in my 8 years in Northwest Arkansas. A great place to shoot, I’m sure I’ll be back soon. Their son, Gray, was a great sport like his folks as we walked through mud, and trotted down steep hills to get to the perfect spots. As you can tell, we lost Gray’s attention towards the end, but it still made for great pics of him.

Hal and Kimberly are great friends of ours and asked us to come out to their property in Siloam Springs to snap a few family photos. Talk about gorgeous! With about 15 minutes of daylight the kids did great and this is what we captured.
