Happy Anniversary, Fishers of Men!
Fifteen years….what a privilege, what a joy, what a
testimony, what a celebration!
From the driveway of the home in which I grew up in Michigan
to a mountainside in Mexico;
 |
| Refuge Ranch today |
from one
toddler to twenty children;
 |
| Josiah and I nearly 15 years ago! |
 |
| 2017 |
from just a call from God and some dreams, to the reality of kilometers traveled, thousands of prescriptions written and Bibles given, buildings constructed,
staff joining forces and lives transformed,
these
fifteen years, as I look back, can only be summarized in one word…
INCREDIBLE!
The consummation of one prayer at a time,
one peso at a
time,
one kilometer at a time,
one soul at a time,
one hug at a time,
one
schoolwork question at a time,
one tear at a time,
and one day
(sometimes one
minute and even one second) at a time,
has brought us to now.
So, celebrate we will!
Our 15th anniversary celebration will take place
on Saturday, October 20th, 2018 at a Christian Bible college only
five minutes from Refuge Ranch here in Central Mexico!

Now, some of you just stopped reading and thought: “Nope.
Not possible.” Please, just read
on and let the possibility of joining us for this celebration play around in your mind and heart and prayers.
That afternoon and evening we will join together: my family,
the Refuge Ranch staff, our Evangelistic Medical Mission Crusade volunteers and
YOU, to sing praises to the Lord for all that He has done, in Spanish and
English, as well as hear His Word and the story of these years, in both
languages. We will share a delicious
dinner and fellowship that crosses borders and barriers. A Fishers of Men mini-museum will introduce
you to and highlight different aspects of both the Evangelistic Medical Mission
Crusades and Refuge Ranch.
But, that’s not all!
We have designed a weekend full of activities that will give
you an excellent taste of Mexican culture as well as getting to experience
Fishers of Men firsthand! The itinerary
includes a visit to some incredible pyramids, the world’s best tacos, a day
immersed at Refuge Ranch with the family and joining us for Sunday worship,
among other things.
We suggest you fly into Mexico City on Thursday, October 18
and back out on Tuesday, October 23, in order to take full advantage of your
time here!
Only $200.00 will cover all your ground transportation,
lodging (at the Bible college), meals and activity expenses for the entire
weekend!
If you’ve never visited us before this is the perfect
opportunity to see the ministry in action, without doing a full-fledged mission
trip.
Have a friend you’ve wanted to introduce to Fishers of
Men? I couldn’t think of a better way to
do that than to spend a weekend with us!
Been here before?
Come back! See what God has
done! And dream with us about all He has
yet to do!
