We took our first mission trip to San Quintin this past summer. We chose this trip with Reel Life because we were able to take our children (9 and 11 years) and all were able to be involved. Joining with Mexican Medical Ministries, we participated in a health fair, where basic health screenings were done for […]
The timing of my friend’s phone call inviting me to join a team of 18 men traveling to serve alongside Forgotten Children’s Ministry in Honduras was impeccable. My heart was filled with excitement and joy that God was answering my prayers. The mission trip, everything we saw, the feelings of pain, sorrow, and hopelessness, the […]
Taking our families to Haiti forever impacted and changed our worldview. We spent four full work days in the poorest section of Haiti. At times, it was nearly too much to bear. It’s heartbreaking to realize that a week of our summer is a lifetime away for too many people in Haiti. Our brief four days […]
My sixteen year old son and I recently participated in a Reel Life trip to Cuba. It was an awesome experience and one we will cherish for the rest of our lives. The Cuban people who we encountered were warm and hospitable and very hopeful about the future. But what was most striking about the […]
“Our week-long trip to Haiti was not nearly long enough. Over the course of the trip, our team had bonded and become a family that was so special to me. I already knew a few of the members before the trip, but most were new friends and we grew very close. There is something about […]

This spring I had the privilege to take a trip to Uganda with Reel Life and Sozo Children. This country has been a place God put on my heart when I was in high school so much that my friends and family always knew I would spend some amount of time there at some point. […]
The Lord showed Himself faithful as five guys departed their “normal” lives and headed down to Guatemala to serve with Potter’s House. Potter’s House is a ministry directed toward the individuals (they call them Treasurers) who make their home in the Guatemala City dump. More than 11,000 people live and work in and around the […]
As we approach the turning of a new year, resolutions abound. Some are kept, others no so much. More exercise, better diet, more saving, better use of time… the list of good ideas and nice things goes on and on. No doubt, these things are all good, but what about doing something in 2015 that […]
The annual Reel Life mission to the Southern Baja was planned long before September 14, when hurricane Odile made landfall. The strongest storm ever recorded to hit the area left around 10,000 homes totally destroyed in its wake, while thousands more suffered extreme damage. The Mexican Military was called in to restore order, while numerous […]
Costa Rica, March 2014 Choosing to go on a short-term trip to Costa Rica this past spring break has been one of the best experiences of my life. Working with the orphanages and being with those kids really hit me hard. Even though they seemed so loving and happy, they came from an aggressive home […]
