We have a great desire to see some small dorms added to bless the main base village, Diez de Abril. If these come together like we hope, we can bring groups down for trips made much easier. Each dorm at about 10ftx10ft would have 2 sets of bunk beds. We have a vision to connect more dorms as the finances come in to make this possible.
Welcome and Be Encouraged here to follow hard after God and trust Him in a faith-walk and sometimes a leap!

Happy Spring from the Baileys! From planting in the garden and loads of yard work and spring cleaning to having birthdays, to keeping up in (home) school so we can finish up come June 1st, we have been busy to say the least! Its been a good kind of busy as our kids have been having a blast with some new pets - they got little baby red-ear slider turtles for their birthdays! Evey just turned 9, March 17th! (Wow! where does the time go?) Nate just turned 4 years old March 31st - he named his turtle Nemo and loves to play with it. Moriah turned 7 on April 15th. She wanted so badly to ride a horse but I think the circus did just fine! AND we all got to ride an elephant! How cool is that?!
The Baileys are at it again!
We are heading into Missions this summer and taking many trips to Mexico! Keep up to date with us with our email newsletters! Comment with your email to subscribe!

Time to come out of the Zombie Zone!!!
Heres my bundle of snuggles... now 2 months old!
and what did i mean by the....Zombie Zone, U ask? well everyone that has had a baby knows its hard to get kicked back into gear after labor and delivery...oh and my husband had emergency surgery two weeks after that, then i had surgery...we had needless to say a LOT of recovering going on for a while around here!
Now i'm sensing a new spring in my step and feel i'm able to breathe again after the fog has lifted.
So I've picked back up on my newest hobby of sewing! I made this brown minky/ribbon blanket u see in these shots.

..........................Short but really sweet!
Hello everyone...we're back! God did some great things through us this past week. Although, it was not a long trip God did place us in the right places at the right times!
On our way to the children's home to give the kids a guitar that was donated, Israel was able to help a man who had twisted his 18wheeler truck off the side of the road. He had been there since 2am when the accident happened. He had a big gash in his knee that Israel bandaged up good and also took the opportunity to witness to the man.
This trip was different than we were expecting..we were prepared to do village ministry and show movies, but God didnt lead us in that direction. We ministered along the way at restaurants, at motels and at the waterfalls in Tamasopo, San Luis Potosi. We also had divine appointments with people that made contacts in more specific areas. While in Tamasopo for the day, Israel had to get the suburban in to see a mechanic and get the break pads changed. He witnessed and gave bibles out to 2 or 3 men there and used the opportunity to share about the love of God.
Later that morning we went to the waterfalls that we had heard about, which weren't far from where we were driving into, west of Tampico towards the city San Luis Potosi.
Around lunch time an older woman had fallen like 8feet from a rocky spot near a waterfall and Israel saw that people started running in that direction and immediately joined the rush to see what had happened. He had another chance to be in the right place at the right time! She had hit her head and face in several places, there was NO one else that had supplies or medical skill around. Israel wrapped her head and kept her calm and they loaded her in the back of a truck on a back board.
The pictures tell the stories, unfortunately we werent able to get as many ministry pictures as it wasnt convenient in every situation.
We were blessed to bless some with Bibles and share the gospel on a more individual basis on this trip.
On our drive home we spent the night in Diez De Abril,(just a few hours south of the US border) a village where Israel's parents have a ministry house by the church there. We had a great time visiting and encouraging some of the believers there and the pastors fed us dinner in their home :)
I left some of my children's ministry materials with them for their children's Sunday school classes....
Thanks everyone for your prayers and support for this trip, it was a lot of driving, we're glad to be out of the car. We thank God for His protection over us that got us home safely.
until next time....blessings!
