We give thanks to God for His hand in all of this. We ask you to join us as we lift the Moxons up in prayer in the ministry that is before them and peace as they are seperated from family in the States.<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 288px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583281880546183026" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDPwmVZAXfBEZhqiECwbasldyATfQog0mo1dlbX_Il3soiQSkCaOy0arr3KAOxlfCOgGxmEd2ukFXoglizcuQdMIC2yCAw2feLB90IkRl3BJmlL_HVU6I8Fm9aSddCNxM1UZowK2zWpw0/s320/Moxons.jpg" />Brian and Tammiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15776178257041776004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242197485875994983.post-77077341497799359962011-03-12T07:19:00.000-08:002011-03-12T07:22:23.398-08:00Hi-Bye!Hi...Brian arrived back from Africa very encouraged about the possibilities and the men who are concidering working there.<br /><br />Spent a day back preparing for his trip to the DR and Haiti...Bye!Brian and Tammiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15776178257041776004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242197485875994983.post-87231149609371968732011-03-12T07:03:00.000-08:002011-03-12T07:07:53.549-08:00Did Someone Say Africa?Yep, another trip to Africa. Just a two week trip this time around.<br /><br />Brian, along with two other fellows involved in and interested in doing mission work in Africa, has returned to Swaziland for a survey trip.

So off we go eye-balling black ice along the way and avoiding chunks of ice falling off vehicles as we drove through the night to get there. It was worth it being able to see one of our favorite families.<br /><br />Took off the next day to head to Texas and see the Grandkids. Too excited to say the least!!<br />Pops was able to catch up on some good hugs and kisses and we were off again to visit Blake and Katie and their children in Ft. Worth. Lots of talking and dreaming of mission work, sharing the Good News, and reaching out to the hurting.<br /><br />It was a great road trip!<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzSxmCbbM7DFxXN_PR5_jsIHbF96c2mY2QSBRRl8ofHXSUDDoCODJOAH_waGgfP8VazhzucABzxFDBBAUfsCQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Brian and Tammiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15776178257041776004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242197485875994983.post-45773257563645046722011-03-12T06:14:00.000-08:002011-03-12T06:23:13.213-08:00January 5th<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhloO9nwRxqfWj48VIFxfR127UZw2DOHKbf7svuHIKj_XikLFWEJal1Q1Xr860aeGn5sPBdcRIGc82O9zHw0Hcm1aiU2VB18ZU0cQ2ydrWdtg144ip4n6Q1qfms1lgSVY9rYO0hKGwI0ec/s1600/IMG_0898.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583198028501097362" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhloO9nwRxqfWj48VIFxfR127UZw2DOHKbf7svuHIKj_XikLFWEJal1Q1Xr860aeGn5sPBdcRIGc82O9zHw0Hcm1aiU2VB18ZU0cQ2ydrWdtg144ip4n6Q1qfms1lgSVY9rYO0hKGwI0ec/s320/IMG_0898.JPG" /></a><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:180%;"></span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:180%;color:#3333ff;"><strong>Happy Birthday, Daddy!!!</strong></span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:180%;color:#3333ff;"><strong></strong></span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:180%;color:#3333ff;"><strong>Love you</strong></span></div><br /><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;color:#3333ff;"></span></strong></div><br /><div align="center"></div>Brian and Tammiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15776178257041776004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242197485875994983.post-24827472367356020212011-03-12T06:00:00.000-08:002011-03-12T07:26:58.274-08:00Guess What?We're expecting!!

AIDS is definitely at the top of the list and the children left behind when parents die from the disease. MGM will continue to pursue how they can help in these efforts. Please keep us in your prayers as we strive to be His hands and feet on earth.Brian and Tammiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15776178257041776004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242197485875994983.post-10386988581494974602011-03-12T05:42:00.000-08:002011-03-12T05:49:05.010-08:00Grandkids in FLKaiya and Liam had a great time in Florida.<br /><ul><li>Playing with all the dogs at Grandmama's</li><li>Samari sword play</li><li>Checking out all the Christmas lights</li><li>Adding their decorations to the tree</li><li>Swimming at the club house</li><li>Driving around on the golf cart</li><li>Gator hunting with Great Uncle Bobby</li><li>Playing at the park and meeting Hana</li><li>Christmas gift treasue hunt</li><li>Caroling</li><li>Leaving goodies for Santa</li><li>Christmas Day</li></ul>Brian and Tammiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15776178257041776004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242197485875994983.post-71563131901258874732011-03-12T04:49:00.000-08:002011-03-12T05:42:13.938-08:00ChristmasHad a wonderful Christmas!!<br /><br /><div><div></div><div>Kids, Grandkids from Canadian came down. </div><br /><div>First time to spend Christmas with Shawnean and Jono as a married couple.</div><br /><div>Festivities held at Momma's and Uncle Bobby and Aunt Joanne came for Christmas dinner and played Mr and Mrs Clause.</div><br /><div>Brian was in Africa, so he missed out, but was able to spend Christmas at his folks.</div><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583187852051923282" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipqHAlcESofhSinl_Q_jasEux9ea1R_K9Drvqv-QH8Ts2DiLEYrsZwqNmkpNweFGnf-nFHEm-2XiI8zPlXsjQGl3-Tlun4nQmIoaqjR6DghoF4Xd5o7hvxrjZghCrVD_osB8UE_BQ9pcY/s320/IMG_4991.JPG" /><br /><div></div></div>Brian and Tammiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15776178257041776004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242197485875994983.post-90338172721784250452011-03-12T04:47:00.000-08:002011-03-12T04:49:33.978-08:00Delinquent!I've been delinquent on updating this personal blog, so there's some catching up to do...Brian and Tammiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15776178257041776004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242197485875994983.post-59948649433544601532010-12-08T08:49:00.000-08:002010-12-08T08:55:08.824-08:00Where's BrianSometimes I feel like I'm trying to figure out one of those "Where's Waldo?" picture books as I wonder where Brian would be on any given day. (Funnily enough one of Brian's childhood nicknames was Waldo).<br /><br />He's good about calling ever so often and hurriedly filling me in on where he is, where he's been and where he's hoping to go, but with limited time on the phone no details get shared, except for those important ones of..."I miss you", "I love you". Those are the words that help the time apart.Brian and Tammiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15776178257041776004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242197485875994983.post-10596800784917270012010-11-27T08:04:00.000-08:002010-12-08T08:49:07.209-08:00Mmm-mmm GoodIt's said over and over and over again, but it's true.

Memories of people and events are associated with each one. They are reminders to help me remember to lift up the people who are being reached out to, the missionaries, the interns, the group members and all those who give so much to the efforts being done. Besides, my group shirts have opened up many coversations to share what it is that we do and why when people query about the statements, the designs or the places imprinted on them.<br /></div><div id="ms__id13"></div><div id="ms__id12">Yeah...I'll keep wearing my group shirts!</div><br /><div id="ms__id15"></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 251px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519130948080397922" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBQF_Tp4vH8bc8UmZ3JW4wYl1Q3hmtieII2ojzVDTyQuVcohLBtkE4R6ZiVF_LMJvUfteOi9K0MPC7jzQBndjAZ2_QujioVKKHhME5LZM3bPFUwx1mbnnESbhAvxo6TSoEYM2EY9e2sb0/s320/IMG_1254resized.jpg" /><br /><div id="ms__id14"></div></div>Brian and Tammiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15776178257041776004noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242197485875994983.post-6143061224717221232010-09-17T06:31:00.000-07:002010-09-17T07:04:12.863-07:00Bye Brian<div id="ms__id17">Somewhere over the vast ocean (not sure which one that would be at this point of his trip) Brian is flying to Africa.

First and foremost the relationships with the kids and neighbors in the neighborhood of Lagosette by time spent with them visiting, worshipping in the local church, and the VBS that they had prepared to present. The children absolutely loved it as did the young adults and grownups who brought littler ones and passerbys.</div><br /><div id="ms__id79">Lots of work was done at the school house and the church building.

It was our one and only medical group and they didn't stay out at the camp. People from Lagosette and surrounding villages were able to get medical attention that they otherwise would not be able to afford. The clinics all went well as did work projects and VBSs.

Not only to be able to relax and enjoy some sites and tastes of the Dominican Republic, but to also be able to visit the staff at the Manna Camp in the DR. Had a great visit with the new missionaries there as well as seeing familar faces visiting with groups and the DR interns. </div><br /><div id="ms__id51"></div><div id="ms__id52">As much fun as it was in the DR, we were all ready to get back to Haiti and be with all those kids!!</div></div>Brian and Tammiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15776178257041776004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242197485875994983.post-992471869718492552010-07-02T05:12:00.000-07:002010-07-02T05:29:23.265-07:00Feeding Program<div id="ms__id39">Manna Global Ministries has continued the school feeding program throughout the vacation period this year and it has been a blessing to the children in the area. Some of the groups will have the opportunity to help in the serving of the food to the children in the upcoming weeks.<br /></div><div id="ms__id40"> </div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 254px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489284601632980114" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn3CfcLqzKv1zuQDIUApT7n0cQzHxGl_NaWhip-OXqmVTpWeVvwehHooWB-q2RPfzzAHPOhJhwbt1Ksi-n8EPTkiEmwphhyqCdwC8pvHXdI1886tDv_HYpYMkcs7OhCtdwJMsbYsGu_Gs/s320/IMG_1143feeding_2.jpg" /><br /><p>As large a blessing this is to the community, I think the most enjoyable time is spent hanging out with the children while they wait for the food to be served. They love hearing you use your Creole and teaching them a few words in English. They love to check out the hairiness on the guys’ arms and legs too!<br /></p>Brian and Tammiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15776178257041776004noreply@blogger.com1
