On Our Way


We are on our way with three suitcases filled with 141 lbs. of items donated for our Ometepe brothers & sisters in Christ.  In addition to the Christ Church Lenten and other cash donations we have lots of children's clothing, 25 baseball gloves (and some balls), 24 toothbrushes, paste and bars of soap, 28 shampoos, lots of small toys (matchbox cars, bouncy balls, puppets, etc).

Special thanks to all who contributed to the Ometepe Island Mission and for your continued prayers & support.
Praise God!

Welcome to our Blog



Welcome to the Ometepe Island, Nicaragua Missions blog of T.J. and Roe.  This Advent and Christmas season is extra special to us.  In addition to the usual Christmas lists, decor, baking and shopping, we are preparing to give our time and energy to serve Jesus on Ometepe Island, Nicaragua.

On our upcoming trip, we are proud to represent our parish, Christ Episcopal Church (Woodbury, NJ), visiting with the Fritz Family Missionaries in Nicaragua.

We intend to use this blog as a means for you to participate on this journey, pray with us, and to witness God's work....from the comfort of your own home.  Through this lens, we hope you're both humbled and inspired...to strenghthen your faith and understanding that God can do great things with the smallest things in impossible situations....like the birth of our King in a manger!

Stay tuned!

T.J. and Roe
