 Blue has been a Mission Service Corps Volunteer since 1985. Unable to read, he left school in rebellion to be on his own. Motorcycles and drug activity consumed his life from age 16 to 33.  He insisted on his own way with no regard for others, and verbally and mentally mistreated his mother who was a single parent, until he found her a victim of suicide. Pride and grief caused him to hide from all his feelings of loneliness and guilt and he turned to drugs and games of lies.  A school bus was his home and he traveled, hiding behind a "tough guy" front, when in reality he was very lonely.  A man witnessed to him and introduced him to his family at Christmas.  This was the first Christmas he had spent with others. Three month later, he turned his lonely life over to Jesus Christ.  Jesus turned it into a "Life Abundant."  Blue always thought that freedom was doing whatever he wanted, But real freedom is being set free from sin and become a slave to righteous .   

Romans 6:18  

"Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness." 

 Iris has been a Mission Service Corps volunteer since 1980.  She was born and raised in Houston, Texas.  Iris became very rebellious, ran away from home and became involved in drugs and all the garbage that accompanies it.   She was arrested as a teenager on armed robbery charges and sentenced to eight years in the Texas Department of Corrections.  She had to serve most of that time in solitary confinement due to rebellion and lack of respect for others.  One and a half years after her release and more street involvement, a young man witnessed to her and she responded to Jesus Christ. 

Iris "knelt down a tramp 

and stood up a lady." 

 Denim three days after being born was on the mission field.  At the age of seven he prayed to receive Jesus because in his own words "Jesus was a superhero that defeated the devil". 

Traveling around the world with his parents he has sang shared taught everything you can do at church and on missions.   It wasn't until he was twenty that he realized he loved Jesus but he never surrendered to him.  There's a difference between loving someone from afar and making a commitment.

 Loving the idea of Jesus or surrendering all that I am.  He now travels with his parents with a new question.  Do you love Jesus or have you surrendered to him?
