We are the YOONCLAN!

The Yoonclan is answering a call to go to Maneadero, Mexico. After much prayer and consideration, we have committed to be here for three years (2011-2014). Our family will strive with prayer and work together to bring young, old and everyone in between, into the "JOY of HIS salvation".

Phil was a contractor in New Jersey and is now a contractor of souls for the kingdom of God. Joanne was a youth pastor at Cornerstone Fellowship and is now sharing the love of Christ for the people in Maneadero, MX. The Yoonies have traded in their English for Spanish and can't wait to say Christo te ama to their new friends!

We hope you will visit our blog frequently and partner with us to bring His love to His people in Mexico!

On the road...

Beginning in New Jersey... 
3200 miles
15 fill ups
5 days
and so many, oh so many bathroom breaks... 
Arizona
These past days have been filled with awe and amazement at the Hands of an Almighty God who created and still creates such beauty.  On route 66, the yoonclan witnessed the most beautiful sunset.  Red, orange and yellow  swirled together perfectly on a canvas blue and white sky.  The scene took our breath away.  On the night rides as the yoonies nestled in slumber and as the darkness enveloped the night, gigantic, brightly lit crosses marked the highways.  


These crosses reminded us that our Lord “will go before us and the God of Israel will be our rear guard” (Isaiah 52:12b). Those 
magnificent crosses served as beacons of hope and light amidst the darkness of the night sky.  Jesus, the author of light and hope, allows us to become extensions to bring hope and light to a world filled with such brokenness and darkness.  What a honor and privilege be be such an extension. 
Jesus, thank you for going ahead of us and Father for being our rear guard. Thank you Holy Spirit for painting the skies and bringing us to be again in awe of the One who created and creates such beauty.  We also give thanks to you who have prayed with us, for us, encouraged us, and have been part of “sending” us to Mexico.  We ask for your continued prayers and support as we transition to our new home and begin our lives as missionaries. 
We love you and miss you.
