Collins Family in Mesick, MI

It’s that time of year again. Some of my closest friends and family have begun to ask me what I want for Christmas. I have never been one to ask for anything big, but this year is different. This year I am asking for something big. Every year as December rolls around, I am flooded with memories of my favorite Christmas. December 2010 was a Christmas season that changed the way I view Christmas, family, giving, receiving, and many other things. I spent that Christmas season at an orphanage. In the days leading up to Christmas I spent time sorting through a few donated toys and school supplies to try to choose individual gifts for each child. I spent time with children who were crying because they had no family to be with for Christmas. I saw children with a sparkle in their eyes, because to them, their “tios” (house parents) and the other kids were their families.

Who We Are We are Chris and Sarah Collins. We currently live in Traverse City, MI, where we serve at Bible Baptist Church. God brought us together because of our common love for Spanish and our desire to serve God on a Spanish speaking mission field. New Appointees We are thrilled to announce that we are now officially part of the Camino Global family! The dream that God gave us a couple years ago is starting to come true. It is hard to believe, but we are actually on our way to becoming missionaries to Mexico. We had a fabulous time in our Candidate Assessment and Orientation at the Camino headquarters in Dallas. We loved learning about the organization and how God is using Camino Global to reach Spanish speakers across the world. We thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the staff and seeing their heart for God and His work among Spanish speaking people. It was a wonderful time, and we are so thankful that God has brought us to this organization. You can  learn more ...

Hi Friends! We just want to give you all a short update on our journey to Mexico. Chris and I will be traveling to Dallas, Texas this weekend to spend the next week with the staff at the Camino Global headquarters. During this next week we will be sharing our burden and vision for ministry in Puebla, Mexico, as well as learning more about the Camino Global team and how we can work together. Lord willing, at the end of next week, we will officially be missionaries with Camino Global! This is a very big step for us in our journey, and we are very excited to finally be at this point. As we have been working on our application and paperwork these past several weeks it has begun to really sink in for me that this is really happening! I continue to be amazed at God’s timing and provision for our lives. Becoming a missionary is something that has been in our hearts for many years, individually and now together as a couple. It has been such a blessing to see God’s hand in every step along the...
