August Update

Jon & Mandy

This has been a month of celebration and preparation! As of the beginning of August, Expedition Media is now officially registered as a Nonprofit in Minnesota! We are so excited for this step moving forward!

 

In preparation for moving in October, we have started to downsize our belongings. Our apartment and essential items are going to be moved into storage while our clutter and extras are being donated or sold. After storing most of our items in the US, our hope is to move with camera gear, clothing, and a few other personal belongings. While we figure out an apartment, we will be staying at the Provee home base where we stayed for our internship in 2020. On top of this, we have officially purchased our one-way tickets to Guatemala and will be flying out on October 27th!!

Spanish lessons are underway! We have restarted our Spanish lessons with Ary over Facetime! Ary, her husband Steven, and their three kids are currently missionaries in Guatemala. The lessons have been going well, Jon has previous experience with Spanish so it’s been easier for him to pick up the language.

 

This past Saturday, we were able to be a part of Weston and Haylee Ronan’s baby shower/blessingway. These two are preparing to welcome their baby girl at the end of September! Weston is Mandy’s older brother, his wife Haylee and son, Emerson are missionaries in France and will be returning soon. They have been a major encouragement and resource with our mission journey!

We are preparing for Art Show Season in MN. For those of you who might not know, Jon has a travel and landscape photography business where he has been doing Art Shows in MN during the Fall since 2016. We sell Jon’s travel photography prints. It started out as a hobby but are now looking to use this outlet as a way to share how God is using our ministry in Guatemala. 100% of the profits are going towards new gear and supplies for Expedition Media. We are extremely excited to share our mission with others and see how God is going to use the business side of Expedition Media! Feel free to check out the travel gallery below.

This month we began our fundraising. We have met with a few churches, friends and family in the Minneapolis area to share our missional vision. God has continued to encourage us through you all and we are so thankful!
