Each winter we travel South in our RV motor home to go to many churches to sing and present our ministry at. We also visit some friends along the way. Please scroll down through the below posts to see where we went and to view some beautiful pictures of our exciting adventures. God bless you all! -The Rodrigues Family

We deeply enjoyed our time with the Mike Keller Family. Praying together, studying God’s Word together, exhorting one another, and sweet fellowship. They showed our family some of the sweetest hospitality we have ever experienced! Thank you, Keller Family!

Until Next Time, The Rodrigues Family

One of the things I LOVE when we are in Florida, is being invited over for dinner to a beautiful, Florida home. ❤ Check out this beautiful home we had dinner at last night before the church service. 😊 Thank you, Sacketts, for your hospitality!

2 children with their licenses, and 11 still to teach! Yikes! Kaylee’s first driving lesson by Dad after the church service here in Florida.

We are here in Florida and guess what? We got a package from our precious Timothy ALL the way in Washington State. 💖 He wanted to remember and treat Nurie and I for Valentines Day. 💖💖

Timothy, your thoughtfulness and honoring me (Mom) and your sweet sister for Valentines Day meant SO much! You are going to make such a KIND husband someday! Thank you from the depths of our hearts! 😊 💜 Mama & Nurie

What a GREAT week we had at this week long Revival Services!
Farewell until next year to our DEAR friends! 😢❤ Revival services were GREAT and VERY refreshing to our souls. We LOVE you, Gardens Baptist Church! Thank you for your hospitality to our family! 💛💛💛 The Rodrigues Family

LOVED taking this precious Pastor’s wife and my DEAR friend – Dana Parker out to coffee for some sweet fellowship! 😁❤

Fun fact. Did you know that in the “jungles” of Florida, there live wild/boar hogs/pigs? This is one we saw grazing VERY near the church we are staying at. Yikes! 😯

We met Billy Graham’s “look alike”. He was a Pastor for years nonetheless.

What a JOY it has been to be at Victory Baptist Church with Pastor Sawyer down here in Florida. Their church is growing and it is truly an exciting place to be!

Also, we have enjoyed some Florida sunshine while here. Pastor Sawyer and his precious wife Terri are some of the DEAREST people you will ever meet! They are truly the “salt of the earth”.

Thank you for your incredible hospitality to our family! We LOVE you folks! ~ The Rodrigues Family

My guys had an AWESOME time with Pastor Sawyer on a fishing trip in the Gulf of Mexico. 😊😁 Thank you, Pastor Sawyer!

David caught a TIGER Shark here! Wow!

What an incredible time of fellowship we had with this dear family – The Bontrager Family Singers!

We loved watching them sing, played some instruments with them, ate breakfast with them and more importantly, were blessed by their LIKE MINDED goals towards raising up a large, godly family for the GLORY of God! ❤ 😊 Amen! What a JOY it is serving Jesus!

I am blessed to be married to the most wonderful man on the face of the earth! For Valentines Day here in Florida, my husband took me for a delicious dinner right at a restaurant with an OCEAN FRONT view on Miami Beach.

Also, he took me exploring (one of my favorite things to do). We checked out the Trump Resorts and Towers here on Miami Beach and even had fun going to the 30th floor of one of the buildings. Babe, thank you for a LOVELY day with you!

Also, I LOVE my teddy bear, perfume, chocolates and card! You are the BEST man I could ever have asked God for! Your Jillybean

What a GREAT time we had at Grace Bible Baptist Church in Leesburg, FL. What a precious / loving church they are! Plus, we saw 2 couples we KNEW from other Northern Churches. – ( Jerry & Debbie Phillips AND Mr. and Mrs. Hutchison)! What a joyous reunion!

What a joy it was to visit Landmark Baptist College and see Nurie’s sweet, lifelong friend – Jasmine Cady.

Sadie: “Girls, LOOK AT ME! I got Janessa to fall asleep!”

Us: “Oh, wow…okay…um…is she comfortable?” 🤔

Sadie: “Yes, isn’t she SO cute?!” 😊

Us: “Yes, Sadie, she is so cute and you have such a way with babies. Now, let’s get you and Janessa more comfortable.” LOL. 💖💛❤

What a LOVELY family week we had midst our traveling and meetings.

It was a time of spiritual and physical refreshment and VERY sweet family bonding.

What a blessing this family of 15 is to me! 😁

My husband preached a late Valentine’s Banquet. He did a great job!

What a blessing to pray with these precious folks as they seek to please God with their lives and raise up their children for God’s glory.

What a blessing it was to minister at this growing, booming church!!

Pastor and Mrs. Stidham and church family, we love you all and thank you dearly for your hospitality to our family!

We are SO thankful for the teachers at Nurie and Kaylee’s Bible Institute they are enrolled at! They were willing to record (on mp3) their lessons and send the girls their work to get done via e-mail. It has allowed Nurie and Kaylee the opportunity to still travel with us, but not get behind in their studies.

Phillip (who has a DEEP desire and calling to be a missionary someday) had 2 opportunities to PREACH in Florida. He has now preached 3 times total and is SO honored that God has allowed him these opportunities!!

One of the churches that Phillip was allowed the honor to preach at, was Lighthouse Baptist Church – Pastor Clark Walden – Port St. Lucie, FL. We LOVED seeing the Lighthouse Church family again! PRECIOUS people! We love you guys!

Below was a LOVELY, family day and our LAST day in Florida! So, we enjoyed the sunshine, park, and beach with our precious children.

Goodbye, Florida and our DEAR friends there…until next time. ~ The Rodrigues Family

Nurie is a GREAT blessing in our home and a STELLAR example to her younger siblings! So, David and I thought she deserved a special date with us in the beautiful, historical City of St. Augustine , FL (on our last day in Florida)! We just LOVE the history here.

Nurie, you are a delight to have in our lives and we are excited to see what God has in store for your future.

Love, Dad and Mom

As ALWAYS, it is a JOY to visit the Plath Family when we are down South. They live in Georgia. They are a precious family and it has become a “tradition” to visit them each year! Hosanna (the Plath’s oldest girl) is Nurie’s closest friend and Nurie will be in Hosanna’s wedding this coming June!

We are blessed to call the Plath Family our friends. I enjoyed my fellowship with the mother – Kim. We LOVE you guys! Thank you also for the delicious dinner and thoughtful gifts! 😁💜💛❤

With Love and Thanks, The Rodrigues Family 😉

What a blessing it was to minister at this wonderful church in Georgia.

We have made wonderful new friends. We love you all at HOPE BAPTIST CHURCH and thank you for your TREMENDOUS hospitality towards our family!

Driving through Atlanta, Georgia …..

This beautiful lady – Cynthia – is on my Plexus team and I am SO proud of her!

In our travels, we went to Alabama and I presented Plexus at a Plexus Opportunity Meeting that Cynthia put on. She did a GREAT job! It was a GREAT turn out and I took pics of some of the people that were there.

Thanks again, Cynthia, for all your hard work! Thank you also to Cynthia’s team for coming and being a part of this fun night! ~Jill

While at Cynthia’s, some of our children LOVED playing on her farm and with the animals! It is BEAUTIFUL there!

Coffee with Cynthia the next morning…

What a JOY it was to be at this church in West Virginia on Thursday and Friday to sing and update on our ministry for their Mission’s Conference. They fed us well and we enjoyed SWEET fellowship! Thank you, First Baptist Church! ~The Rodrigues Family

What a blessing this church was to us yesterday! Young families- on FIRE for God! Tons of children in the nursery! Growing, thriving, view children as a gift from God, etc. We have been blessed to minister here! We love you all here at Bible Baptist Church in Ohio! Thank you for the delicious food and gracious hospitality.

We were parked near Hocking Hills, Ohio. So, I and a few of the children decided to go for a hike! I got a LOT of miles in and some great pictures! How BEAUTIFUL God’s creation is here!

**Check out these gorgeous pictures!!

Pics with…. Jill, Renee, Phillip, Samuel, Gabriel, Tessie & Hannah

While in Hocking Hills, Ohio, we stopped at this gorgeous Lodge. Special Memories!

One more FUN thing to add to our absolutely magical day – we stopped at this fun Pencil Sharpener Museum.

On our way to the next meeting in Pennsylvania, we stopped at the 3rd BIGGEST Cabella’s in the country! How fun! Plus, David took me to Cheddars for much needed one on one time. I sure to LOVE this family God has blessed us with!!

Enjoying being at the Family / Missions Conference in PA!

I am BEYOND thrilled to say that lots of souls were saved! My family personally led 2 of them to the Lord on visitation! Hallelujah!

What can I say about these 2 AMAZING people?!! ❤ They have worked tirelessly on planning meals for this Missions / Family Conference week – on TOP of working their full-time jobs, etc. God has indeed seen their labor of love this week! All the food has been delicious!

**Above: Special Missionary Family to Europe at the Conference.

What a PLEASURE it was having my sister – Angie – and her 8 precious children come visit the last church (New Testament Baptist Church) we were at in Pennsylvania. Here are some special pictures…

Farewell, our sweet friends at New Testament Baptist Church….until next year. We love you SO much!

We are now HOME SWEET HOME and enjoying it! There is truly NO place like home!

Sadly, we are living in a country where there is a Holocaust of aborted babies (all under the guise that woman should have a right to choose.) The slaughter of these MILLIONS of babies, is devastating and we fear it will bring INTENSE judgement from God upon our nation. Take a look at these quotes / pics below about this very issue.

Truthful thought to ponder…

We LOVE the Word of God- the Bible. Here are some verses from there.

Ps 139:13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.

Ps 119:11 ¶ Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee

Ps 119:133 ¶ Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.

Ps 119:142 ¶ Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.

Ps 121:1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2 My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth!!

Ps 128:1 Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.

Ps 142:5 I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.

Jeremiah 20:11 ” But the LORD is with me as a mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten.”

I cannot tell you HOW MANY TIMES we have felt like this. When Scripture convicts, people fight it…including my own wicked flesh sometimes.

Oh, to be like THEE, blessed Redeemer!

We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual wickedness in high places!

We hope you have enjoyed this VERY lengthy post …LOL. Farewell, until next time.

Serving Jesus With Joy, The Rodrigues Family
