This week was the beginning of the summer TORCH Mission season. My friend Terry Reeves and a group of about 40 are in Honduras and are busy working in the Valley of Angels. You may have read about the Hurricane that went through Central America over the past couple of days but, that wasn't enough to stop the work. The team was able to build 2 houses in the pouring rain.
Terry's team will leave in about a week and will be immediately followed by a group led by my friend Mark Connell. Mark's team will be about 80 strong and is mostly from Birmingham, Alabama. As soon as the Alabama team is gone, a mixed team from Florida - Louisiana - & North Carolina arrives - followed by Tennessee - then Florida and Georgia - and finally OUR TEAM!
Our little group of 160 will be blessed to work in many of the same areas that the 350 or so before us have been working. A lot of seeds will be sown before we gwt to Honduras and we need to be praying for a big harvest. For those of you that have never been on a TORCH Mission, get ready - you are going to have a life changing experience. For those of you that are going back a second time and area wondering if the second time can be anywhere as good as the first - you will be amazed!
Please pray for every team that we will be following. Pray for our work and that God will continue to bless us with the tools that we need to serve him. We need to work for our benevolent and building fund unitl the day we leave. Be bold in asking people to provide for food and building funds.
