Real People

Real people are hurting in San Miguel this morning!
There is a community on the outskirts of Tegucigalpa called San Miguel - some of us have worked there and know & love the people of that community. Last summer a new church was planted there and there are many new Christians worshiping at the building that TORCH built. This morning, there are also several families living in the building. If you have been to San Miguel, you know the landscape and you will remember that it is in the mountains and there is a stream running throug the center of the community. When the rains come, everything runs into the stream and when hard rains come, there is flooding. That is the situation in San Miguel this morning. The rains have been intense and many in the community have lost their homes and their meager possessions.
There are families that live in homes that TORCH built that now have knee deep mud for floors and that is the key reason that we will be adding floors to every home we build this year. Right now there is a TORCH team working in the community and they will do much to ease the pain in the San Miguel community - but, they can only help one family at a time. The needs there are great - just as they are in Los Pinos, Santa Ana, Ojojona, Nuevo Oriental, Nuevo Jerusalem, Mateo, El Magote, Valle de Angeles, La Paz, and all over the Tegucigalpa area. Please don't be afraid to tell everybody that you know about the needs of the people that you are going to serve.
We can build a house - with a floor for $800
We can feed a family - for a month for $15 - 20
We can treat a community in a clinic for $1000
........If we don't ask people to join our team by helping our benevolence fund, we could find ourselves wishing people well - but doing nothing to help them.
I know that many of you are working tirelessly to make sure that we are building, feeding, & helping. Please keep working until the day we leave.
Our fund is the tool that we need to assure us of ...
Another Great Day In Honduras.
