BORGER, Texas

Last year the “Borger Girls” showed the rest of us how to get things done. (See the reports form July & August of 2005)
Well, I am happy to report that 4 of the 6 Borger Girls are returning and they are bringing another 8 people with them. I am excited about this because this is the church where I grew up. Borger, Texas is excited about missions and especially what TORCH is doing in Honduras.
I was able to be with my friends in Borger over the weekend as the church where I grew up was having an 80th anniversary reunion. It was really special to be with people that I haven’t seen in a very long time. I haven’t seen many of these folks in more than 20 years.
While I was in Borger I was able to meet with the team to talk about what to expect and to answer a few questions. The excitement there is contagious.
One more thing about the Borger Team that is going to make this year one of the best ever for me and my family – my mom & dad are going with us. Yep, Ma & Pa Tindall are gonna hop the plane to Hondo to build houses, feed the hungry, and to do the work that God planned for them before time began (Ephesians 2:10). This is awesome because both of my parents have been wonderful supporters and encouragers for this work and ministry for a long time. My mom is a champion of missions in Honduras and she is going to be amazed when she and dad get to see that their investment of time and money in a land that they have never seen is paying bigger dividends than they could have ever imagined. It is always a blast to go to Honduras to work with people that have never been there before but, working side by side with my parents, my wife, and my daughter will be the best ever. I can’t wait!
Looking forward to a great day (or 10) in Honduras!
Marc
