Great Days in Honduras

Tuesday & Wednesday have been wonderful – best described as two great days in Honduras. We worked both days in Los Pinos and the results have been amazing to say the least. In the past two days, we’ve built 6 houses, passed out over 100 bags of food in a very poor community, held a ladies class, sent about 20 people to spend time with children in Hospital Esquala, sent several teams into the community to tell the good news, and have seen 10 people become Christians. Simply amazing what our God can do and we are blessed to be a part of his plan.
In Los Pinos, the people that have new houses are so grateful for the chance to have a dry place to live with their families. One new house was built for a very young single mother, another for a family of 10, another for an elderly lady in a wheel chair, another for a lady that was going to lose her rental house on Monday the 31st. We can all tell you so many stories about people we have met that have had their prayers answered by the team that you sent to Honduras. When we finish a house, the people always know where the credit goes, they give the thanks and the credit to our God.
It is now early Thursday morning and we are all dreading the end of our mission. Sorry folks, we all just want to stay and continue to serve.
Over the next few days, we’ll continue to build, feed, love, and teach. All in the name of Jesus. Please continue to pray for our team. So far we have been very blessed with no major cases of Hondo Revenge, nothing more than a few scratches and mosquito bites. Pray for our evangelism team and for our safety.
We are all set for “Another Great Day in Honduras”

For the Starkville group - I'm so thankful to hear about all the great things that are happening. I will be especially lifting you up in prayer today as you visit Jimmy Hughes -- this will make two days of spiritual intensity, back-to-back. May you be refreshed by the presence of our God. In His care, Lori

Les Ferguson, Just read the blog and your comment from a few days back. We wish you and Karen were here with us also. And Billy and Lisa and Don and Cynthia and the Chaffins and everyone else, too. It is a great trip, but it is not quite right when you guys are not with us. Ugh. I am starting to sound unsouthern. I meant when y'all aren't with us. Love everyone.
