Ten Days In Honduras

Ten days in Honduras isn’t enough!
Every year until 2006 we have worked for two weeks and because of a number of things, we had a 10 day mission this year....next year we will go to 12 days.
I didn’t get a chance to post a summary of our Sunday in Honduras and it was again – Another Great Day in Honduras. We started off by heading to church in Los Pinos where there were over 300 in attendance at the morning services. Three years ago there wasn’t even a church in Los Pinos and now this congregation serves the community in many ways.
Just prior to heading off to Los Pinos, a young lady that is a friend of Cisco (one of our interpreters) chose to become a Christian and was baptized. After our church service in Los Pinos, there were two more new Christians and later on Sunday evening there was one more. Can you believe that we leave Honduras with 34 new brothers and sisters? Our God is awesome!
In the afternoon, we traveled out to Santa Ana to spend a little more time with Casa de Esperanza & the children there. The five little guys there are very happy and it is such a beautiful place. We were all gathered around the front of the house talking about how far Casa has come in just one year and the needs of the future. We also discussed the need for volunteer workers and how important it is to the project. After the formal presentation, my friend Deborah Krug from Borger, TX told me that she wanted to stay in Honduras and work for a few months in Honduras. Later in the day we found a phone and called her parents to let them know what Deborah wanted to do and they both offered their support – we left Deborah at Casa on Monday to begin her work. Sorta’ reminds me of the way that Jesus called some of the Apostles – he said come follow me and they didn’t say okay, I’ll see you in a few days, they just dropped what they were doing and left. Pray for Deborah!
The group from St Louis left Sunday morning so, we were down to about 50 on Sunday night. We were all tired by the end of the day.
Ours was a Great 10 days in Honduras!
