A New Ministry

Today we worked in a mountain area that was at one time called Israel - they changed the name and I just cannot remember the new "official" name. Israel is the first community where TORCH built a building and planted a church. The church is going strong with over 130 adults and more than 80 children. The building is very good and is a center of the community.
Today we used the building to try out "Photo Ministry". The idea was thought up by Mrs. Lane from Columbia, SC and it is so simple. The group from SC brought a photo printer and some simple paper frames. They took pictures of the children, printed & framed them, and then worked with the kids to decorate the frame and add a verse so that everytime someone looked at the picture they would be reminded of this day and the verse that they were taught. The children loved having their picture made and being able to take it home to their mother.
Later in the day, we made cotton candy - raspberry of course - and every kid in the village (plus our workers) were smurf blue.
While the team was working in the area of the church building, there was a house being built for a family that had lost everything they owned in a fire. The house crew did an amazing job and took care to deliver the best house possible for this family. Speaking of family, ours grew by three yesterday. Cisco was on the mountain yesterday talking about Jesus. While all the activity was going on, Cisco participated in the harvest of three new sisters in Jesus.
Our God is GOOD... All the time!
Wednesday was truly a great day in Honduras.
Blessings,
Marc

Our group from South Baton Rouge arrived home around 1:30 Weds morning. Though everyone was weary that is not what I was hearing. "It was so neat; we are going again next year; wish you could have seen...
I want to thank you all for the work you are doing there in Honduras - it is wonderful. On a more selfish note, thank you for the work that was done in the hearts of the kids from South Baton Rouge.

Blessings,
