This past week we were back in Ciudad España which is a community built for refugees from Hurricane Mitch which hit Honduras in 1998. We were there Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. We saw around 100 to 105 patients a day. Usually we see 15 -20% that just come for medicine for the future (we don’t like that). But here everyone was really sick. We saw lots and lots of children and babies with diarrhea and respiratory problems. The government health department for this large community has no doctor and practically no medicine. They were sending people to us!
The church that we worked through is call “Iglesia Cuadrangular”. What I like about working with them is while we are doing the “medical part”, they are working on the “spiritual part”. They would talk with the patients about Christ love for them and His plan for their salvation. They had a group of ladies that would pray with people for their healing or whatever problems they had. They also prayed for our health and our women’s clinic. If God is for you who can stand against you.

Return to Honduras

Hello from Honduras!
We are back home after a quick visit to Tennessee & Alabama. We visited with family and friends for a few days and then went to Tuscaloosa Alabama for a 5 day mission conference. The hospitality of the members of Tuscaloosa First UMC was something special. They went out of their way to take care of all our needs as well as the needs of the other missionaries in attendance. Personally I really enjoyed the food! You just can’t find southern fried catfish in Honduras! And the deserts…. Well I am on a diet now! We are grateful for the opportunity to attend the conference. We always come away rejuvenated and ready to work again. Thank you for your prayers and continued support. Thank you Tuscaloosa, Alabama First UMC.
On another note, we are back in Honduras and have begun working again. This past Thursday we were in Fuerzas Unidas, here in Tegucigalpa and Friday we went to Lepaterique. In the coming week we will be in Ciudad España Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday and on Thursday we will be in Fuerzas Unidas. We will also pick up Jim Burris on Thursday in preparation for their group from Kentucky the next week.
We would also like to thank Brentwood Methodist in Brentwood Tennessee for their continued support and the purchasing of medicine for our work. Without your support we could not accomplish all that we do. Thank you Brentwood Methodist!
We appreciate each one of you, your prayers, your support, and your commitment to helping us to help the poor in Honduras.
Of course it goes without saying that without God we would not be able to our work. He is our help & guidance every day. It is good that He is in control and not us.

Thank you Edwards Grove Church

We want to thank Edwards Grove Church for their gracious hospitality this morning. We thoroughly enjoyed being in Sunday School and worship with you. John and Ana were greatly encouraged about the interest shown in the mission and a few people asking about traveling to Honduras to work for a few days. Sarah will be getting in touch with those who are interested with some details later. A big thank you to Jerry and Sharon Connell for coordinating our visit and lunch. Your love offering comes at a critical financial time and we are thankful for your support and prayers.

On another note we are still needing money for the purchase of the land for the women's hospital. Anything you donate will be matched from a generous donor so your $10 becomes $20 and your $25 become $50. Please pray about what God would have you to give.

Thank you and have a blessed week!
