Hot Tin Roof!

Friends,
Another week has gone by and the political situation is about the same. Honduras for the most part is calm even though I have been told on the news in the states they are portraying it quite the contrary. There are still some demonstrations and some groups are on strike, but all that is very common in Honduras and most of the time no one gives it a second thought, except the foreign news media. Anyway, we had a good week working in several places. The photos are from “Las Marias de Nueva Armenia”. This is a very remote very poor farming community where houses are scattered far apart. People cultivate the steep hillsides growing corn and beans for local consumption. Most people walked 1-3 hours to come to the clinic and all were very appreciative of the help we were able to give them. Many heard the salvation message and were prayed for by a pastor that we work with quite often. Her name is Pastor Margarita. She loves the Lord and loves even more sharing what He has done for her life.

You might notice in the pictures the inside of the church… the handmade adobe bricks, the dirt floor, the handmade benches without backs, and the heat which you can’t see but you can imagine. It is hot under the tin roof. Can you imagine going to worship and praise God under these conditions? Just something to think about. How much God has blessed us in the United States with comfortable worship conditions.

We are fortunate to be able to serve in these communities, but we can’t do it without your continued help. Please continue praying for us and sending your financial support. We are very appreciative. Please remember our women’s clinic project as the end of the year is fast approaching. The project is moving slowing ahead. A detail survey with tree locations and elevation has just been finished. We will be applying for a permit to make a connection to the highway for our entrance soon and then we will build the entrance road. As you start to think about your yearend giving, please remember us and this very worthy project that will help many people.
