March 17,2011 Udate from THOC

Hello from Honduras,

Wow, have we been busy! There are just not enough hours in the day. I am sure many of you have that same thought at times. We just had an amazing medical brigade in Fuerzas Unidas with a great group from Kentucky. They did a fantastic job treating 1444 patients in the medical and dental areas. They also treated 800 children at the neighborhood school with fluoride and gave them toothbrushes and toothpaste. In addition they brought a veterinary that treated 312 animals including cows, horses, donkeys, cats & dogs. We have been visiting government offices trying to encourage them to work on our papers. We have worked in Nueva Jerusalen seeing many patients. We have visited 3 new churches and set up medical brigades with each of them. We are preparing for a group coming from Brentwood Methodist in Brentwood Tennessee. They are coming April 9th for a week. Jim Burris the architect for the women’s clinic will be here on the 21st of this month (March) for a meeting with our project engineer in Honduras and with an environmental engineer.

I would like to ask each of you to take a minute, go to our website (www.thehandsofchrist.org), and sign up for our twitter account so you can get quick updates to see what we are doing each week. And if you go to our blog site, www.thehandsofchrist.blogspot.com and become a “friend” you can see new photos quickly and the old e-mails and other updates.

As missionaries we rely on each of you for donations to continue our work. We are a non-profit organization. We are trying to grow our base of support for us, to purchase medicine, and for the women’s clinic and we need your help. God has shown us that He loves the Honduran people and wants us to help them more and more. God has given us the direction He wants us to go.

Through His leading we have developed plans for a modern energy efficient women’s clinic. We have the blueprints for the women’s clinic ready. We have our Honduran Engineer. We are getting really close to being ready to begin construction of the women’s clinic. We need you to think about those people that you know that truly love the Lord, have an interest in missions, and would be interested in helping us with our ministry. Let them know that you are supporting us. Your friends value your opinion. Encourage them to visit our website www.thehandsofchrist.org or contact us via the website or at johnyana_41@hotmail.com. We have several people that would love to come and talk about our mission with Sunday schools, mission leaders, business owners or whoever has an interest in missions. We can do video calls over the internet too. There are pamphlets that can be downloaded from our website. If you know a person in your church or another church or business that has an interest in missions, would you set up an introduction for us? God will show you who that person or persons are. Again please let them know that you are already supporting our work. Our ministry is growing. God has given us much to do, so I know that He will supply our needs. But that does not mean we can sit on our hands and do nothing. We are working hard and there are others that have done a tremendous amount too. In a few months we are going to have the permits to begin construction on our women’s clinic. So we are reaching out to you, our supporters, to help us find more support & resources for the ministry.

May God richly bless you as you bless others,
