We had a great meeting with the environmental engineer yesterday. She will
start work on her report which she says will take about 3 weeks to complete.
She will visit out land Monday to better understand what is going on
environmentally. Pray for her to work fast!
In Christ Service Always

Hello from Honduras,
We have great news to share with all our supporters. Our friend, Bill Drury, who has been working hard to develop and design our water and sewage system for the women's clinic has let us know that an American company & their employees have agreed to donate the 10 pumps that we need for the clinic. They have also agreed to donate a waste water treatment. They have also said that they will send people to Honduras to install the equipment. Not counting the people coming to Honduras this is right at a $50,000.00 donation. Praise God! He is good and faithful all the time. I challenge each of you to pray about our project and ask God to show you how you can help too. If you tell God you want to help, He can and will use each of us. You might say to yourself what can I do, but it might not be what you can do but who you know.
Please pray and ask God for guidance. If you need more info, contact us and we will answer each of your questions. God Bless each of you.
In Christ Service,

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,
John & Ana Lamon

March Update 2011
Greetings Friends, March 2, 2011
Let me share with you that Dr. Ana and John Lamon, representing The Hands of Christ, Inc. have been very busy over the last few weeks. Dr. Ana and John have been going several times a week to government offices trying to speed up the paper work on the "Convenio de Salud" (our "agreement with the health dept."). In the middle of January, Dr. Ana and John worked in Lepaterique, Honduras, checking 200 children that are in a program by run by Compassion International and spent extra time completing the paper work for this organization. Following that commitment, we again visited the government officials trying to help the “Convenio de Salud” paperwork through the appropriate channels. We also prepared and submitted papers to the medical and dental college to obtain permission for the doctors and dentist with the medical team from Kentucky to work legally in Honduras this week. We also completed the paper work for a Tennessee team that is coming in April. Last week medicine was purchased and 825 tubes of toothpaste and toothbrushes for the Kentucky group. We also spent half a day going to customs and picking up medicine for them and taking it out to Fuerzas Unidas so it would be there for them to distribute. They have seen somewhere around 700+ patients yesterday and today.
We continue to proceed in planning the Women’s Clinic. In the last two weeks, we have visited our surveyor/engineer who was preparing the entrance and road plans to be submitted to the highway department and the environmental agency here in Tegucigalpa. We took them to the highway department for them to review before we submitted them for approval. They gave us a few minor changes to make and the engineer has completed the changes and our lawyer is preparing them for official submission before the end of the week.
At the end of January, Dr. Ana, John and John Israel traveled to the States for the Global Mission Conference at First United Methodist Church in Tuscaloosa, AL. This conference and the friends that have been made there are revitalizing to our souls. While in Tuscaloosa, they attended a gathering of supporters to begin fundraising for the Women’s Clinic in Tegucigalpa. You will be hearing more about that in the near future. Please pray for us as decisions are made about the progression of the Clinic. Dr. Ana and John had the opportunity to visit with several other supporting churches in the days following the conference. Sadly, some visits had to be cancelled because of the winter weather that arrived in middle Tennessee while they were here but John Israel sure had fun playing in the snow with his cousins!
As you visit with friends and family over spring break and summer vacation the next few months, please be sure to tell them about The Hands of Christ and direct them to the website at www.thehandsofchrist.org to sign up for the e-newsletter. Encourage them to learn more and pray about how they are to support our mission.
On a personal note, let me share with you that communications will now be coming from Sharon Connell. She and her husband have known and supported Dr. Ana and John and The Hands of Christ since its inception. Our girls are becoming teenagers and their schedules sometimes make my head spin so I am going pass the communication baton to Sharon knowing she will do an amazing job sharing the news from Honduras. Thank you for all your support over the years and please continue to share with others the amazing work that Dr. Ana and John are doing for the Lord!
In His Hands,
Sarah Hathaway
