<br />Hello from Honduras,
<br />
<br /> We hope each of you is enjoying God's blessing in your life.
<br />He is an awesome God that loves each of us.
<br />
<br />We have several praises to share with you. God has been working a lot in our
<br />lives and in the ministry that He has given us.
<br />
<br />All 4 of our dispensas have been approved. As you remember a dispensa is
<br />given so you don't have to pay taxes on items brought in the country. This
<br />has saved us lots of money because the different taxes such as introduction
<br />into the country, sales tax, and one or two small taxes they total around
<br />33% of the value of the goods! Praise God for this great savings. Another
<br />Praise we have is that our 2006 F250 is ready for us to pick up in Puerto
<br />Cortes!!!!! This has been an 18 month ordeal for the different permissions
<br />to bring it. We want to thank everyone who donated for the purchase of the
<br />F250 way back in January of 2010. A big thank you to each of you. This new
<br />truck will serve us and the people of Honduras well as we travel the rough
<br />roads.
<br />
<br /> This past week we worked again in a community call Tres de
<br />Mayo here in Tegucigalpa. The week before we worked in Unidad and Fuerzas
<br />another very poor community. There is as always lot of need in the different
<br />communities where we work. We are blessed by each of you and of course by
<br />God to be able to go and serve in these communities.
<br />
<br /> We also have been busy with our customs agent. We have been
<br />working on the paperwork to release the truck. We also have a shipment of
<br />medicine that will arrive this week. And we are getting our paperwork in
<br />order for the other equipment that is in route for the women's hospital. We
<br />have also been to the highway dept. and our permission for the connection
<br />between the highway & our land is about to come out. This is another praise
<br />for God!!! He is providing all we need in His timing.
<br />
<br /> We need you to continue praying for our environmental
<br />license and all the little things that need to be done so that this will
<br />move through their system quickly.
<br />
<br />Please continue to pray for our safety here in Honduras and pray for us to
<br />be healthy so that we may continue our service to God. Pray for the funding
<br />for the women's hospital to continue to come in quickly. We ask that each of
<br />you pray and ask God what you can do to help in this ministry or who can you
<br />tell about our ministry. We need to grow! We need your help! We thank each
<br />one of you for your continued support and prayers. We are grateful for you
<br />and your love of God that allows you to help us. What an awesome God we serve.
<br />
<br /> As we have said before we are looking for someone to help us
<br />raise money for the women's clinic and overall work in Honduras. There is
<br />compensation for this job.

<br />Hello from Honduras,
<br />
<br /> We hope all of you are doing well. It has been a couple of weeks
<br />since we wrote. We have been really busy finishing up with a team doing a
<br />water project that will bring purified water to around 600 families in three
<br />villages. They are going to donate 291 Sawyer Point One water filters to 291
<br />families and teach them how to use the filters. Another 9 filters will be
<br />installed in 3 different schools in the communities. To date 30 families
<br />have received the filters and one has been installed in each of two schools
<br />and two have been installed in the 3rd school. The members of the 30
<br />families that know how to use the filters will be "teachers" in November
<br />when the group comes with the other 266 filters.
<br />
<br /> We were busy with the 4 dispensas for around a month. If you
<br />remember a dispensa is what we need to bring stuff into Honduras without
<br />paying taxes on it. Well, I am happy to report that 3 of them have been
<br />approved and the forth should be approved this week. We appreciate all the
<br />prayers that offered for the dispensas.
<br />
<br />We have also been working on the permissions for the construction of the
<br />women's hospital. Please continue to pray for our Environmental license. The
<br />part of the government that is in charge of that is called SERNA. Please
<br />pray for them to approve our papers quickly. Also pray for those in charge
<br />of the highway department. Our application to build an access to our land
<br />was in someone's drawer for almost two months. This past week we tracked it
<br />down and got it moving again. Pray for them to complete their work quickly.
<br />
<br />Last week we also worked in a new neighborhood called Los Pinos. It is a
<br />poor neighborhood that is not to far from our women's hospital site. We are
<br />starting to work in more of the neighborhoods that are close to our women's
<br />hospital site.
<br />
<br />Just a reminder that we are looking for someone to help us raise money for
<br />the women's hospital. There is compensation for the person or persons that
<br />help us. We need your help!
<br />
<br />We want to ask you to pray fervently for our safety and that we will hear
<br />and obey God's voice every day. Pray that the ship bringing our new truck
<br />will arrive without any problems. It is due to leave Miami on the 24th and
<br />arrive at Puerto Cortes, Honduras on the 27th. Also pray that we will have
<br />no problems getting it or any of the other donated items out of customs.
<br />Remember that you can donate via the website using PayPal or by sending your
<br />check to:

The surgery team that is here right now<br />successfully repaired the two hernias that the man had. They were his most<br />pressing need and potentially most dangerous. Everything went well. The man<br />is back home here in Tegucigalpa. I would ask that you continue to pray for<br />healing in his body. He is signed up for the next surgery team that is<br />coming the 27 of August when they will remove the very large fatty tumor<br />that is on his upper back between his shoulders. His age was a factor in not<br />doing both of the surgeries at one time. But he felt good today when we<br />picked him up and said he did not hurt anymore. He was a little sore from<br />the surgery but not to much. Thanks for all your prayer. We appreciate each<br />one of you.<br /><br /> <br /><br />In Christ Service Always<br /><br />John & Ana LamonSarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05097247739471056291noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2974791673156641529.post-9737308860239299812011-07-18T06:56:00.000-05:002011-07-18T06:57:19.497-05:00Update from Honduras July 18, 2011For the coming week we are working to send a man to remove a fatty tumor ½<br />the size of a soccer ball on the back of his neck. There is a mission<br />hospital about an hour and a half from Tegucigalpa in Guaimaca that has a<br />surgery team arriving on the 23rd of this month. So he will be going this<br />Tuesday for an evaluation. So please pray that he will be accepted for the<br />surgery. He is 79 years old and has had a chest infection. Pray for him to<br />be completely healed so they will do the surgery. He has had this tumor for<br />more than 20 years. <br /><br />Apart from this we will be working in Los Laurels for 3 days this week. Pray<br />for us to be safe, always hear and obey God, and to understand the patients<br />needs and give out the medicine correctly.<br /><br />Pray for our Dispensas to be signed. The dispensas will allow us to bring<br />some equipment for the women’s clinic and our truck {that was purchased 1 ½<br />years ago} into the country without paying 33% tax on the different items.<br />Pray for our application for an environmental permit to be approved quickly.<br />This is also for the women’s clinic. Things move slow in Honduras but we<br />know that our God can make things move faster. We also know that all things<br />will happen in God’s timing and not ours. So I will ask you to pray for us<br />to be patient when necessary and pray for God to speed the government<br />process up. <br /><br />We are asking each of you to pray about how you can help us with the<br />construction of the women’s clinic. It may be that God wants to use you to<br />tell someone else about the project. It may be that God wants you to<br />personally participate in some way. We are just asking that you pray about<br />this and listen to what God is telling you and step out in faith as we have.<br />Listed below are some of the immediate expenses that we will incur in the<br />next few months. Thank you for your prayer and support and God bless each of<br />you.<br /><br />I would also like to ask each of you to share this e-mail with others on<br />your e-mail list.

Since Tuesday have been hard at work trying to satisfy the<br />governments ever changing requirements. At this time we would like to ask you to<br />pray that our dispensas will be approved quickly and without further changes to<br />them. A dispensa is a paper that allows you to bring something into Honduras without<br />paying taxes and introduction fees which amount to 33% of the cost of something or<br />the value that they place on an object. We have requested a dispensa to bring our<br />2006 F250 Pick up truck to Honduras and another one for some pumps, water filters,<br />and a sewage treatment system that was donated for the Women's clinic. We also would<br />like you to please continue to pray for safety. Please pray that we will seek God's<br />will always and obey his voice ineverything we do. We continue to ask each of you to<br />pray for our ministry to be prosperous and grow in support and in the numb<br /> er of supporters that we have so that we can improve our care that we offer to<br />those in need. Please pray about how you, your Churches, Sunday schools, etc. can<br />help with the women's clinic. Please use the share button and send this to your<br />friends and family.We appreciate each one of you as well as your prayers.<br /><br /><br />In Christ Service Always<br />John & Ana Lamon<br />P.O.

We are so proud of her.<br /><br /> On another important note: In response to the prayer request a few weeks ago all our prayers for a speedy process have been answered!! We have been recognized by the Finance dept. of the Honduran Government. I think this is a record. We received this recognition in only 3 weeks. We are so grateful for each of you that prayed for this matter to proceed quickly. We have an awesome God. Thank you God and thanks to each of you.<br /><br /> On yet another note: Below is a list of pressing expenses that we will be facing shortly with the women’s clinic. We would like to ask you to pray about these items and then listen to how God ask you to respond. Please share these with your Sunday Schools, churches, and friends. Let’s get this clinic built and in operation so we can better serve those in need. Thanks for your continued support and prayers. We appreciate each of you!!

The time is fast approaching to begin construction. Over the last year and a half many of you have said you wanted to help. Many have stepped up and done what they could. You have helped monetarily, with in kind donations, or introducing us to others that can help in other ways. We are very grateful for those that have begun to participate in the various ways. We need more of our supporters and friends to help. We just ask that you lift our mission up in prayer and then do as your heart leads you. God will speak to you! Use the “Share This” button at the top of the e-mail and send it your friends. Encourage them to learn about the work we do & support us. Your friends value your opinion.<br /><br />With each of you helping to spread the word of the work that God has given us, we can continue to glorify God in our work and with our lives. For those of you that have been here and seen firsthand the people, how they live, and the love we give them through our work we are relying on you to tell others of your experience. We especially need you to share your experience so that others may be encouraged and God’s kingdom will grow. If your church, Sunday school class, or other group of interested people would like someone to come and share their experience and to learn about how you can support the women’s clinic, please let us know. We have several that would love to come and share with you. If you have any questions, please contact us at johnyana_41@hotmail.com.

We are working in a community called Vista Hermosa or Beautiful View. I think that is a matter of opinion. Any way we are working in a great church. They pray with the people for healing or other needs, council those that need it, & share the gospel of Jesus with them. All this with the people that are our patients. This is a fantastic church. We had 118 on Tuesday and 105 today. We will be there again tomorrow. <br /><br />God is good all the time! <br /><br />In Christ Service Always <br /><br /><br />John & Ana Lamon <br /><br />www.thehandsofchrist.org <br />P.O.

Praising our Amazing God!We have had an amazing day. We went to work and saw a few patients in Nueva Jerusalen. Then we went to check on our Convenio with the Government Health dept. Yesterday they told us to come back today. The secretary we talked with today was very arrogant with us and told us it was not ready. On the way out we were very disappointed. I ask God to put someone in our way that could help us. Well he did! Just as we were leaving we ran into someone we knew and explained to her what had just happened. She said to call her in 30 minutes. When we made the call she said that our Convenio (agreement) had been signed!! Praise God!!! <br /><br /> We want to thank each one of you that prayed for the minister of health to sign this agreement. This is a big deal because it will allow us to bring all our equipment for the women's clinic into Honduras without paying taxes on it. This agreement took 13 to 14 months from the time we started working on it until it was signed by the minister. Lots of prayers went into this.

He has had it for 4 - 5 weeks. There is no reason that he does not sign it. Each head of dept. within the ministry of health has approved it or requested a change in wording. All of this has taken place. The government lawyers have approved it. Please pray now and pray hard that his mind is clear and God with move his heart to sign the paper. <br /><br />Thanks for your prayers.<br /><br /> <br />In Christ Service Always,<br /><br /> <br />John & Ana Lamon <br />www.thehandsofchrist.org <br />P.O.

They are an extraordinary group of individuals. Each brought their own talents that the Lord had given them and as a group put them to work serving Him. We worked in Nueva Capital, Las Adras, Carrizal 2 days, & Villa Linda Miller. When they arrived they were full of questions about what to expect. We tried to answer them as best we could and reassure them that all would be fine. There were 3 doctors, 3 nurse practitioners, 1 Physical therapist, & 4 really good helpers. There were no slackers in this group. Many had been on missions before, just not in the capacity as a medical professional. This was their first time. As the first day of work began we were on top of a mountain overlooking Tegucigalpa in a small wooden church and very crowded. The noise of 7 medical personnel, their translators, plus the patients, all talking at once can be quite loud. But I could see as the day wore on the jitters were leaving & everyone was adjusting to their work and the fact that most of them had to use a translator to do the job they know so well. By the end of day 2 everything was flowing smoothly and the number of patients seen daily was growing. They were a like a well oil machine doing what they do best, healing those that are hurting. Days 3, 4, & 5 were routine for them. Their efficiency continued to improve and they were relaxed enjoying their work. They were fantastic. I could not stop writing without talking about the pharmacy team. They caught on so quick to the work that I was impressed. They quickly learned the medicines and dosages that the doctors were ordering. The pharmacy dispensed the medicine almost as soon as they received each patients RX and each day we finished only 5 - 10 minutes after the doctors. It did help that two members of the pharmacy team spoke Spanish and could assist giving out the medicine. In the pharmacy we had 3 regulars and one nurse practitioner or PT rotating each day. Before the doctors or pharmacy could do their work, each patient had to pass through the pre-clinic where blood pressures were taken, allergies to medicines noted, and information about the patients current needs noted for the doctors. Those in the pre-clinic were fast and proficient. Hats off to a great group.<br /><br /> Notes From Dr. Ana: This group was really terrific. We worked as a real team. Even though I had not met most of them before, I can say, they gave their all for the Hondurans. As my husband said this Team is full of talents, what I noticed though was they were humble, and gentle and quiet in spirit. Nobody was arrogant or thinking they were auto sufficient. They always supported each other and in this way the whole week was successful. They were always listening to suggestions and working together before each challenge or new situation. I felt that I was really part of this group. I felt like the Holy Spirit was guiding us at every moment and as a real testimony I can say all of them were obeying what God was asking of them every day in different places that we work.<br /><br /> Finally, I can say no matter that a person can be an excellent professional, a prominent person, but if this person does not have a sincere love for your brother or neighbor all will be vanish.<br /><br /> I Peter 3:4: Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. <br /><br /> In Christ Service Always, <br /><br />John & Ana Lamon <br /><http://www.thehandsofchrist.org> <br />www.thehandsofchrist.org <br />P.O.

We had 305 patients total for the 3 days. All were sick. One patient came from Hospital Escuela, which is the hospital where the poor people go. They are suppose to receive the medicine and care they need there. He came to our clinic and had 7 prescriptions that they had given him. Dr. Ana checked him over and we were able to give him the medicine that he needed. <br /><br /> There is such a great need among the poor. Not just here but everywhere. It is our calling as Christians to go into all the world and proclaim Christ and help those in need as our Savior did.<br /> <br /> I would like to take this time to thank all who have continued to support us, and our work. We are forever thankful for you allowing us to serve God here in Honduras. I would like to encourage those who have had to stop supporting us for whatever reason to please reconsider. Whatever amount you can send $10.00, $25.00, or more monthly would be a tremendous help to us. No amount is too small or too big. <br /><br /> We will be sending an email shortly to talk about immediate needs for the Women's Clinic that will soon be under construction. Be thinking and praying about how you, your Sunday school class, church, business associates, or whomever God puts on your mind can help. Pray first, and then take action. We pray God's peace to each of you. <br /><br />In Christ Service Always,<br /><br /><br />John & Ana Lamon <br />www.thehandsofchrist.org <br />P.O.

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. <br /><br /> 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.<br /> <br />In Christ Service,<br /> <br /><br />John & Ana Lamon <br /><br />www.thehandsofchrist.org<br />P.O.

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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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. <br /><br />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.<br /><br />May God richly bless you as you bless others,<br />John & Ana Lamon<br />The Hands of Christ – P.O. 1252 – Franklin, Tennessee 37065<br />011-504-8-990-9396<br /> <br /> <br />In Christ Service Always<br />John & Ana Lamon<br /> <br />www.thehandsofchrist.org<br />P.O.

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. <br />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.<br />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! <br />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. <br />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!<br /><br />In His Hands,<br />Sarah HathawaySarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05097247739471056291noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2974791673156641529.post-67087388278752048952010-12-22T12:50:00.001-06:002010-12-22T12:52:26.380-06:002010 and THE HANDS OF CHRISTMerry Christmas from Honduras,<br /> <br />As we look back at 2010, we can see that much has been accomplished. For this, we give all the glory and honor to God. After all, He is the giver of all wisdom and abilities to succeed in this ministry.<br /> <br />We would like to thank each of our supporters. Without your prayers, contributions, and willingness to serve our work would not be possible. Your gifts have allowed more than 10,000 people to receive the medical care they so desperately need. For example, while a team was here with us we had a mother bring a severely dehydrated and malnourished baby to our clinic. The decision was made to send the baby to the hospital where it could receive intravenous rehydration treatments. This saved the baby’s life. One of the team members decided to sponsor the baby and is purchasing food and clothes for the baby. In a matter of several short weeks the baby responded to the nourishment it was receiving and is growing stronger. These are the miracles that each of you that support us is causing to happen.<br /> <br /> Lives are changed physically and for some, spiritually too. Because we are here in Honduras, people are coming to know the Lord as their personal Savior. This only happens because you care enough to support us and to help us purchase the medicines that we need to run the medical clinics. God’s work continues here in Honduras. Some progress is being made on different permits and agreements with the Government Health department. Our Women’s Clinic plans continue to move forward. We are now working with the Honduran environmental agency to get their approval for our project. The slowness of the government is frustrating for us. We are trusting God that all will happen in His time. It is amazing as we look back and see how God has placed different people into our ministry at different times to help and encourage us, but more importantly to further His Kingdom and His work. He is Faithful all the time.<br /> <br />As 2010 comes to a close, please remember us in your end of the year giving. All gifts are tax deductable. We hope that you will continue to support us as the New Year begins. Please keep us in your prayers. Always pray for our safety and pray for us to hear and obey God. Pray for our base of supporters to grow. Please encourage others to visit our website www.thehandsofchrist.org. Please feel free to contact us at johnyana_41@hotmail.com. We would love to hear from you. If you would like to send a team or come as an individual please contact us and let us know.<br /> <br />We hope each of you has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. May God’s peace fill your hearts and minds, and may He fill your days with blessings that you cannot imagine. We appreciate each of you.<br /> <br />For correspondence or donations: The Hands of Christ -- P.O.

Box 1252 Franklin, TN 37065. Thank you, Sarah Hathaway</em><br /><br />One of our recent groups was led by Dr. John Waits from Tuscaloosa, Alabama. They worked with us from July 17 until July 23. He brought his wife Rachel and one of his children Mitchell. Dr. Waits worked in the medical clinic while Rachel and Mitchell worked as part of the group with the non-medical people and the locals. It was fun to see them open themselves up to the locals. They colored pictures with the smaller children and with the older children the game was always soccer. Soccer is the national pastime in Honduras. Mitchell was good at interacting and sharing himself with others and he learned some Spanish words quickly. He shared some fun stickers with all the children. Whatever part you play on a team, medical or non-medical, the most important thing to remember is to be flexible and you will have a great time.<br /><br /> Also in the group was Laura, a medical student, and Dr. Beth Western. It was really a pleasure to work with them. They were very committed, disciplined, and had a great love for their work and fellowman. Their example continues to motivate me to go into the world and show the world God’s love and that God is real; to show that God has men and women ready to work with Him and for Him; to return the favor to God that He has so graciously given us {His love}. This group also realized that what they possess on this earth is really just on loan from God and to really enjoy God’s blessings we need to be people that enjoy giving and should not fear it. In this case, we all used our God given talents to serve those who are the “least of these”. <br /><br />God has put in our lives a young man named Oscar Espinoza, who is our main translator. He is a young man full of life, a life he has given to God for Him to use and God does use him. Also we would like to commend Laura for her excellent job translating for Dr. Waits. She is a great example of letting God use her for His Kingdom. We can all be used for God’s Kingdom if we just let Him have control. <br /><br />I don’t want to forget to mention our other translator for this group, Ana Leticia, the “new kid” for her young age of 20. This was her first experience translating and she was touched by the love this group from Alabama showed to the poor in Lepaterique. The atmosphere around them seemed supernatural. It was charged with God’s love and compassion for the people we were helping. It was amazing to see them praying for each patient and so eager to tell others about God’s love and salvation for them. We all know that God is love, but it seems so hard for most of us to share that as it is meant to be shared, yet for this group it came as from another dimension. It was easy for them and they were eager to do God’s bidding as we all should be. This group left me with a challenge to pray with all my patients. It is always amazing to me that even with them taking the time to pray for all their patients we saw each and every patient that God sent us.<br /><br />The object of both doctors in the group was to give physical healing, but also to bring each patient to know Christ as their personal Savior. God knows with His infinite wisdom that not only our bodies need His healing but also our souls. In Mathew 9:1-7 Jesus first forgave the paralytic’s sins and then gave him physical healing. This is our example to follow! Many times while the doctors were praying with patients I (Ana) heard them ask God to forgive the sins of the patient they were praying for. This is the example given us in the prayer of faith in James 5:13-16. What a great example they were setting as they prayed for each patient.<br />Our God’s mercy is immense. To send workers such as this group makes me turn my face to God and analyze my actions to see if what I am doing is pleasing to God. Each day as we finish our work I give my work to God having done my part and knowing that He will do his and His name will be glorified. <br /><br />I give thanks to God each day for His mercy and how He teaches us and helps us to grow in Christ. Each day I ask God for His wisdom and for Him to help me to see the more than 100 patients each day that we work. I know that when I am helping my fellowman that I am following God’s leading as taught in Mathew 25:31-46. Another thing that I ask just as Peter or Paul or any of His disciples ask was that after I finish examining my patient that I can lay hands on them and they will be healed. In all our work we are completing the verse found in Mathew 9:37-38 “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” I need to and want to do what God has planned for me day after day with Christ as the center of my life and my husband’s life in relation to the ministry that we have been called to serve.<br /><br />I want to share with you two miracles of healing. One happened while Dr. Waits group was here and the other while Claudia Stull and Charlotte Shepherd from Kentucky were here. There was a teenager with Hemorrhagic Dengue which can be fatal and a 5 year old boy with Leukemia. In both cases I looked for the local pastor and other to pray for them and they were healed!! They were healed by the power of God through His word. Again we were just following what it says in James 5:14-16. Is anyone of you is sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.<br /><br />In Christ Service Always,<br />Ana LamonSarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05097247739471056291noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2974791673156641529.post-63183152347426835482010-08-18T11:46:00.002-05:002010-08-18T11:50:56.921-05:00Words from a Missionary from Kentucky<strong><em>A few words from Claudia Stull, a faithful summer missionary to Honduras for several years now.

How did I see God as work here today, I pondered in my room. How could I not see him when we are here to minister to the people in His name?<br /><br />Over the weekend God told me to pray with each person or family that I saw in the clinic. That Monday, John opened the clinic in prayer and asked God to show us how to ‘open our mouths’, and speak what the people needed to hear. Confirmation. I began praying with those I saw.<br /><br />That morning three women came with physical concerns, but also with issues of the heart that needed to talk and be comforted. Not the usual scenario. The next day six people accepted Christ. Later came the older gentleman who told us of how he met God two years ago and was now marrying his common law wife of 35 years, because he saw that living together was not what God would have him do. His desire now is to live his life in a manner pleasing to God. <br /><br />Prayer was through a young interpreter and as she worked with all of us, the Holy Spirit came alive for her, replacing what she had known as a dead religious spirit. She asked God to show her how to live this vibrant God-filled life and how to have a personal relationship with Him.<br /><br />The last day of clinic a young man was carried in minimally responsive. Ana diagnosed him with hemorrhagic dengue, which is most often fatal. Ana, Pastora Margarita and I prayed for him as Ana believed he had only a short while to live. Ana led him to Christ, and asked those with him to take him to the hospital immediately. Clinic was busy that morning but I did see him briefly and noticed that he was able to walk unassisted to a chair to wait on transportation. Later we learned that he recovered. As Ana said, “The boy is more than better. Everybody in Las Hadras admired the way GOD HEALED THIS BOY!!! HE NEVER WENT TO THE HOSPITAL. He just drank oral rehydration salt at his house. I remember this boy was running a fever and hypotension. I did not give him any other medication except what I told you. And the end of this story: GOD HEALED HIM.”<br /><br />We saw the sprit of satan and the sprit of lawlessness at work, but we saw the Spirit of God as well, and God is more powerful still.<br /><br /><br />You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart. Jer. 23:19<br /><br />We sought Him and He showed up.<br /><br /><br /><br /><strong></strong>Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05097247739471056291noreply@blogger.com1
