Meet Our New Friend!

Meeting new people here is always nice, but there is one special friend I want to guys to meet. His name is Noel and he begs for money at the Dippsa Station in Cerro Grande. I normally see him when I have to go grab something from the store and I usually buy him something to eat. Well today as I was working outside when I heard a little voice through my gate saying "Hola Mi Amigo" (Hello My Friend) and it was Noel. He wanted to know if he could help me wash the ministry truck. He began to share with me that he had parents, but that they did not have a job so he goes and begs for money to help them out with the everyday essentials to live. He lives in the city and walks every Monday to the Dippsa and stays there until Saturday morning when he returns home with his weeks pay. What's even more surprising is that he is only 10 years old. It just blew me away how he still smiles in the midst of his circumstance. I have never seen anyone smile as much as he did while washing that truck. When we finished washing the truck, he wanted to know if we could take a picture of it now that it was clean. This kid is AWESOME! Lori prepared him some food and then we parted ways. Please pray for Noel and for his safety.

Life in Honduras

Well we have been here for three weeks now and things are going well. We are able to finally get around the city by ourselves and have just about finished with the painting in our house. Most of the time we have just been hanging out with the boys and building relationships with them. It's truly amazing what God has done in the lives of these boys.



A few weeks ago we went to the National museum with the boys from Noah's Arc School and there was a moment that made me realize exactly where God brought them from. We were crossing Puente Chile and as we got to the corner on the other side one of the boys sitting next to me covered his nose and mouth due to the horrible smell. The same place he used to live. The same river he took a bath in and drank his water from. The same place he used to find food at. It was overwhelming to see the provisions of God for this young boy. God is Good and to Him be the glory!

Every morning we still see the kids in the streets, dumpster, and down on the river, just trying to survive the cruel streets of Teguc. We know that God has a plan and we trust in His grace that he will provide. Please pray for these kids and their protection.

God has really opened up doors for us while we have been here. I will be speaking at the International School here in Tegucigalpa the week after Semana Santa or Holy Week. I will have the opportunity to share about the ministry and a message to the the students there. Also yesterday we met a man at church that works with the Micah Project. They also work with street kids in Honduras. We have found an attorney to start our paper work for residency and she just happens to be the sister of one of the guys that works at the shelter. She specializes in immigration. We have also become friends with the Honduran Consulate while being here and have been invited to eat lunch with her and her husband before they head back to the States. God has put all kinds of resources in front of us that could be vital to the ministry here.

Lori will be starting some English Classes soon and the boys keep asking her "when are we going to start". It's like watching a kid in a candy store when they ask. They are very excited to have the opportunity to learn another language. Pray for Lori as she prepares for the classes.


We will have a team coming in from Chattanooga, Tn (Silverdale Baptist) this coming weekend and we ask that pray for them while they minister to the people of Honduras.
