A New Face, Having Some Fun and an Infomercial

Well we have a new boy in the ministry named Hector. Hector was found in Siguatepeque begging for money at a bus stop called Bongos. Those of you from Birmingham know this place better than anyone. This is the cousin of Junior and entered the ministry last weekend. We had a plan to bring the other three boys into the ministry, but God apparently had a different one. Gods plan is always better then our own! He had adjusted well and we are so glad God gave us the opportunity to help rescue Hector from the cruel streets he faced each day. He always smiles and has such a sweet spirit. Please pray for Hector as he continues to adjust.



A team from North Carolina just left us last week and what a time it was. Both of our new missionary couples came on this trip (The Fosters and The Diegelmans) and what a blessing they are. They are in the process os raising their support, so please be in prayer for them as they continue to move forward in their support raising. They truly are where God wants them to be. This team took a week and spent their time with the boys of the ministry and did food ministry as well. So we want to share a few pictures of the day at the Water Park.

Until next time, take care and God Bless.

Prayer Requests - Three Boys and a Truck

First Prayer Request - Three Boys from Siguatepeque

Since the closing of Toncontin Airport in Tegucigalpa we have had to travel 110 miles (5 1/2 hours) to pick up our teams. We were all dreading the trip , but God had a plan in store for us during these last few weeks. Our first trip back from San Pedro Sula we met three boys at a bus stop in Siguatepeque begging for money. Their ages are 8, 10, and 12.

Isaias, Yunior (Junior), and Nery

One of the boys, Junior, told me that his parents were dead and that his brothers and sisters were also dead from eating some sort of poison when they were little, but he was living with an aunt. He began to tell me that he begged for money so that they would have enough money for his family to eat. The other two boys also beg in order to have some food on the table. We shared the ministry with them and told them that we would be coming back through the next week and would like to talk to the relative that was overseeing them. We gave them a time for the next week, but due to flight delays we were unable to find them. We have looked for three weeks for these young boys and Glory to God we found them last weekend at a different bus stop. We went to each of their houses and how our hearts broke when we arrived.

Isaias and Nery's house (it's really just a metal roof with no walls)

At one house (Juniors) we had to get out of the truck and walk because the road got so bad that we couldn't drive any further. We have a meeting set up with them this weekend to possibly bring them into the ministry. Please pray that the relatives overseeing them will find this a great opportunity for them to get off them streets and have a new start in life.


Truck Fund
Over the past several months of being here in Honduras we have run into several difficulties with transportation. We have been using a ministry vehicle from the time we arrived in February and with this being the only vehicle in the ministry you can probably imagine how difficult things can get. It's like having a family of 70 people and trying to get it all accomplished. Lori and I are in the process of starting a "Truck Fund" in order to help out with the ministries transportation needs and to meet our own everyday needs. We ask that you all pray with us as we start this fund. If God lays it on your heart to give to this fund and you would like to donate online then follow the link below:
